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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 90.3/100, a mean average of 89.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

Anthemic.
LOVE the reprise to You Never Give Me Your Money, but I'm not the most keen on the 'Carry That Weight' bit. It's still very good.

Fantastic song. Keeps the medley going at the perfect pace and sets it up perfectly for The End.

Love the reprise of You Never Give Me Your Money. Just amazing music.
My favorite Abbey Road track, just wish it was longer!
The medley continues, informing the Beatles themselves that they will have to carry this weight with them for the rest of their lives. They know this is the end, but they of course know that they will forever be bound together by these timeless songs. A beautiful middle part to the final medley.

Effortless transition from it's counterpart, Carry That Weight is a great track.

George Martin said it's like a football chant. Love it.
'You Never Give Me Your Money' on the trumpets gives me chills every time.
