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 has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.8.

Grim dark lyrics delivered by a sometimes desperate, sometimes manic, often screaming vocal. Backed by a heavy monotonous ponderous beat there is distortion a-plenty. This is primal. You wouldn't play it to your granny unless you were lining up an inheritance.

Astonishingly underrated. One of the rawest tracks they ever made.

Really, A Heavy metal riff?, and a Heavy way to sing, I´m surprised, good song but it really don´t make to much coming from Nirvana
