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)

After all the emotional curveballs Kid A throws at you, Radiohead end the album with Motion Picture Soundtrack. I feel the song's a bit anticlimactic as a closer only because there isn't a big buildup to the string and harp shower on the second verse, and it barely clocks in at 3 minutes (I feel like the additional verse would've done some good to it); but despite this, Motion Picture Soundtrack ends the album on a cinematic note, offering some poignant ruminations on the nature of life and the disappointment of reality, with one of the greatest album sendoffs of all time - "I will see you in the next life".

Christ on a bike this hurts. Yorke's always been good at turning the most simple lines into heart-breaking, emotion filled wrecking balls but "I think you're crazy" tops the lot. (Edited)

Radiohead are masters of condensing intense emotion into a single line. "I think you're crazy, maybe..."
Another good example is True Love Waits. (Edited)
One of the most beautiful, melancholic songs ever written. I absolutely love this song. (Edited)
