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 83.0/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.8.

You know I just love this song - the bass is really good
A throwaway. But still a good listen. The bass and that weird flute /trumpet mellotron effect are the highlights.
Very good song
Starts out promisingly, but loses its way on the shouty chorus. Also don't like that weird squeaky instrument.

Honestly might be my favorite Beatles song, The lyrics the music, everything works together, I absolutely love it.
Probably the weakest of the Magical mystery tour album tracks, at least the second side anyway. The B-side to the All you need is love single, it's John Lennon's 'tribute' to all the 'beautiful people'. It's not bad, just a bit forgetful and probably not in anyone's Beatles top ten.
A fun song overall with some nice tidbits, still the only place I've heard a clavioline. These guys were always developing new and interesting sounds!

great one
I've officially decided that the second half of the album is the best.
