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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 90.8/100, a mean average of 89.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.5.

One of my personal favourite tracks, along with A Day In The Life and Within You Without You (more on those later) on Sgt. Peppers and one of the most recognisable tracks as well. I particularly love the druggy feel to the track although I appreciate that the thought that this is about LSD are erroneous.
Really very well executed and performed and very trippy psychedelic / psych rock, dreamlike track.
It really is quite an incredible track when you consider when it was recorded although Lennon stated that he was unhappy with the recording. Imagine what it might have sounded like had he got the recording how he wanted it to sound

My favourite Beatles song, nothing else sounds quite like it.
Didn't understand the lyrics
LebowskiRams 05/08/2019 19:52 | #236010
The bass is super underappreciated

Música que mudou o cenário musical, super influente e, até hoje, pouco datada!
Influential, but probably not one of the best tracks on the album.

Very influential and important for sure. Psychedelia at its best with trippiy sound and lyrics. But I can't really get into it.

One of my favorite Beatles song.
Trippy and beautiful at the same time!
Based upon a painting that his son Julian had created, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, is John Lennon's Alice in wonderland for the psychedelic era. It's an absolutely wonderful invention, the lyrics are superb, beautifully written, and the brilliance and originality of the music keeps it from being a novelty record and in turn makes it an essential part of the, Sgt. Pepper, experience.
