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 91.0/100, a mean average of 90.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

This is Bauhaus - Hollow Hills 🤘🏻
Classic riff and overall vibe. My personal favourite Nirvana song!

Completamente foda!
I put first step to learn how to play guitar with that song

My favourite Nirvana song.

That riff is so perfect and the drums are killer aswell. The line Come As You Are is in a way very romantic for Kobain.
This is the track that really got me into Nirvana. Of course, I liked Teen Spirit, but when I heard this, I was like OK I really need to check these guys out!

The chorus is kinda anticlimax.

Better than Smells Like Teen Spirit IMO. It's far better musically, more entertaining to listen too and it not being as overplayed probably helps as well.

A Nirvana classic. Great guitar work and vocals by Kurt.
