Rating metrics: Help 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)

The Word & Om

These last two tracks from In Search of…. Need to be listened to together.

The word is a spoken word track of about 45 seconds which leads into the final track on the album, Om.

Very atmospheric track which I really like. A good conclusion to the album. A little bit trippy with sitar, tabla and a whole load of chanting (not a bad thing), this might be my favourite track on the album. Very George Harrison sounding.

It’s got a great feel to it

This is the Moodies' ode to transcendental meditation, which they were exploring at the time. Better than a throwaway, but not a strong part of the album.
