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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.5/100, a mean average of 84.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

Not gonna lie, kinda shocked that this is currently one of the lowest rated songs from The Bends. I find it to be one of the best songs on the album.
A real beaut - preferred this to their heavy stuff from the Bends, seems to put me in the minority?
Beautiful track!
I used to ignore this song, but it's really grown on me over the years.
This song is lovely and beautiful! You could see the potential in Radiohead's beauty with this and the whole album really.
