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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 79.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

To me this is an expansion upon Wings Greatest Hits with additional singles, B-sides, album tracks, etc. The problem with that album and this album is it gives you the impression that this is Wings and not Paul McCartney's solo work as well. I'm also puzzled by the selection. Maybe it's difficult to ever compile a prolific artist onto an album or two, but why No More Lonely Night (Play Out Version), Lovely Linda, Call Me Back Again [overrated], or Waterfalls [horrible lyrics]. Was this Sir McCartney's selections or the record company? No matter what, this is a slice of music from one of the greatest songwriters in musical history - simply put it can't be that bad.
Great overview and intro to Paul's post-Beatles work. Seek out the unedited versions of Junior's Farm and With a Little Luck, though.
