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 91.1/100, a mean average of 90.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.3.

Has to be my favourite Beatles track.
Good track, didn't like it at first, but after listening to Dylan's discography it has grown on me.
still don't think it's one of their best.

I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but this has always been my least favourite track on the whole album. Maybe becaus I am just not into folk. (Edited)
Truly a great song :)
