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)
This track is rated in the top 7% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

The Spanish translation is really interesting and too long to outline here but in summary it is about a sexual encounter on a beach with a girl called Rosa and unfortunately the male character fails to perform :(
Favourite line
“ Kissing and fucking with Surfer Rosa , oh my golly his wood is gone”

Even though it’s one of the BEA lower rated tracks off Surfer Rosa ‘ Oh My Golly ‘ is actually my favourite. The mix of English and Spanish with a crazy energy just works. When I first heard Surfer Rosa & got to this track my jaw just hit the ground & I knew then I was listening to a very very special record. Surfer Roser sits comfortably in my top 5 all time albums.

I'm Spanish and I don't know what the fuck they're trying to say here. I'm guessing that's rather the point.

This song have a good intro and riff, but I´m sure this is not one of the best
