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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.6/100, a mean average of 82.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

I really don't want to admit this, but this sounds way too similar to "Some Might Say" by Oasis. Both songs are outstanding, though. One of the more accessible Radiohead songs. Outstanding instrumentation as usual. It's my least favorite on the album, but every other song is a 100 for me.

Not up there with the best on the album for me, but still a solid track :)

One of my least favourite tracks on The Bends, and yet still a solid 90%.

Definitely the most underrated track on this album. You hardly find Radiohead with this much energy, in my opinion.
