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 72.9/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

A rather overlooked album which is a shame because, if you give it a go, you’ll be rewarded with some killer tracks, like ain’t too proud, the title track and time waits….. but the rest of the album, certainly side one, is classic stones. I also have a soft spot for dance little sister. Overall, an album worth exploring
This is actually a pretty solid album. If songs didn't drag for too long in the outros it would be even more enjoyable to listen to.
I like this album, the first six tracks are good. Tracks seven and nine are bit on weak side and it finish strongly with Fingerprint File. The title track is great song.
Pretty bland, but the solo on time waits for no one is amazing

Rockizinho gostoso, nenhum ponto muito alto, mas nada de ruim tb.
For me Side One on the album is the best side on any of their offerings, only Side Two is probably their worst, for album artwork this is my favorite cover too, best tracks Side One & 'Fingerprint File'.
Another underrated 70's Stones album. With the exception of only a few weak tracks, I really enjoyed this throughout.
Best song(s): It's Only Rock N' Roll; Time Waits for No One; If You Really Want to be My Friend; Fingerprint File

Too much normal record
Some great songs It's Only Rock N Roll, Time waits for noone, Til the Next goodbye.
Some terrible shockers - short & curlies, dance little sister, Luxury
The rest are somewhere in between. Fingerprint file is interesting, it just doesnt really fit with the rest of the album.

Okay, so it's not Sticky or Beggars, but this album is grossly underrated. I don't find a need to skip any of the 10 tracks and most are excellent examples of Stones rock and roll. The underrated epic deep cut on this one is Time Waits for No One, a genuine masterpiece.
