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 gruesomely under-discussed gem in the Deep Purple catalog. It’s also another heavily influential set of sounds as they take a boogie feel and bring a heavier grandiosity to it.
I would assume Steve Harris of Iron Maiden heard this song early on.

Emptiness Eagles and Snow, great track.
One of the best DP songs!
That's the third track in a row that I gave 7.5.

Awesome drum intro and Gillan's vocals are hauntingly beautiful here. One of the most underrated Deep Purple songs.
