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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.4/100, a mean average of 81.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.1.

McCartney's lyrics are moody and reflective. Melodically complex with interesting use of chords and key switching. A degree of sophistication being shown here absent from their first 2 albums.
Another excellent Paul McCartney contribution to A hard day's night. John Lennon basically wrote ten of the thirteen songs on the album to Paul's three, but it's quality over quantity as far as i'm concerned, and this is another brilliant track. Great major/minor chord shifts and a strong middle eight help make this one of the best of McCartney's early songs.

An underrated song by McCartney. I love the rhytm guitar too.

This one was somewhat enjoyable. The guitar work is okay.
