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)

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. (Edited)
I love the atmosphere in this, but it takes some getting used to. (Edited)

Gentle opening and a climactic ending... Radiohead. (Edited)
