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)

Perfect choice to open this incredible album (Edited)
Radiohead sure knows how to open an album. (Edited)

Such a perfect opening to what I see as a perfect album! I will never forget the first time I clicked the play button on this CD and was greeted with this explosive and dreamy song. This song is also arguably the best example on The Bends of the direction that the band was going to be heading towards on OK Computer. (Edited)

Amazing opening track, makes you excited for the rest of the album. (Edited)
