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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.4.

Morrison's urge to present his spoken-word poetry, albeit from his high school days. (Edited)
Sounds like a coke bottle being dropped into a garbage can, beating coconut shells on a tiled floor and people screaming. Never mind throwing the horses overboard this track should never have set sail.
i think this contains one of the few, if only, lyrics from his schooldays. Jim at one point had thrown everything away to release himself from it.
So strange and scary... (Edited)
