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)

Rips off POWER by Kanye, but it's pretty good still (Edited)
Sounds a lot more modern than its time, especially with the vocal effects. (Edited)
Definitely one of the best songs ever written. It's so perfect. First there's that epic riff and his vocals, and then the whole middle instrumental part is just genius. One of my favorite songs of all time. (Edited)
THOSE FUCKING DRUMS JESUS (Edited)
In the dawn of heavy metal. (Edited)
