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 albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 89.2/100, a mean average of 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 2001. The winner was Two Against nature by Steely Dan
There is a short section at the end of "Idioteque", which was unlistenable. The rest of the album-around 45 minutes-is superb. I liked "O.K.Computer", the much admired 1997 work, but I liked this more. The musicianship is supreme and the songs, without exception, are magically but composed and performed. When I come to choose my 50 favourite albums of all time, it will be very difficult to decide what to select and what to dismiss but this album will definitely be there. An absolute must in any decent record collection. I would give it a 4,80, as perfection is what we aim for, rather than what we achieve. A very very fine album.
incredible
Even speaking as a major Radiohead fan, I think Kid A is an easy contender for one of the most overrated albums of all time. My humble opinions: The Bends is still their masterpiece, while The King of Limbs and In Rainbows are probably the albums that strike the band's most exquisite balance between satisfying songcraft and noisy experimentation. Kid A is their version of The Emperor's New Clothes. It's been lauded with every accolade imaginable (the Pitchfork review is legendary for its raving, drooling hyperbole) but at the end of the day, it's weird for the sake of weird, only rarely stirring, and sometimes even boring.
Radiohead has guitar player named Greenwood and he's bored. When he got bored, he tried to bore everything, and he failed.
This sounds like it was written by an alien
Kid A explores experimental and electronic music, creating an atmosphere that is both haunting and captivating.

A wonderfully strange album. At times, this album feels really scaled back, and at times it feels huge. Much different from OK Computer, and I think not as magnificent, but still a fascinating and unique album to listen to.
