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)

Personally I think this track sounds more like early Verve than Radiohead.
Does it sound like Radiohead? Yes.
But is it bad? Not at all.
I like it, but the Radiohead similarities are very apparent here. Not that that's a terrible thing though, many bands have obvious inspiration from other bands.
I usually dislike the Radiohead-Coldplay comperison but they sound just like them here.
