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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.2/100, a mean average of 81.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.0.

George shows he has potential. Good track.
This song was written by John Lennon in the apartment that Brian Epstein had given him, a secret second address that Epstein had kept in Liverpool for his sexual liaisons separate from his home life. It’s an enjoyable song, with a really catchy guitar riff and a satisfying transition to the bridge. George Harrison also elevates the track with his vocal delivery, but I’m not convinced that it stands above some of the other tracks on the back side of this album.
I was born in the 90s but somehow this song reminds me of the pure joyous innocence of the 60s, a time I've never known. Sure it sounds dated as hell but I love it.

Underrated and very pretty song
An extremely lightweight song, one that John Lennon wasn't too enthusiastic about either. George Harrison gives it a good go on vocals, but in truth, neither he or anyone can really lift this song above the mediocre. It's just too twee. Total filler.
This one suprised me.

I love how it explodes after the intro. Nice melody.
I'm often surprised by how many non-Beatles fans are familiar with this song, I guess it gets airplay on Oldies stations. I've always loved this particular track, myself, though it does sound more like a pre-rock song.
It's not a great addition.
