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 87.9/100, a mean average of 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.6.

A fantastic primal counterpoint to No Surprises.

This song is made to make you feel uncomfortable and oh boy it achieves it brilliantly. The other song from them that does something similar for me is "Blow out" with the apocalyptical and creepy guitar in the outro and from other bands, "Child in time" by Deep Purple and "The End" by The Doors are another ones masterfully anxiety inducing.

Anyways, this is one my favorite Radiohead songs and the one I listened the most from this album, that probably says something about my mental health though...
