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 61.7/100, a mean average of 60.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

This isn't a bad album, underrated maybe ?, as previously mentioned, no bad tracks on here although nothing that stands out either.

As with all Paul McCartney albums, there are some good songs. Sadly this album has less than normal. It’s not a complete stinker, but it’s let down by the 80’s production and erratic song choices. He was clearly searching for a new sound and new direction, but this album just took him down a blind alley.

His worst studio album from the period 1970-95 there is nothing much to rave about on this album.
An underrated, albeit very dated, album by Paul. Stranglehold, Good Times Coming, and Press are some of my favorite Macca tunes ever.
