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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.6/100, a mean average of 83.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.1.

worse song on the album imo-.- still the arrangements in the end are great. it's just not on par with the rest of the album.

I do not understand why this is the lowest rated track on this album on this site where it is one of the best if not the best. The string section at the end is up there with the best all time radiohead moments. "All you have to do is say yes"
It is a masterpiece and incredibly under-rated, maybe that will change in time. It's as good as any song on the album except Daydreaming in my opinion which is of no consequence at all...
The strings and the way the song builds up is classic Radiohead. Also that title is insanely long but good. I think it was a saying to remember something or someone told me but I have forgot.
Strongly agree that this really captures the Kid A/Amnesiac vibe, this is almost like a gift to fans of that particular era of Radiohead!
The strings are gorgeous in the way they elevate throughout the track, the piano sounds just like the one from You And Whose Army, and this is the track on the album that resurrects Jonny's Ondes Martenot! This track has very strong links back to that time.
I'm a bit disturbed by the fact that this is one of the lesser-rated tracks on the album, though I understand that the rest of the album is probably strong enough to justify this. Doesn't stop the fact that this is my favourite track on the album though!
This song sounds like the resolution to Pyramid Song...
Very reminiscent of Thom Yorke's solo/AFP work.
The intro to this reminds me of the intro to Samurai Champloo's opening song by Nujabes called "Battlecry."

Probably my favorite from the album, please can i die?. Kid A & Amnesiac vibe, Dense and overly captivating, Masterpiece, BANG! FACEMELT!, holy shit, FUCK ME, PRO- ENVIRONMENTALIST, Amazing, The orchestration just builds to another level. Beautiful and majestic. ...wonderfully atmospheric LIKE Courtney Barnett´S Song: Kim's Caravan etc
