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 has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

Never was a fan of Starr's singing - this Buck Owens cover slinks along with a waaaaaay too country feel for the rest of the album.
'Well, what about Ringo? We've got to give him something to sing, haven't we? And so the Ringo dilemma goes on. Don't you think that John could have given him, you've got to hide your love away, to sing? Or maybe Paul could have handed him, yesterday? Don't think so!. Apparently Ringo's vocal contribution to the Help! album was to be a Lennon-McCartney song called, if you've got trouble, but John and Paul were unable to finish it for some reason. So a cover it is then. Buck Owens, act naturally, was perfect for the Beatles drummer, considering he was basically the lead actor in the fab four movies, but that still doesn't take away the fact that it is pretty awful. It doesn't stand out like a sore thumb like, what goes on, would do on,rubber soul, but that's simply because there's a lot more filler here than on that excellent LP. Still, it's probably the worst track here, a silly country number, sung by Ringo in his usual deadpan way. Getting rid of this and, dizzy miss Lizzy, would have made Help! a much better album. But it was the fab four and not the fab three so Ringo had to be tolerated, but why always so bad?

Well, I´m not a fan of Country Beatles, and even in that good this song isn´t too good

A cover but the song isn't half bad. I'm telling you, I like the Beatles' country sound.
