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)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 90.4/100, a mean average of 89.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

Top 3 song on this album
What a song. Radiohead are still gods even in their 50's
Outstanding song. One of ASMP's many highlights and surprisingly overlooked in the track listing after the two singles. The lyricism is terrifying and interesting, while the double-attack of guitar and piano (accompanied by that beautiful choir) is really compelling.
dark! great song
When listening to the album for the first time this was my favorite track. And it still is. What a beginning, what a build-up, what an ending.

This atmospheric haunting track has enormous sonic detail and a Karma Police esque bridge showcasing what Radiohead does best.
I'm sorry, but this is masterpiece. One of the best music pieces in entire history. To me is even better than glorified "A day in the life".
"A day in the life" is like... well... life.
But "Decks Dark" is like eternal life in heaven.

This song is a Radiohead classic. The album is nearly perfect as well, but this song..... WOW!
My favorite track of the album
