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 track is rated in the top 5% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 80.0/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.4.

“So I picked four after (briefly) skimming down my list: Yeah, I agree with Yellow Submarine and Well, Well, Well. Those are terrible songs. The first song on The Bends pretty much sux, doesn't it? I always skip it. Though I think the worst on my chart would have to be Pluto by Bjork. I can't even…”

Finally the Beatles have a song that is perfect for Ringo. After having to accommodate their drummer with a vocal contribution on most of their albums, meaning we have to endure awful moments like, act naturally, and, what goes on, on Revolver, we at last have something that Ringo's limited vocal range and character can work with. Yes, it's a children's song, yes, it's totally silly, but those are the kind of moments that would not have worked so well had Lennon or McCartney sang it. And there is not many Beatles songs you can say that about. It's a great little track, maybe the kind that only the Beatles can get away with, I mean, can you imagine the Rolling Stones singing this? No, of course not. Yellow submarine, shows the strength of the Beatles. They could do it all. (Edited)

When we were kids my brother and I absolutely LOVED this song. We heard it every time in the car, it was driving our parents mad. Today I understand why they were annoied by the song, but I will always love it for my childhood memories. (Edited)

Ringo always sings the coolest fckn song in every album. First this, then "With A Little Help Of My Friends", then "Octopus's Garden". You just can't dislike this...

The obligatory quirky Ringo song on Revolver :P I understand why some people hate it, but it is still a funny song with some nice musical elements! (Edited)
