Rating metrics: Help 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)

A perfect song for a wonderful album. This fits especially well considering this is the longest album of the Beatles, clocking in at over 90 minutes. It's almost saying how you've gotten through the album, and you can rest now. I know people say that Ringo's voice isn't good or enjoyable, but with the mood of the song, it makes it almost endearing and memorable, like being sung to by your father or an uncle. Really love this song.

Written by John as a lullaby for his son Julian, who was five years old at the time. The orchestral version that ended up on the White Album involved only Ringo on vocals. No other Beatle played on the song. It's one of the most beautiful endings conceivable for the monumental album the White Album is.

I really like this one. Sounds like it could be a really good Disney song.

An uncharacteristic song from John, usually the kind of twee fluff Paul would come up with. Still, it's nice enough in it's own way, a kind of White album version of a Disney song, with Ringo on vocals. It's great that by the end of the song Ringo sounds like the only one left in the studio. A sweet end to a rich confection of very different flavours in the musical chocolate box that is the White album.
