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)

Very reassuring vocals here. Love how the vocals and guitar work in unison. (Edited)

Probably my least favorite track on album . The original title of this track was "F@#k Me Kitten" but changed it to Star as a tip of the lid to censorship changing swear words with a * ( star ) symbol (Edited)
Played this album so many times. This is probably the only track that gets worse with every listen. Completely given up on it. Spoils what is an otherwise really nice album. (Edited)

My favourite on the album, it hits a chord with me.
The angelic vocals in the background make this song work
