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)

This track is rated in the top 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.9/100, a mean average of 81.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.7.

One of, if not, my favourite track on the album. I generally preferred Harrison to Lennon or McCartney and this is a great track. This might possibly be the most quintessentially Harrison track whilst he was with the Beatles

Obviously, a departure from the staple Beatles sound and, for me, all the better for that. "The most timeless piece of dronal psychedelia ever recorded” as one critic stated.

It’s such a beautiful track and very calming

This is one of the highlights on Sgt. Peppers (Edited)

I really like this track and it's one of the best on Sgt. Pepper's.

George Harrison was always my favourite Beatle and this is basically a George Harrison song which, I think I'm right on saying doesn't have any other Beatle playing on it. Great track (Edited)

Stephen Stills mando grabar en piedra para su jardín la letra de esta canción.

It’s in the middle of the album for a reason. A highly underrated song for obvious reasons. It’s It’s incredible George wrote such a complex song in the Indian style when he had probably only written 8 songs before this. It is a major accomplishment
