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 90.4/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.7.

So simple and so good and really just sets the tone for the end of the album, especially if your listening to this at night time in the car. And that guitar riff too! (Edited)

I really like this song. I love all the guitars layered on top of each other, I love the riff during the chorus, and I freaking love the solo. (Edited)

Out of all the tracks from OK Computer, this was the one that failed to stick with me. I don't understand why so many people call this one of the key tracks from the album. Especially coming after No Surprises, this track does nothing more for me than take up space on the album.
I'm actually quite saddened by the fact that I don't see the beauty in the song. What is it that made Thom Yorke cry listening to it for the first time? If someone can explain it to me, I'm all ears. (Edited)

Yorke's car crash really affected him, it seems. Beautiful. (Edited)
Another perfect Radiohead song... The riffs, the drums, the singing, the lyrics! Nothing this powerful in 97!
