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 darkest and most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music on this earth.

Amazing guitarwork on this one.
A tear for Eddie.
This is why Eddie Hazel was legendary in the Funk world. He was one of the greatest guitarist who ever lived, but most rock fans would not even recognize the name. "Maggot Brain" is amazing.

I never heard a song that said that much that contains barely any words.
