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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

I rate the UK version of this album as their third best of the sixties after Let it Bleed and Beggars Banquet.
Despite losing Satisfaction, Play with Fire and The Last Time I just feel the UK version flows better. Some of the replacements aren't too shabby anyway...Heart of Stone, Gotta Get Away and I'm Free are all great Jagger/Richards compositions plus you don't have the live track that you get in the middle of the US version.
For me 'Out of Our Heads' feels really vibrant and is stronger than Aftermath, I never really got Between the Buttons (a bit pompous) or Satanic (psychedelia didn't really suit them)...the Stones are best when they're bluesy right?
Anyway whatever version you're familiar with can you imagine a combined version with all 6 of those songs in the track listing...something like
1. The Last Time
2. Mercy Mercy
3. Hitch Hike
4. That's How Strong My Love Is
5. Heart of Stone
6. West Coast Promotion Man
7. Good Times
8. Play with Fire
9. Satisfaction
10. Gotta Get Away
11. Spider And The Fly
12. I'm Free

The stones go soul. This, their third album, must have sounded incredibly regressive when it was released, as it came just after the big leap forward of the satisfaction single, released a month earlier in the UK, and four months before that in the states. It's still a good album, which opens frantically with she said yeah. Best of the Jagger-Richard originals is without doubt the stunning, heart of stone. That's how strong my love is, is probably the best of the covers, but mercy, mercy is also good. The stones would never again rely so heavily on covers. Next would come the classic aftermath, until then, this would do just fine. (Edited)
Easily the best early Stones album. Some great covers of artists like Sam Cooke and Roosevelt Jamison along with Mick and Keith's songwriting getting noticeably better. Great tracklisting, not a single song I don't like and Mick's vocals are stellar. High recommendations for anybody newer to the Stones.
Best song(s): Mercy, Mercy; The Last Time; That's How Strong My Love Is; Good Times; Satisfaction; Play With Fire (Edited)

A lot of covers done fairly well but won’t make anyone ditch the originals it’s their original tracks The Last Time, (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Play With Fire & The Spider & The Fly that began a turning point in the band’s development. (Edited)

This is the Stones evolving into their "bad boy" personas. When they embrace this ethic fully, it works great. The covers and transitional numbers come off as filler.
