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 has a Bayesian average rating of 53.6/100, a mean average of 52.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 52.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

Apart from "One Hit (To The Body)" only an average album, not bad if you missed that one out.
Everything about this record has aged poorly, from the music, right down to the sleeve. This is for completionists ONLY
A one song album. Very little here worst revisiting and a few tracks that are just straight up bad.
Best song(s): One Hit (To the Body)
During my mid-teens, circa 1985-86, The Rolling Stones were my favourite band (they are still one of my favourites today) so this was the first 'new' album I could go out and buy. I thought the cover looked great in it's red shrink-wrap. Not the case once the shrink-wrap came off. The coloured clothes are ghastly. Not having many LP's in my collection back in 1986, I did play this album a hell of a lot. There are a few really good tracks but too much in the way of shouty, aggressive filler. The song 'Hold Back' is a tuneless dirge. Not an awful album to me but certainly one of their weakest. Favourite Track: 'Sleep Tonight'
Apesar das confusões o álbum é sólido. Boa pegada reggae.
Every band has a worst album. Even the greats. This is The Rolling Stones worst album. Even the cover is abysmal.
I only bought this because the LP was on sale. I really like the opening track "One Hit to the body". "Harlem shuffle" and "Had It With You" are OK as well but the rest are really terrible songs. Worst track: "Winning Ugly".
Painfully average, only good track is the awesome opener, an underrated track (just because it was featured in this bad and forgettable record)
Richards che arriva a minacciare di morte Jagger quando questo pubblica "She's the boss", le canzoni scritte da separati in casa, Ron Wood che cerca di cucire ma anche lui non è più quello di "Some girls", Charlie Watts alle prese con una tossicodipendenza ( ! ), la morte di Ian Stewart, Bill Wyman che mugugna ma quello non è una novità. Ne esce un lavoro ( sporco… ) tutto chitarre, ben suonato, non altrettanto ben prodotto, con alcuni grandi pezzi ed altri al contrario che in altri momenti i Rolling Stones non avrebbero mai pubblicato.
