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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.0/100, a mean average of 66.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

I'd like to speak up in favour of George Martin's instrumental film score, which people often dismiss when talking about this album. Admittedly I'm biased by nostalgia, since the Yellow Submarine movie was my very first introduction to The Beatles as a child, and so many of those cues are burned into my memory.
But even taking off the rose-tinted specs, I think that the score really is good; at least as worthy of listening to separate from the film as any other instrumental film score album. It features lots of nice pastiches and references to classical music, and the opening of "Yellow Submarine In Pepperland" is wonderfully triumphant. (Edited)
Una parte para los Beatles, con solo 4 temas nuevos, y otra para George Martin en un disco de compromiso, pero que no deja de tener su encanto.
Weakest Beatles release, hands down. The film score second half was the worst stuff ever included in anything Beatles.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
The A side is absolutely fantastic, if the song haven't been released before and they worked in a proper B side, this could be a high tier Beatles album, Hey Bulldog, It's All Too Much and Only A Nothern Song are amazing !!!
