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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.7/100, a mean average of 83.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.1.

I wish they’d left it alone tbh.
A decent version of the iconic Robert Johnson track, featuring Ry Cooder on mandolin. The Stones could now do this stuff in their sleep and in truth this song doesnt really add anything to the album or take anything away, it's just there.
Blues is one of the Stones' strong points.

I've never really though of the Rolling Stones as a straight up blues band, but they are able to cover Robert Johnson pretty damn well.
