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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 90.5/100, a mean average of 89.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.0.

AKA “Why Did It Die? Another Paul love song but for me, far much more interesting lyrically as it’s about the lose of love.
Feels similar to Yesterday and is one of the best songs on Revolver. (What feels like) A simple song performed very well. A great McCartney composition
I’m bound to be corrected on this but I understand that George and John were not on the recording.

Just nice, a charming Englishness about it.
The understated nature of the song is at the heart of its charm. That understatement, together with its position on the album (just before the louder tracks) mean it’s an often overlooked classic. A hidden gem of the highest quality even in the Beatles pantheon.
Beautiful ballad presumably about the romance breakup with Jane Asher.

One of those beautiful ballads by the Beatles.
Solid song, love the horn part :)

Amazing
Along with, here,there and everywhere, for no one, is one of the highlights of the superb Revolver album, and like that other track, one of Paul McCartney's greatest compositions. It's obvious by the time we get to the Beatles seventh album that McCartney is now finally an equal to John Lennon. Before Revolver, Paul always seemed to be in the shadow of his senior bandmate, but by 1966, it's clear that McCartney was now competing at the same level. For no one, is one of the songs which is evidence to this. It's a beautiful creation, which incidentally, Emmylou Harris recorded an absolutely beautiful version of on her classic 1975 album, Pieces of the sky. A lovely song, in my Beatles top ten.
One of the highlights of the album

Great lyrics and the solo just shows how accomplished McCartney already was as a composer at that time.
