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)

These lyrics!! (Edited)
I love this song! The instrumentation is classic, and I wish this song wasn't as overlooked as it is. Another fantastic song on an essential album. (Edited)
An underrated track. It seems to get slightly forgotten considering it's the filling in a heavyweight sandwich, along with, you got the silver, of, midnight rambler, and, you can't always get what you want. It has a real edge to it and is one of the Stones' most overlooked songs. (Edited)
the piano part is just beautiful (Edited)
