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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

This album is apparently often compared with Sticky Fingers. No real comparison for me. Based on this album, I'd say these guys just didn't write songs at Mick and Keith's level.

Brilliant album with a strong influence on punk and "Whiskey Woman" in it.
"...what the Rolling Stones would have sounded like if they'd sworn their allegiance to the sound and style of Sun Records instead of Chess Records" (Miriam Linna)
"...the Groovies' alternate--universe version of Sticky Fingers..." (Mark Deming)
Whiskey woman is knocking on heavens door, two years before Bob composed it...
