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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)

This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.7/100, a mean average of 87.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

I like the full length version more, but it's still my favorite Radiohead album closer.

Pyramid Song aside I find this is the other best moment on the album. The addition of traditional New Orleans style jazz instrumentation works wonderfull.
A beautiful way to close the record.

A pleasant surprise. I never expected Radiohead to close an album with a song that featured a jazz band, but I'm glad they did.

It's got a lot of Tom Waits weirder albums in this song.

This feels like another Radiohead, with more classic instruments, it feels even more unique, surprise, just the best song to close
