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 is a one minute throwaway from Lennon, who wrote this a year earlier in India. This song, along with Rain, are the blueprint for Brit pop, especially Oasis. Just goes to show the power and talent of John Lennon. I look forward to this song on the album and wish it was longer. John is such a tease.

A great little throwaway, mean Mr.mustard, is one of the few tracks on the medley that, given a bit more length, could have been a great song in it's own right. As it is, it's still a fantastic track and one of the most enjoyable on side two. Great fun.

Fairly underrated, probably cause it's short and part of a medley. For me it's tons of fun in just a little over one minute. Great lyrics and that jovial, uptempo rhytm. I think that Britpop-era Blur drew some inspiration from this, it would fit on "MLIR" or "Parklife".

For a 1 minute song very catchy! Though I had to think whether the background sound would annoy me after numerous repeats and I guess that cost it the 100. Amazing to listen to as a once in a while song though!
