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 88.6/100, a mean average of 87.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

Such a good tune. Definitely in my top 10 greatest Radiohead tracks of all time...
Always struggled to get through this one, but the ending is amazing.
This is one of their first songs that I liked. Although it's a rebellion against the success of creep, it uses the quiet loud quiet dynamic typically found in grunge extremely well... The guitar and vocals here are some of the best in their catalog. Intense as hell. Love every second of this one, I still think it's one of the best off the Bends.
Another solid track on this great album :)
A song about "Creep". :)
I've never attended a Radiohead concert, but I'm willing to bet that this would be one of the show's highlights.
Awesome song. Love the riff and the transition from the main part to the heavy riff is dope.
Great track! However, there's an interesting acoustic Thom and Jonny did that I personally prefer more than the one on The Bends. Still a great track

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
