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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

“Next up I have never been a fan of but this is one of the best tracks off the album. It was an interesting diversion for the Stones but ultimately a disappointment and an unnecessary diversion from one of the best bands of all time This has got to be one of the greatest double-sided hit singles…”

They never did anything like this before, nor after. Many say, and I agree to a certain extent, that this was an attempt to match 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles. There may have been some self-inflicted peer pressure to do something psychedelic but I don't see 'Sgt Pepper' as that psychedelic, apart from a few exceptions. This album is more in the realms of 'We Love You', The Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields Forever', 'All You Need is Love' and generally early Pink Floyd and The Incredible String Band. What this album doesn't share, is the characters of Ray Davies, Syd Barrett, early Bowie and The Beatles' 'Mr Kite'.
Instead we have a full immersion into trippy and exoctic instrumentation and songs set in a dreamworld. This album could only have been released in 1967.
Is it any good? Does it deserve the bad press it got? I think the decades have been kind on this album and it is generally well received now and features in most YouTuber's top tens.
I love this album. Being born in 1970, I could not hear it on release, I first heard it when I was 15 and it was a total surprise. There was no internet to warn me of what to expect.
It's got a hazy, druggy vibe but the songs are a mix of excellent pop and 60's rock with eastern and psycadelic touches.
We have the beautiful 'She's a Rainbow', the spacy '2000 Light Years From Home', the country tinged but poppy '2000 Man', the music hall pastiche of 'On With the Show' and the rest is fairly psycadelic. Some excellent moments with the latter but a stinker with the over long 'Sing This All Together (See What Happens)'.
An artefact of it's time but thoroughly enjoyable generally.
I have commented on each individual track, if you have the time. (Edited)

About 2/3rd's of this album is fantastic, as good as anything the stones ever recorded. Unfortunately, the other 1/3 let's the album down completely . The let's sing this song all together mess should have been left off the album. If they had and maybe gomper too and replaced them with we love you, dandelion and child of the moon, it would have been a brilliant record.

The Rolling Stones is my farorite band of all time. I have been looking to find the album on vinyl. Their Satanic Majesties Request is one of their best albums if not their best.

given its placing, this is a disappointing release by the Stones. There are also some lower ranked Stones albums which should definitely leapfrog this one. Stick to the grit and leave the psychedelia to those who have a genuine facility for it.

She's a Rainbow and 2000 Lightyears from home are definetly two of the best songs ever made. But sadly, that is all...
