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)

I wish they'd do more songs like this
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.
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.

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