Rating metrics: Help 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 70.0/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Il secondo album dei Rolling Stones è un passo indietro rispetto alla freschezza ed all'esuberanza del primo omonimo. Discreto, ma è anche solamente poco di più che il contenitore di "Time is on my side".

The second UK stones album lacks the spark of their debut. It's pretty much the same content as the first, rock'n'roll covers, ballads, and a couple of generic originals. Best tracks are, down home girl, under the boardwalk, (which the stones really make their own, regardless of their bad boy image), and the excellent, time is on my side. The stones originals, what a shame, off the hook, and grown up wrong, are the kind of songs the stones would become master's of in a year or two, but at this time they're just average rock/blues tracks. As I said, it doesn't quite have the bite of it's predecessor, but is still fun to listen to, knowing the genius to come.

I feel this album was recorded in kind of a rush. Solid though, I miss the days when the Stones had something to prove.

I have the American version, Now! This is a great early album from them, packed with energy.
