Rating metrics: Help 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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

This album blends the youthful exuberance of the first album with some degree of growing sophistication especially in some of their self penned tracks. There's Motown, pop, rock 'n' roll and some crooning for the moms and dads of the time. Although I have scored this the same as the first album I think the first is marginally better because of the impact it had on the pop world at the time. However this album contains the best song from the two albums - 'All My Loving'

As far as my lifelong affair with Pop Music goes, All my Loving was the song that got me started and the ALL MY LOVING was the first record in my childhood collection.

Fairly strong album (from the beatles), some obvious fillers. I think it could've contained the singles 'she loves you' and 'I want to hold your hand' if the beatles had put singles on albums, which would have elevated it dramatically

Wish there were fewer covers, but the performances are so strong and their originals are so tight and timeless that it's still a worthy successor to PPM.

I think the first 4 tracks make for one of the strongest sequence of tracks in The Beatles catalogue but the rest of the material does not seem to hold up.

It Wont Be Long sounds so brilliant. The atmosphere is so characteristic of its time but that is not something to be criticized. I quite prefer it over some of the stuff on Sgt. Peppers.

The second album by The Beatles, and a step down from PPM. All my loving is a masterpiece, unfortunately the only one on this album, but it's still Beatles, so not much filler going on here. It wont be long and Money are also good i think. 12/13 for me

This is an improvement in comparison to their first album, but still there are great songs here (All My Loving, It Won't Be Long, Till There Was You) and also awful ones (Little Child).
