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 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

To me by far their worst album. Songwriting wasn't as sharp and covers weren't as good. Three good songs (It' Won't Be Long, All I've Got To Do, and All My Loving), but rest are just fillers and b-sides.

This is certainly the most underrated Beatles album on the site. I liked it as much, if not more, than their debut. Both albums were basically straight recordings of their early live act, which had been honed to incredible precision during the Hamburg/Cavern Club days. This is also my favorite collection of covers.

Again, and underappreciated album, mostly because it is sandwiched between two better albums (Please Please Me and A Hardy Day's Night), but let's not forget the great moments on this record, like "It Won't Be Long," "Roll Over Beethoven," and "You Really Got A Hold On Me." (Edited)

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 (Edited)

This is a pretty underrated album by the Beatles. It doesn't quite have the raw magic that Please Please Me had, but it's a solid lineup of early Beatles tunes and some of their best covers (in my opinion). (Edited)
