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)

I really like the harmonies on this and the discordant nature of parts of the song. I guess I just find George more interesting than the other members of the band.

Written, I understand, after an LSD “experiment”. He was of course, also getting into Indian music and instruments.

A really lovely track which is far too short. You can image this going on far longer in the studio / at rehearsals.

Such an underrated song, one of the most under-appreciated songs in the Beatles’ discography. This is probably my favorite George song on Revolver. (Edited)
