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 87.1/100, a mean average of 85.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

I kind of feel this would be the type of track that would play if a four-minute warning flashed on the TV screen because of how apocalyptic it sounds and the effects used on Thom's vocals
Es una re garcha esta cancion comparado con el album. Parece una cancion del Minecraft

I'm confused.
I love the atmosphere in this, but it takes some getting used to.
Chill song with a nice beat to it :)

Confused me at first, but it grew on me. Great track

Un inicio cautivante con una melodia excepcional, una voz tetrica que te atrapa completamente a lo largo de la canción
Though it's a bit of a comedown after the manic intensity of Everything In Its Right Place, Kid A juxtaposes an innocuous lullaby against disturbing lyrics for a truly chilling effect.
i don't know why but the beginning always kind of tears me apart. i can see lights through those gentle notes. It reminds me of the video for hyperballad by björk
Kid A overlooks it's slight flaws with beautiful production and a sophisticated sound, not to mention, perfectly polished production.
