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)

This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 93.2/100, a mean average of 91.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.9.

A good song but quite janky and awkward in places, with faux-emotional lyrics and a technically impressive but very out of place harpsichord solo

Amazing song. Really reaches out to any mood. One of The Beatles best. Maybe even one of the best songs of all time.

My favorite Beatles song without a doubt. Beautiful music, moving lyrics, and amazing harmonies easily make this the centerpiece of their catalog.

Hmm, I like this song, it is pretty good, but it's definitely not my personal favourite on the album. Just a good melody and some nice lyrics like many on the album.

John Lennon's masterpiece and probably Rubber soul's best track. It's a beautiful song and another step in the right direction towards making more interesting and mature music. Nice solo from George Martin, and a great vocal and lyrics all add up to, in my life, arguably being the best Beatles song up to this point.
