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 85.1/100, a mean average of 83.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

Great intro riff,

The fact that this was not replaced with Man Of War is truly the only thing keeping this from being a literal perfect album. I still don't think a perfect album exists, but if OK computer had just simply put Man of war in place of this, it would be the absolute perfect symmetry: it is the perfect compliment track to Subterranean Homesick Alien and would have been in the perfect place just right after Fitter Happier. Tell me I'm wrong.
Best song on the album no question.

Don't lie to yourselves, this is the worst track on the record. Fail song.

I think this fits perfectly. It's reminiscent of Paranoid Android
Literally no clue why people don't like this one as much. It's insane. It's perfect on the album. The guitar is so good. My favorite's at the end where you can here the oooooo sound along with each note.
Pretty average track, but it gets extra points for the intro riff.

Right now, rated the worst actual music track on the album. I maybe agree, but it's still fantastic.
I was listening to OK Computer for quite a while and didn't pay enough attention to those genius guitar lines, so over the time it grew to be now one of my favourite songs on the album along with Lucky and The Tourist. The final solo section of Jonny shreds my brain.
