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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.4/100, a mean average of 82.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

I still believe this is one of the most (if not the most) underrated Beatles' song. George's inner peace and devotion to his god is transmitted in such a beautiful way.
The spiritual George song on the White Album. He started to write it during the Beatles' stay in India. Donovan, who stayed with the Maharishi at the same time as the Beatles, recalled George playing both the guitar and the sitar at the ashram, trying to develop the finest spiritual sound.
One of Harrison's finest numbers. He really started to grow as a songwriter on this album.
I agree with most comments here. I was only thinking: they generally sound a bit too serious. It sounds a bit like composing the songs was felt like an obligation.
I love how every track on this albums has a comment saying that it's the most underrated Beatles track. I'll vote for this one.

The most underrated Beatles song. Definitely their most depressing sounding song so that's probably why it doesn't get rated so highly but I love sad sounding stuff haha.
Easily one of the most underrated Beatles song of all time. Beautiful, genuine lyrics and meaning, with a haunting outro. The "so many tears" climax at the end is incredible. Not enough Beatles fans know/appreciate this song enough
Beautiful track!

I can't believe it's possible, but here is a Beatles song that is underrated. Beautiful.
Harrison wrote this inspired in Dylan's "Sad eyed lady of the lowlands" and he certainly caught that comfy dreamy feel.
The instrumentation is superb. It took me years but now I aknowledge it as one of the best tracks of the album.
