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)

Great track, one of my favourites on the album. The instrumentation is great.

I have a lot of trouble appreciating the shouting and vocals that sound like he's drooling.
Got some nice parts, but not my favorite. Still a good song though :)

Me recuerda el estilo vocal al de Bob Dylan por momentos
