Rating metrics: Help 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 91.9/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

What does it mean for an album to be the greatest of all time? Popularity? Music influence? Cultural impact? Quality (to the extent that it exists in any objective sense)?

On album lists published elsewhere, you're certain to see a more iconic album in the #1 spot, yet those same lists will place OK Computer criminally low (if it shows up at all). That it takes the top spot here at least helps to balance out the injustice of it so seldom hitting the top ten elsewhere.

It happens to be my own personal favorite of all time.

From the first hearing on you can recognize that there is something special with this album. But the best ever? Never.

OK Computer isn't just an album; it's an experience. It's a masterpiece that somehow feels more relevant today than it did almost 30 years ago. It's the soundtrack to the paranoia and disorientation we felt with the arrival of the digital age.
The album is a monumental sonic journey, with guitars twisting into beautiful melodies, arrangements that envelop you in a dreamlike atmosphere, and Thom Yorke at the height of his lyricism, exploring loneliness and despair in a world of technological advancement. From the epic and multifaceted "Paranoid Android" to the hypnotic melancholy of "Karma Police," the album captures that sense of modern alienation in a way few works have managed. It's a classic that will never cease to be.

TRUE Classic. Number 1# of all time? I can see it. This album is layered and complicated. I still do not have it all figured out. (Obviously all art is subjective.) I'd give a strong 9.3/10.
