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 67.2/100, a mean average of 66.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Smoke up & listen....it's for you
Wings' flighty debut has nice songs and moments, but it just feels rushed. Missing lyrics, semi-complete songs, musical ideas, but rarely a refined, complete story.
Wings and Sir Paul fans should check it out; for others, later Wings releases will offer more satisfaction.
Not a bad album at all. The first two tracks, Mumbo (with made up ab libbed lyrics), and, Bip bop, are very funny. The rest is fine especially, Dear friend, which is very good. I love these early quirky McCartney albums and although it's not quite up to the standard of, McCartney, or, Ram, Wild life is still decent enough and probably works better now than it did in 1971.

A couple of tracks that stand out for me; Wild Life & Dear Friend. Still like it better than Back to the Egg which is at the bottom of the list for Wings albums.
The weakest album in the McCartney catalogue
Dear friend is the highlight.
A rather forgettable album IMO.

Didn't know this album existed until I found it on here. I was haunting record shops from 1973 onwards but seems it had already disappeared from the shelves by then.

Not all that bad an album it has a fresh sound about it as if was recorded in one take. Love Is Strange, Bip Bop & Dear Friend are the standouts.

McCartney off form. Still some great moments. Worth a listen.
