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 22% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.2.

Another enjoyable number with nice harmonies!
One of the better tracks on side 2.
There’s a lot of playing to their strengths here: Ringo’s drumming is particularly strong, the dual lead is McCartney singing high with Lennon almost just talking along with him until he breaks out & takes over the lead & Paul falls back into the harmony with George, and the harmonica adds a sense of wistfulness that helps this track to stand out among the others on this album. This one is a real gem that deserves more attention.
This song changed my view on the Beatles, because it was the first early Beatles song I ever heard that wasn't from the 1 album, which I assumed were all sub-par and worthless. I was astonished at how melodic /all/ their songs were, not just the hits. I couldn't stop playing this song for days!
One of the best of the Lennon-McCartney songs on Please please me. Interesting structure and delivery help to make it a very enjoyable two minutes.

Tragically overlooked. One of the best early songs by Fab Four.
After re listening to the Beatles discography this was one of my favorites from their early stuff.
One of the best tracks on the album.
Finally, something a little more interesting.
