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 decent track with mild psychedelic undertones.
It’s quite catchy without being one of my favourite tracks on the album. It very decent but not outstanding
I'm really not a big fan of the "quirky" Beatles tracks and this, for me, falls into that category (Edited)

It's silly and stupid don't care still love it.
Great song, nice melody and sweet kazoo riffs. (Edited)
Such a fun, cheesy, feel good song that is melodically fantastic
Not the strongest in terms of songwriting/melody, but it is a good bit of fun with some odd sounds like the kazoos and the piano solo in the middle. The vocal harmonies are impeccable as always though.
