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 88.7/100, a mean average of 87.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

there is a lot of crap on this album.
fortunately there are also some good songs.
"Back in the U.S.S.R."
"Dear Prudence"
"Blackbird"
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
"Mother Nature's Son" (Edited)
THE BOMB! (and I generally never use capital letters on the internet). (Edited)
En general, "The Beatles [White Album]" es genial, muestra el lado más rockero y experimental de la banda, hay muchas cosas interesantes aquí y me encanta el sonido del álbum; solo escucha "Back in the U.S.S.R.", "Helter Skelter", "Revolution 9" y "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" y sabrás a lo que me refiero.
El problema es que este álbum es tan largo y con tantas canciones de relleno, que varias de ellas pasaron desapercibidas para mí, a tal punto que llega a ser un poco cansado su escucha.
De cualquier forma y a pesar de sus inconsistencias, sigue siendo muy disfrutable.
English review:
Overall, "The Beatles [White Album]" is good, it shows the more rock and experimental side of the band, there are a lot of interesting things here and I love the sound of the album; just listen to "Back in the U.S.S.R.", "Helter Skelter", "Revolution 9" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and you'll know what I mean.
The problem is that this album is so long and with so many filler songs, that several of them went unnoticed by me, to the point that I just wanted it to end.
In any case and despite its inconsistencies, it is still very enjoyable. (Edited)
They are highly regarded as a fore runner in music of the time, which possibly they were, but this album isn't that good. (Edited)
Revolution of The Beatles makes Helter-Skelter in head, so came Revolution no 9 by sounded tunes, because It's beatless, so it's Beatles. (Edited)
