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 89.9/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.2.

Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables was a high point in the Dead Kennedy's album career. Holiday in Cambodia is the best track on the album. Whether you want to call it 'Punk' or 'Hardcore' it's an amazing song however you want to categorize it. The Dead Kennedy's signature sarcastic social commentary takes a pop at rich college kids who have no understanding of how well off they are, the poor are happy without money, they have 'soul'. The rich college kids need a Holiday in Cambodia under Pol Pot's despotic rule to wake up their perception of the world. One of my all-time favourite tracks.
One of the greatest punk songs ever
This along with Kill The Poor are the two best songs on the album. Absolutely AMAZING.
Legendary
amazing
