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)

Another excellent ballad, although not quite up to the level of 'Til the Next Time We Say Goodbye.
Like the, 'till the next goodbye, this is another big ballad. And like that other track it's also rather lovely. The Stones sound confident here, relaxed, going with the flow, where as on the rockier material they sound like they're trying too hard. If you really want to be my friend is one of the album's best tracks, a beautiful song.
