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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)

Pieza de cámara ligera y sutil, muy en línea McCartney, balanceando bien los elementos orquestales y la instrumentación eléctrica. Buena pieza (Edited)
A very endearing love tune by Paul, written for his Martha, an Old English Sheepdog he owned at the time of recording the White Album. The music hall-inspired piano line with which the song opens, forms the base for the whole track and makes it a real earbug. (Edited)
Good McCartney song. That's about everything I have to say about this. If I would write more about it, only "average Mc Cartney song" would remain in this comment.
I feel like Paul would have been happy just writing these kind of songs. (Edited)

an excellent track with a surprising amount of hidden complexity (Edited)
