Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

The context of this track remains clouded in mystery to this day , how ever Stipe has confessed in an interview that the line: "You And I We Know About Time" is core to it's meaning
The video to this track is incredible and well worth your checking out as paintings in a Georgia Art Museum seemingly come to life
GoliathQuite the sLOW song....it's not bad but its kinda boring
