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 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Yeah, I’ve been putting this off for a while, and now I see why. You want psych Stones. That Aftermath US release. A few good songs, like Well All Sing This Together, She’s A Rainbow, 2000 Light Years From Home, but the rest doesn’t sound, let alone feel like the Stones. Even for psych standards it’s pretty bad next to Surrealistic Pillow and 13th Floor Elevators.
This is not the Rolling Stones, they are trying to be psychedelic and moving with the times at hand, rather than be Rolling Stones, (Blues, Soul, Rock n'Roll),'Shes A Rainbow', '2000 Light Years' best here.
Worst Stones album ever. A few good cuts with "She's a Rainbow" and "2000 Light Years from Home" with the rest being throwaways. What the Stones were thinking venturing into Psychedelia is beyond me. A poorly conceived pretentious response to The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's" release. The only redeeming value is the three dimensional cover.

Definitely NOT for me!

A psychedelic detour that has some flimflam as Keef has said avoid Gomper and On With The Show but She’s A Rainbow is a classic and the songs with 2000 in them are quite good as well. The next album the band begins their best run.
Not one of their best, but 2000 Lightyears from Home and She's A Rainbow are classics. The 8-minute long track 5 is pointless and really drags the album down.

A good 8 track album no need for Track 5 or the track Gomper the remainder of the tracks make a decent album. She's A Rainbow is a classic Stones song and 2000 Man and 2000 Light Years are the other highlights .
TBC…

An album which may not appeal to diehard Stones fans but which will sit happily near the top of any psychedelic top 100. As with The Who, David Bowie, The Bee Gees, Marc Bolan, to name but a few, several artists produced excellent psychedelic albums but never returned to the genre.

As long as i am definitely NOT a fan of Rolling Stones... that's one of my favourite albums from their dischography... by far... Actually the style looks much more related to Beatles (according to my ears...), so that... i enjoy it so much.
