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)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 89.4/100, a mean average of 88.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

One of Krist's best bass lines

One of Nirvana's Best song IMO
Awesome gritty feel to this song, and love the bass groove :) The chorus is sweet as well!

Great riff, weird lyrics. Typical great song by Nirvana.
It took time for this song to grow on me, but once it did, it quickly became one of my favourites from Nevermind.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
It's solid
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 song has the sound that encompasses everything that grunge stands for.
