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)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 86.0/100, a mean average of 85.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.1/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.0.

Absolutely great song and an excellent opener for a wonderful consistent and exciting album. Unfortunately the film project by McCartney was not up to expectations. I don't know why I added this last sentence to my comment. Oh yes, I remember now: a bit difficult to compete with the Pythons, isn't it Paul? (Edited)

The piano line at the end freaks me out. First time I ever heard it out of nowhere, coinciding with McCartney's bass scared me witless.
Catchy opener, but not really exciting. (Edited)
Okay for the title track, but it's not a great song. Enjoyable enough though, but just a bit Beatles by numbers to be honest.
