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)

The greatest Lennon-McCartney song not written by Lennon-McCartney. Baby it's you, is a Burt Bacharach-Hal David song, but The Beatles truly make it their own. Easily one of the strongest tracks on the album. (Edited)
Another cover of a song originally recorded by The Shirelles, this one is actually much better than ‘Boys’ thanks to a great vocal performance from John Lennon — the strain in his voice is evident as he reaches for the high notes on the line “Don’t want nobody, nobody” but it really compliments the song. And George Martin’s use of a celesta toward the end is nothing short of brilliant. I just wish the band hadn’t gone with all the “sha-la-la”s on this one.
Maybe a few more Shah lah lah lah lahs?
John was truly on fire during this time period! Transforms an otherwise ok cover into something far more special and emotional! (Edited)
The great sha-lah-lah-lah lah debate goes on.
