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 88.2/100, a mean average of 87.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.5.

I can’t put my finger on it, but I really love this track. Written by John Lennon, my second favourite composer in the band after George, my understanding that this was written shortly after or maybe even during, an acid trip. There’s a slight Indian music feel to this song, no doubt influenced by Harrison, which I like a lot.
It’s also my understanding that Paul did not appear on the final recording because of a bust up with the rest of the band.
I’m sure I’ve seen someone on BEA refer to it as an example of early acid rock. I get that

I love She Said, She Said so much. It’s one of the most perfect Revolver sounding tracks on Revolver.
The main melody is psychedelic and moving, the chorus offers a great example of Lennon not caring about time signatures and the band finding a creative way to work around that.
One of the best songs on the loaded Revolver album.
One of the best songs of this album is placed behind "Yellow Submarine". Makes the track even better!
The great thing about this album is you can really tell which of the Beatles really liked LSD and which didn't so much. All of Lennon songs are psychedelic gems.
This one no exception
Great song, even though I find it extremely difficult to explain why it affects me so much. Is it the disturbing lyrics or the mysterious sounding melody lines? Great atmosphere, no doubt.

Nice trippy song with interesting metre shifts. You can see how this came out of an LSD-fueled party!
Inspired by an incident at a party in Los Angeles, while both high on LSD, movie star Peter Fonda kept telling John Lennon that he knew what it was like to be dead. Although appalled at the time, Lennon kept it tucked away in his mind, and used it in the lyrics to this song, which is the Beatles at their acid rock best. It has a real energy and a fizz about it and a lovely middle eight, and although it's not as great as some of Lennon's other songs on Revolver, such as, I'm only sleeping, and, tomorrow never knows, it's still an excellent track and an essential part of the Revolver experience.

Space-dementia, you don't. :) Dig out a bit and find out where John Lennon heard that phrase.

I love it. "She said, 'I know what it's like to be dead'". How do you think of that?
