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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 84.0/100, a mean average of 83.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

In all honesty, I can't find a single Rolling Stones album that I love, cover to cover better than any other. I don't think they really got the holistic album idea. So I had to settle with this. Their period after Brian Jones slowly deteriorated. I think their last decent song was in the 80s. (Edited)

This is an outstanding compilation. It perfectly captures both the Stones best songs and their early evolution. (Edited)
A great compilation! This album contains many songs that shaped rock for years to come. I prefer the individual records but if your only gonna have one Stones album this is the one. (Edited)
This was my first true experience of The Rolling Stones. I had a couple other song of theirs on playlists before, but my parents got me this on vinyl as a graduation gift. It introduced me to some many great songs like “Get Off My Cloud” “19th Nervous Breakdown” “Ruby Tuesday” “Let’s Spend The Night Together” “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and “Wild Horses”. Always a soft spot for me. Best compilation album ever. (Edited)

The only problem with this album is the Rolling Stones are too good to have a best of compilation. I used to have it on vinyl and side 3 had: "Jumpin' Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, Sympathy For the Devil, and Gimme Shelter." Those are some of the my favorite songs of all time. (Edited)
