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 68.6/100, a mean average of 66.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Solid follow-up to Tug of War. Bit more uneven, but more playful and quirky, which is a side of Paul that I like. The first side is really fantastic. I especially like tracks 4 and 5 - So Bad, especially, is a hidden gem. Have a weakness for a Macca falsetto though: I also loved Girlfriend on London Town. Second half dips in quality a fair bit, but the album ends strongly with Through Our Love. The production hasn't aged as well as Tug of War, but this is still a really fun album just before what is notoriously McCartney's fallow period.
These are the leftovers of Tug of war.
The first half is as good -or better IMHO- as TOW. Then on the second half the album falls apart.
Still a listeneable album if you like 80s pop.
My first McCartney album, and so far only one (apart from a hits compilation). On my Christmas list back in '83, and gratefully received! I can only comment on this as an individual record as I've not got any others to compare it too. I just remember loving the title track and it's accompanying video, and didn't feel the album let it down. Listening again now (33 years later!)...I realise why I liked it then, it's a lovely listen, nothing groundbreaking, admittedly....I'll have to get hold of his higher rated albums if this is the benchmark that I work from.

Not that bad... SOmehow this is overshadowed by Tug of War - it's almost as good.
A disappointing follow up to, tug of war. Recorded at the same sessions as it's predecessor Paul McCartney obviously staked everything on the first record. Still, there's a few decent songs here. The title track is brilliant, a McCartney classic. Say,say,say, is a good pop song sung with Michael Jackson, and, so bad, is a lovely soul ballad, but would sound better in it's re-recorded form on McCartney's, give my regards to broad street, soundtrack. That's really the best of it, not much else to recommend it by. So-so.
This album is underrated! Has his collaborations with Michael Jackson and some cool songs he had lying around. (Keep Under Cover's a good one)
The first McCartney album I listened to. Made me want to discover more.
