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)

A perfect track. The 3rd verse makes me think of the end of the world. Very cool and well written lyrics as well.
You can't get tired of listening to this song, even if it has been played to death
One of the best tracks of the '90's. Great mood created by the guitar-bass-drums at the beginning, fantastic lyrics and great sweet solo.
