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 10% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.0/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

Desconcertante, una rara avis en el corpus beatleiano, muy, muy curiosa.

Maybe the best anti-establishment song George ever wrote, if it weren't for "Taxman". Actually, George started to write the tracks around the same time, but "Piggies" was left unfinished. Two years later he discovered the manuscript in the attic of his parents' Liverpool house and decided to finish and record it for the upcoming White Album.

Surprisingly a personal favourite on the album, it's lush, creepy, sarcastic, and instrumentally awesome especially the piano/harpsichord and strings

Not just bad in concept, but lyrically pretentious and annoying throughout.

After While my guitar gently weeps, piggies, is George Harrison's next best contribution to the White album. It's an excellent cut, completely bonkers really, and unfortunately one of those songs on the album which Charles Manson completely misinterpreted for his own twisted needs. Anyway, it's a brilliant song, totally underrated.
