Track Fields and Album Fields

I'm trying to find a way to, for example, make my column_ui interface read my comment field, and differ between track comments and album comments; which means that if the whole album has the same comment, just display it as it is, but if not, don't display at all or display the most repeated comment. I have been looking around now, and I'm certainly no specialist in scripting (actually I'm pretty useless when it comes to scripting), and i can't seem to find a easy way to make this. The thing is that it wouldn't be enough to make interface recognize if one track is tagged this or the other way; it would have to compare and recognize if the majority of the tracks of the album have the same comment tags, but not showing it if there's only 2 or three equal comments in a 10 track albums, but comparing to the album total tracks. Maybe calculating a percentage of the of the album total tracks and applying it to an $if script in some way. It's something similar to the %track artist% entry i believe (isn't field remapping something?), or maybe not, i don't really have any album that display Various Artists, despite having only one with more than one, so i guessed that i does exactly what i want, since the aforementioned album has just the 3 final tracks with different artists and it displays the most repeated as the album artist.
I really can't see this as my personal need, let alone some revolutionary concept; there should be some simple way to do this, if so, please forgive me for all this fuss.
Thanks in advance for answers

You cannot access previous or next track info from the current track.

Therefore this is not achievable.
I'm on a horse.
