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 88.8/100, a mean average of 88.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.5.

I’m not entirely sure that I’ll ever come to a true conclusion, but I think this my favorite Beatles’ album opener.
Such a colorful and blissful parade of a song, but it still genuinely rocks and develops a strong groove.

O hino da psicodelia, o topo dos Beatles!
What a great start to the album, great vocals and guitar sound.

Great way to open this album. It like an invitation to this new psychedelic world of the Beatles that we started to see in Revolver.
Nice opener to this great album. The live feel, the horns vs. electric guitar and the catchy chorus makes this one of the classics!
The idea that the Beatles were no longer the Beatles but Sgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band lasted for all of one song(well, two if you count the reprise). Still, it was an enjoyable idea, although a slight novel one. Although, by becoming another band it would supposedly give the Beatles the musical freedom they craved, although in truth the band had already freed themselves from the shackles of the past with the brilliant revolver album. Anyway, it still gave them a chance to project a slightly different image for themselves on their first post touring record, which saw them quite rightly, as suggested on the album cover, at the centre of a new counter culture, a revolution even, where everything could be achieved through high art. Either way, the title track is a great way to start the record, giving the feel of a concept album that never actually was, the first combo in a show that would give way to the second act, Billy Shears. But of course, that's another song....
An excellent opener that hook me right in straight away.
Wonderful opening track!
I've heard a lot of title tracks, but this one takes the cake with pure rock 'n' roll and an interesting premise.

Great title track. It's almost... inviting. It definitely draws you in to listen to the album, and truly begins the Psychedelic era of the Beatles.
