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 82.8/100, a mean average of 82.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

Nope, not what this last guy said. Nice little pretty mccartney song. (Edited)
I'll follow the sun was an old song that had been around for a few years that Paul McCartney resurrected for the Beatles for sale album. It's a decent song, though nothing special, that has a lovely dark melancholy feel to it, perfect for the Beatles for sale album cover. A slight song then, but I really like it. (Edited)
Not considered good enough for earlier albums this song was ressurected because they didn't have sufficient material to fill this one. At 1 minute 50 secs its not to onerous to listen to and on a good day its quite a pleasant little ditty.

The effort may have been there, but I literally started thinking of some other stuff while listening to this. Right over my head. And hopefully over everybody else's. (Edited)
