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 albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 79.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

this is one of the greatest albums ever made.
the songs are incredibly good. except for the
last one. I didnt like that one (Edited)
This album was shortlisted at the 1966 Grammys for album of the year. The winner that year was September Of My Years by Frank Sinatra (Edited)
If there were possibly an underrated album release by The Beatles, it would probably be this one. A fun movie but a superb album containing a perfect mixture of great songs. There is perhaps one slightly weaker track which is compensated by Yesterday, still one of their best ever songs. A Hard Days Night was the better movie, this was the better soundtrack! (Edited)
Some classics on here. Help, Yesterday, Ticket To Ride, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, You're Gonna Lose That Girl. Not as good as Abbey Road, Revolver, Let It Be or The White Album for me, but I personally prefer it to Sgt Peppers and Rubber Soul. (Edited)

Right now, not a bad album, but my least favorite. It's still very good, but I'm just not quite there with it. (Edited)
while the lyrics and george have yet to mature as seen in later albums, musically this album can compete with most other beatles' albums.
Best Songs: Help, The Night Before, I Need You, Ticket to Ride, I've Just Seen a Face, and Yesterday.
Second best Beatles album from pre-Rubber Soul era. Help, Yesterday, Ticket To Ride, The Night Before are the best ones and there are few more good tracks, but there is a couple of filler ones too.
La mayoría considera Rubber Soul el disco del cambio, pero yo creo que es en este álbum donde se produce el punto de inflexión en canciones como Help, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, Yesterday... Y se muestran pioneros del country rock con su versión de Act Naturally.
This album is, for me, WAY above their other very early material, and features one of the greatest tracks of all time in Yesterday. (Edited)
