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)

Subtly sung, subtly played, melancholic masterpiece. All the hazebuzz of their older work feels like it informed this quieter cut, a milestone of their progress, so astute and quaintly destructive. 'Inicinerate' has an inevitableness that gives us Sonic Youth at their most vulnerable.
One of their most powerful songs, easily the key track off of Rather Ripped
Cool rocking track from Sonic Youth, love the guitar work from Thurston and Lee as well as the rhythm of Kim and Steve
