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 88.6/100, a mean average of 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

Side two (my favourite side) starts with some fairground noise and some chap encouraging punters to have a go to win a prize. Then silence for a brief moment, followed by the most charming and melodic piano intro imaginable. Then the other instruments come in with horns and the listening is washed over with utter musical joy that could make the hairs on your arms stand up with full attention. The song is utterly gorgeous and one of the band's finest efforts from the decade. If the album had more songs like this and had of included 'We Love You' and 'Dandelion' then this would have given 'Sgt Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band' a run for the money. That's too many 'ifs' though. This song is a fanfare and unusually brilliant.
Without doubt the best song on the album. It's a wonderful track, full of colour and beauty and arguably the best Stones song from the psychedelic era(although personally i'd go for, we love you, which should have been on this album). Backing vocals from Lennon and McCartney help to make this a brilliant start to the second side.
