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 is a really cool track. I love the "I literally couldn't give less of a fuck" energy of the lyrics. It's so witty and snarky and cynical and I love it. Not to mention that guitar riff is killer
My favorite track on the album probably. Like AAL2014 said, this track feels massive. This track feels big and important.

Fucking massive. This song has its own fucking gravity.
Arguably Tool's best song, and one of my personal favourite metal songs ever recorded.
No comments and only an 87 for this? C'mon people...This is one of rock's greatest songs!
