Rating metrics: Help 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)

My very first experience of Nirvana. I was 17 and it was like nothing I’d ever heard before.

Kurdt's found a little bit more room on the back of his fag packet for these lyrics. Written by K about himself. Wonder what he did in the rest of his toilet break. Trouble is once you have listened to this you have introduced a worm into your head that cannot be released. Repetition, repetition, repetition.

This is out of 'my' reach

This and School are the two best Bleacg songs, they're grunge classics.
