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 89.3/100, a mean average of 88.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.3.

The Beach Boys were never a philosophical lyrical group, all I expect from them is beautiful melodies and harmonies and Sloop John B more than delivers. I don't understand the hate by some people against this very fun song.

Good track that sounds out of place on the album imo.

How anyone could give this a rating lower than, like, 85 or 90 is baffling to me
