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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.6.

The album ends on a high for me. Coming from England, I appreciate 'old music hall' and this must surely be the inspiration here. It has the feel of lounge music too. Mick cranks up his middle English (false) accent in the first part of the song but then returns to his normal vocals from time to time. It is a similar end with this to 'Between the Buttons' and specifically 'Something Happen to me Yesterday' but this is so much more playful, verging on the burlesque.
On this final track Jagger plays the master of ceremonies in his mock upper class voice. Possibly inspired by the Sgt. Pepper band idea it feels out of place on the record which is really saying something on an LP that is all over the bloody place. Still, even though it is rather lightweight, it's better than at least two other tracks on the album and is an acceptable, albeit a bit of a throwaway end to the album.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
