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 91.2/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.2.

Very Trout Mask Replica with the horn section.
Dachau Blues, Hair Pie Bake 1 and Pachuco Cadaver comes to mind.
What a brilliant bassline, surely one of the best ever.
I'd happily replace God Save The Queen with this....
WARNING: Don't take acid while listening to this.
Oh my god this is insane. Someone MADE this and thought of it.

CAN at their prime, feat. John Coltrane's "Ascension" octet
Kick-ass song, I love the bassline. The only thing I wasn't immediately a fan of about this song is the horn section, it sounds too much like Funhouse by the stooges.

F***ing banger

always been impressed that Jonny wrote the brass section of this song to sound like a traffic jam
Nice track with a cool bass line :) The trumpet part is awesome!
