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 is a way underrated Beatles song. It has just as much energy as "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"; but when you think of it as being about oral sex, it adds a whole other dimension to it. Classic. (Edited)
It's funny listening to John describe his original version of this song. It sounded like a weak Roy Orbison track. This up-tempo revision was a revelation, though, and perhaps an underappreciated moment in Beatles (and pop music) mythology. (Edited)
A brilliant song and the Beatles second single, which was a big improvement on, love me do. Full of energy and insanely catchy makes please please me one the bands most exciting singles. Great track. (Edited)
The most addictive song on their first album. Catchy and infectious! I have to praise John´s vocals again, they add so much personality to the track, especially when he goes a little husky, intentionally! (Edited)

One of their best early tracks. You can't show more energy and fun in less than 2 minutes. Killer song. (Edited)
