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)

Another doors like track (or are the doors playing country joe like tracks!). Anyway, nice vibe to this track. Slow tempo bluesy number. Nice stuff
THis is decent psychedelic mood song. Kinda great
Just wasn't feeling it. Definitely one of the more chill songs on the album.
