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)

A favourite, love that guitar. (Edited)
Has a slight earlier era Beatles sound to it which I quite like in the context of the rest of the album as in it feels like a less experimental track than many of the others on the album.
I rather like the experimentation on Revolver but this has turned out to be one of my favourite tracks on the album.
Very straightforward and I rather like John’s vocals on this track.

To be honest I like this a much more than Yellow Submarine and a little more than Good Day Sunshine... So it's not bad at all actually, my favorite part is the bridge. My rating is 88/100 rounded to 90/100. (Edited)
Most under-rated track on this record, predating the Velvet Underground sound from their debut. It's not quite on the same level with Rain or other classics on this record, but on it's own it's a pretty flawless song. (Edited)
An unfortunate sh*t stain on the most innovative album of all time, and maybe the Beatles best. If this song was swapped with the B Side song “Rain” this would be a perfect album. Oh well, just a funny song reminiscent of the Help era. (Edited)
