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)

George Harrison's best song up to this point. Not quite sure what the songs about but it's a fine track with some lovely fuzz bass from Paul McCartney. Not as great as, Michelle, the word, or, in my life, but still a very good track and it shows that Harrison was getting closer to the quality of Lennon-McCartney's songs. (Edited)

One of the most underrated Beatles songs. Love Paul's fuzzy bass. (Edited)

This is quite good. I like the funky sound of the distortion. (Edited)
