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)

Maybe their best song? Lateralus has something to say about that, but the Grudge has a fucking message too. One of the great album/concert openers ever.
The entire song is a masterpiece, especially the middle portion, which I believe has one of Adam Jones' definitive guitar riffs.
i love the part when the drums just gets faster and faster
