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)

One of Krist's best bass lines

To me, this song has the sound that encompasses everything that grunge stands for.

One of Nirvana's Best song IMO
5/10 lyrics, but a rhythm that gets very cool very quick.
In all honesty, as a SONG compared to all others, I give it a 5-6. But as a grugne song, it's an 8.
To me, this is one of the weaker tracks on the album.. which really says a lot for the album as a whole.
