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)

One of the band’s most bludgeoning riffs. Egregiously heavy with a uniquely detached lead vocal.
One of Soundgarden’s most underrated songs.
The absolute "employer-employee relationship" song.

Music is suitably intense, for an intense song on an insane subject matter. Cracking track!
Probably the best track on the album. (Edited)
More impressive than the last song.
Really cool
