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 86.9/100, a mean average of 86.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.7.

For year's the 'beep beep' was used as a jingle for traffic news, regardless it's a great track and opener to a wonderful album.

The song that puts the soul into the album title. Possibly inspired by the likes of Otis Redding, drive my car, is a punchy start to the Beatles sixth album. It's a lot of fun, but it has a bit of a lightweight feel to it, although it's obviously not meant to be taken too seriously. Still, it's a solid start to the record, if nothing else. Beep-beep-beep-beep yeah!
