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 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.8/100, a mean average of 83.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.9.

According to McCartney, this was influenced by The Lovin’ Spoonfuls Daydream. There are thoughts that it might also have been influenced by The Kinks, Sunny Afternoon.

I find it a very pleasant listen. Not particularly ground breaking but a decent tune.

Ugh this song is a nuisance. It’s way too trite and disrupts the mood of the album.

Feelgood song this :D Not the best on the album, but fits in all the same! The intro might be the best part in my opinion :)

A good song, but to be honest, it's one of the more throwaway numbers from the Revolver album. It's a very good song, brilliantly delivered, but it's certainly not one of the album's essential tracks. Still perfect though.

I woke up every day to this song on my alarm clock for years in HS and college. It put me in great spirits to start the day. It was a much better song to wake up to than beep beep beep beep. The optimism and upbeat tempo in this song puts a smile on my face every time.
