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 has a Bayesian average rating of 65.8/100, a mean average of 65.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 29.9.

This "album" should really be removed from the website. Every single song is already present in another album, and there are consequently duplicate songs in the top-rated tracks list. In my opinion, every greatest hits album should be removed from this site, especially those with no new songs and especially for a band that creates albums with songs that are meant to be listened to in the context of each other. It also doesn't help that Radiohead had nothing to do with the creation of this "album".
Everything is not in it's right place...

'Best off' Radiohead should not be on a Best Albums list.
Their songs are much better in the context of their albums.
Their albums are meant to be listened as a whole.
You guys are missing the point. Best of's aren't made for fans with all the albums. Best of's are made for people that don't have the albums but want to know what all the hype is about. People that want to check out a single disc to see if they like it before they spring for a whole discography. From that standpoint, this is a very effective compilation. It was the first Radiohead album I owned. After I warmed up to it I started getting the others and now have them all. (Edited)

The Best Of was not necessary. Each song just belongs to its own Album.
