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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

The worst of the albums Capitol put out. Made up of some of the lesser tracks off of Beatles for Sale and Help! While we do have some very good material from the band here, like "Eight Days a Week" and "Every Little Thing", the tracklist order kills it. Just horribly sequenced. The bonus of having the Larry Williams covers before the UK just doesn't cut it.
"Beatles VI" from June 1965 was the sixth Capitol Beatles album; excluding the ”The Beatles Story” which was a kind of biography. Six songs were originally released on the European "Beatles for Sale"; The other songs from this album had Capitol released on the predecessor "Beatles 65". Three songs are taken from the at that point still unreleased "Help" album, while the unconventional ballad "Yes it is" was the B-side for "Ticket to Ride". The last song "Bad Boy" also comes from Help sessions, during which the group recorded another Larry Williams cover song, "Dizzy Miss Lizzy". Like all Beatles albums, "Beatles VI" is also characterized by the group's superior musicality spiced with energy and creativity.
Vocally Lennon once again is on top. His two cover songs "Bad Boy" and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy". Are delivered with an energetic force that surely must surprise people who know him best from his solo era and songs like "Imagine" and "Woman". McCartney's handling of "Kansas City" is almost as convincing. The last cover song is Buddy Holly's "Words of Love", performed beautifully sounding almost like a Beatles song. "Eight Days a Week" is the album's only true hitsong with great vocal collaboration between Lennon and McCartney.
Two relatively lesser-known Beatles songs are "Ever Little Thing" and "What You're Doing" - both among my personal favorites from this period. The two ”new” "Help" songs "Tell Me What You See" and "You Like Me Too Much" are on the ”Help” album hardly among those you would bring forward first on that amazing album, but here at "Beatles VI" they are better off and, to a lesser extent, stand in the shadow of other, and better songs. Always fun listening to Beatles songs in new contexts. And as a European, it's especially nice to hear "Bad Boy" and "Yes it is" as album tracks.
Also interesting that the American audience was given the opportunity to hear and buy the songs of Beatles that were not yet released in Europe.
