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 has a Bayesian average rating of 63.3/100, a mean average of 63.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 26.0.

Say what you want about this song, but it's one of the most important pieces of music in the last century.
A bit unnecessary but it shows The Beatles' eclectic range of composing music. I meant John, did the Jackson Pollock moment, but it ended up being a "pretentious" piece of collage shit. It places quite well in the album and it gives quite an attention to me.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
As a song by itself is just clearly bad, but i can't help it but to love the transition to Good Night.

I have never understood this song. I hesitate to hate it, because they are the Beatles. Maybe one day, I will get it.
You either hate it or just don't like it. A sound collage attributed to John, but with contributions by Yoko Ono and George, spending over a good eight minutes, it starts out rather cool, with a voice speaking out the words "Number 9" repeatedly. After that, it breaks down into a cacophony of sounds, which aren't connected at all. The musical equivalent of a bad LSD trip.
I love how this track has created so many comments. It is there to shock. Of course, it is chaotic and difficult to listen and but it is obvious for me that it was put there to make us feel uncomfortable.

It’s a great track. I think the reason it doesn’t quite click for people is that the white album is quite random as a whole and it’s hard to feel good about something this out there in an album that gives no notion as to being this weird.
Good thing this was towards the end of the album where it won't hurt the flow. Unlistenable crap, easily the worst thing the Beatles have ever done.
this is not music, it's just a track.
