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 has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.3.

A kickstand is a metallic component of a motorcycle that props the entire motor vehicle in an upright position. Soundgarden uses a variety of metaphoric literary devices to elucidate and describe a feeling of riding on a motorcycle.
As a stand-alone track, "Kickstand" is relatively weak, as it is too short and blurs by without making much of a lasting impact, with one exception. Although it is simply a very straight-forward conventional rock-'n-roll track concerning the freedom and power, the sensation one feels when riding a motorcycle, it is not a filler track on the album. It's necessary to relieve all the tension built up from the darker previous tracks.
