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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.4/100, a mean average of 82.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.0.

La mejor canción de Ringo se compuso con la evidente ayuda de Harrison, que hace un brillante trabajo de guitarra.
Short and sweet. Probably the best Ringo song (maybe other than With a Little Help from My Friends).

Ya'll is trippin', this is THE BEST Beatles song.
One of Ringo's better contributions to the Beatles catalog.

The lyrics are so innocent. You really have an insight in Ringos mind with this one. And George does really great on the riff.

Wow little Ringo wrote this all by himself! It's a very fun and happy song like Yellow Submarine, so you'll probably hate it if you don't have an inner child.
Great work by Ringo.

Second only to Maxwells Silver Hammer as my least favorite on Abbey Road, I actually think it’s pretty good now recalling I used to hate it years ago. Over time it has certainly grown on me
The best Ringo song by far :)
