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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

The guys in his 80's... He's still turning out better music than most of the younger artists around today... A fantastic album! (Edited)

Probably his best work since Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (Edited)

Gran regreso de Paul, en su etapa final aún es capaz de regalarnos discos competentes como este. Aquí podemos escuchar un Paul más introspectivo y retrospectivo, augurando quizás, su despedida de los escenarios, es un disco digno para cerrar su carrera, tiene algunas baladas tranquilas y unas canciones más enérgicas como en sus mejores épocas, es agradable escuchar por primera vez, un dueto entre Paul McCartney y Ringo Starr. (Edited)
It's more consistent than his last few records and I like how reflective it is of his life pre-Beatles.
I'm very grateful we still have Paul McCartney with us and releasing music today (Edited)
In general, the songs are very good and better than those on recent albums. McCartney is working hard but his voice is being stretched beyond what is humanly expected. (Edited)
