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)

Wondering why this track gets overlooked as much as it does... It creates a musical maelstrom of anticipation and paranoia the likes of which are rarely seen. This may be the finest cut from the album.

Freakin' awesome.
Nice build up and tempo shifts. The last five minutes of static noise are a bit too long though. Might be interesting to meditate to this.
It's alright/decent. (Edited)
