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)

Excellent track to end Pet Sounds.
A slower track and I think that it benefits form that. I really like this ballad.
Brian Wilson stated that "Caroline, No" was his favourite track on Pet Sounds, and I can see why. The production is fantastic.
I’m not sure about the train and dog noises at the conclusion of the song but I’ll allow Brian that one. (Edited)
Before the train comes in, this is the most beautiful and melodic song song I've ever heard. It's funny how similar the girl in the song is to one I knew in real life... (Edited)
Nice ending to a great album :) (Edited)
Worst song on a very good album (so still a good song)
Very nice song (Edited)
