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)

Very powerful chorus, nearly stereotypically doomy helped much by the lyrics!
One of the most dreaiest, most bleak tracks musically and lyrically.
This reminds me of what Bauhaus were to become. Bleak yes but still a good and interesting song
heavier than disorder, not as good but definetely one of the better songs of Unknown Pleasures
