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 90.2/100, a mean average of 89.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

My favourite track by The Beatles
Majestic harmonies
It's ironic that this song was one of their first not to be about love, because it still hits very close to home for me. When you get sad, have anxiety and feel directionless, this song is always here for you.
Beautiful track :)
A great song. Like a lot of John Lennon songs at this point there is a slight sprinkling of autobiography here. He apparently felt like a 'nowhere man' at this time, crying out, as he alludes to in the song, for a helping hand. Either way, it's an extremely catchy track with some nice guitar work from George Harrison. Great song.

A perfect track. The harmonies, the embryo psychedelic touch and that guitar solo.

This is the most uplifting song. That crystal clear guitar solo. Oh my god.
One of the best Beatles tracks. John said was the only Beatles song that turned out exactly as he originally envisioned it.
More Beatles fun for the fans!

I actually think this is one of John's weaker later tracks. It's a great recording, but just not the best song.
