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 66.1/100, a mean average of 65.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

VictorValeI can only imagine how disappointing this was after the success of some girls (Edited)
With the exception of Dance Part 1 (one of the most underrated Stones tracks ever) and She's So Cold, there's nothing really much here worth revisiting, but certainly not a bad album by any means.

Non sono mai stato d'accordo con chi ritiene "Emotional rescue" essere uno dei dischi peggiori dei Rolling Stones: ma proprio per niente ! E' un disco leggero e allora ? Forse che non lo è la maggior parte della musica pop e molta musica rock ? E poi il testo di "Indian girl" o l'intera, bellissima, "Down in the hole" sono leggeri ? L'equivoco in cui cade chi ritiene questo album un disco dance è dato dalla prima canzone ( "Dance" di nome e di fatto: in effetti poca roba… ) e dalla title track, che però è disco music della più originale. Il resto sono rock, ballate, un pizzico di country, blues e pure un atipico reggae in battere: belle canzoni ( la maggior parte ), che non stancano, che divertono ( il basso di "She's so cold", per dire… ), ben suonate e… ebbene si, leggere. Ribadisco: e allora ?
