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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

The worst. Eight days a week is great, No Reply and I'm a Loser are decent, otherwise it's just bad. A big step back from A hard days night, and it contains the worst "normal" Beatles track in "Mr. Moonlight" (Not considering Rev9 and WHP)
I love The Beatles, but I hate this album, the only one good song here is Eight Days A Week, apart from this one this is soulless pop that is not entertaining for me at all.

Too Many covers, and frontloaded
I only got this album in the last couple of years although I have known all the main Beatle singles and songs for decades. It is a good album but not yet at the standard of the timeless quality of album that they will deliver in the next few years
Tras una obra maestra como A Hard Day's Night, este disco representa un paso atrás, quizás el único, en la trayectoria de los Beatles (así lo reconoció el propio George Martin). Y, sin embargo, es un álbum extraordinario.
This is not the best beatles album but it is one of my favorites. Close your eyes and pretend you are hearing a demo by an alt-country band playing songs you've never heard. You'll love it.
Starting with No Reply there's some great Beatles songs. The second half tails off considerably.
I really can’t believe how much people hate Mr.Moonlight. It’s a weird and interesting song. Not as bad as people make it out to be. What You’re Doing, I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party, and Baby’s in Black are amongst the most underrated Beatles songs in my opinion. This is a pretty lame album, but it’s The Beatles, it’s not unbearable (we’ll maybe Honey Don’t, sorry Ringo). This is definitely a lot worse than With the Beatles, I don’t know why it’s ranked higher on this website, probably because it’s “more sophisticated because it’s a year later and the lyrics are maturing”. The effort and quality of this record do not compare to With the Beatles
77.9
Este es oficialmente el album de The Beatles que tengo con menor calificación. Y qué puedo decir, lo estimo de igual manera. Mis tres favoritas son I Don't Want to Spoil the Party, No Reply y Eight Days A Week. Me lo regalaron en la Navidad de 2015 y desde entonces lo he escuchado incontables veces.

Really good through Eight Days a Week....and then it's a total nosedive into mediocre pop rock
