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 albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

A bit of a hodge podge, but enjoyable. Two absolute stunners in Maybe I'm Amazed and Junk, and then some solid tracks and some forgettable tracks. A somewhat inauspicious solo debut for McCartney, but in its way that's pretty radical considering what people must have expected from a Beatle. Definitely charming!

Este álbum tiene alguna de las mejores canciones de McCartney (Maybe I'm Amazed, Every Night...) junto a momentos insoportables (Kreen-Akrore).

Paul McCartney's solo debut is a true solo effort. He performs all the instrumentation himself and took complete control over his music after the Beatles had obviously ended just before its release. This album is a grower. Maybe I'm Amazed is one of McCartney's best solo songs if not the best. I do feel like the album is a bit uneven, but I find that adds to its charm somehow. Critical opinion on this one has strengthened over the years.

Grande estréia de McCartney. Ecos experimentalistas e psicodélicos belíssimos, apesar da produção crua.

Overall: 8.5

Top Tracks: "That Would Be Something" "Every Night", "Man We Was Lonely"

Too bare for me personally, perhaps a poor idea to release in the immediate aftermath of the break-up of the greatest band in history. The romantic songs are charming, but I think the album could have benefited with more time and a larger band.

This was better than my expectations. I like the romantic songs, the experimental folk feeling and the psychedelic jams
