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 mean average rating of 87.0/100. The trimmed mean (excluding outliers) is 88.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Great album!
At the time, the greatest album ever released. Hard to believe this is the same group that released Help only 4 months before. A classic collection, only spoiled by Ringo's first joint composition and the casual misogyny of the final track.
Beats every other pop/rock albums of this year for a mile.
is that a sitar?

The Beatles are great for so many reasons. One of which, on display prominently with Rubber Soul, is the interesting evolution of the band. This takes the maturing Beatles of Help! and moves them even closer to the fully mature Beatles of Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. Serious song craftsmanship but still pretty fun.

The first album where they tried something new. They hadn't really changed the instrumentation yet, which isn't a bad thing. The harmonies are genius, the percussion set a different tone, and the guitar riffs and solos are just a a perfect amount of strange. A delight to listen to.
This album might be the reason why the '80s were hooked up on that beat, y'know that bass - snare - bass bass snare -, it is everywhere on this album. With all the infinite amount of experimenting they did later on, I still think Ringo's drumming has been the most influential part of their formula. Yes, my favorite Beatle is Ringo, be very mad.
Leaps ahead of their contemporaries.
I would argue this is their "most 60s" album, with a heavy Bob Dylan influence along with the East Indian and psychedelic sounds of love and folk. The first half of the album far better than the second half, though no one can deny just how timeless and masterful "In My Life" is. The fact that this started the run of masterworks (outside of Yellow Submarine LP) gives it an extra boost.
8.6/10
The beginning of The Beatles amazing and extensive catalogue. Some songs sound dated now but it's overshadowed as a whole.
