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)

A punchy opener with call and response vocals. Full of urgent energy and classic early Lennon optimism. A song with a broader audience in mind then their younger teenage girl fan base. As good as if not better than anything they did on their first album.
One of the best opening tracks on any Beatles album. It's a brilliant song, completely infectious and delivered with passion and urgency, it has a real energy about it. A blistering start to a thoroughly enjoyable album.

Should have been a single. Catchy as hell, IMHO better than "She Loves You".
