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)

Another track on this album that clocks in under 2 minutes and is one of its most perverted as it deals with incest , inbreeding and resulting deformations , check these lyrics out:
"There was this boy who had 2 children's with his sister , who were his daughters who were his favourite lovers"
Very bent shit !

Very good simple lyrics, great guitars, but very predictable drums and strange voices
I like how the vocals trail on into a chorus.
Solid song!
