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)

Turn on The Speakers, and crank this one up, one of the blue prints of grunge right here, and doing it a thousand times better.
A fuzzy Grant Hart rocker commenting on the disturbing imagery we see and hear through television and radio. Lots of energy and passion here, although the songwriting is a tad immature and artless: "Some guy kills somebody he don't even know." I mean, true, but the hippies in the sixties were pointing this out two decades before Grant Hart did.
