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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.5/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

I really don’t know what happened to Paul, he used to write such great, clever lyrics. Here some of his songs are very basic lyrically, with lines that use words that a 10 year old would use like: sad, mad, good, and happy. Despite repeated warnings tries very hard to emulate band on the run, and is a blatant, cringey metaphor for Trump. Also, “Fuh you” is easily the worst song any Beatle has made after Revolution 9. Aside from that, Paul is still an extremely talented multi instrumentalist and on some tracks he sounds 30 years younger. Most of the album is listenable but not much is memorable.
The album has certainly improved over repeated listens but it's still not top grade McCartney (even solo McCartney). Still it does at least sound new and fresh. Happy with you, is a nice jaunty little number, very McCartney, I don't know, is a strong track and, Do it now, is lovely and Beach boys/Beatles-esque. The other tracks are fine apart from, Come on to me, which is loud, stupid and extremely annoying, easily the worst track here. Egypt station proves that McCartney still has something new to offer and is a welcome addition to his massive catalogue without being brilliant.
VelekD. I think McCartney has been showing he's one the best songwriters of all time since the mid-sixties. I certainly wouldn't say he's 'finally' shown it in 2018.
I gotta say, it's a good album. It may have some fillers, but even them are good songs.
Wow! I'm addicted to this album big time. What has he done? Nobody in 2018 makes pop music as inventive and melodically rich as this guy. 10 listens in and I just can't get enough...
