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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.2/100, a mean average of 81.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

This sounds like a hark back to pre-psychedelic Beatles. It's good but a bit straight for this album
Love it. Especially the organ /piano break that builds to the next verse.
Very good song
The unsung hero of this album. Pretty banal lyrics, but a lovely jaunty melody. Refreshingly down to earth sounding for this album.
Another of Paul McCartney's jaunty old time numbers. Not in the same class as When i'm sixty-four, but certainly no worse than the still to be recorded Honey pie. Enjoyable in the movie, okay on the album.

I don't know why, but seems like this one is my favorite song on the album.

not a really good song but good
Things are returning to normal again. Anyway, this song is decent enough.

It's not a great song, but I find it to be pretty funny.
