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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.6/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

1 and 4 are masterpieces 👏🏻
Paint it Black is probably their best song and Under My Thumb has a melody so good even The Beatles were probably envious, but overall not super consistent.
Like mv3k I have the US version which, IMO, is a slightly better release than the UK version listed here. Both great albums though whichever one you get. Side one is great with paint it black as one of the best side one, track ones’ ever. Follow that with stupid girl and the wonderful lady Jane and it’s pretty much perfect up to that point.
The US version is great start of fairly good Stones 60s run. The best tracks are Paint It Black and Under My Thumb.
Cuando apareció este disco, los Stones ya habían publicado álbumes excelentes, pero este es, en mi opinión, su primera obra maestra.
This was the first Stones that I ever heard, and it wasn't until way later into their discography that I came to appreciate what this was. A bluesy-er offering, and slides nicely into the discography.
I love the exotic instrumentation on this record
strong bluesy Stones offering.
I listened to the US version of Aftermath which features "Paint it Black" (I have no idea how the UK release doesn't have that one) and leaves off a few like "Out of Time" and "Take It or Leave It". It's definitely a good album, but has a lot of filler, especially on the UK edition.
Best song(s): Paint It Black; Under My Thumb; Think

Mostrava sua força. A partir daqui consolidava sua lenda.
