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 second track stops and starts, it really does sound like it's struggling to get off the ground at times. It's The Rolling Stones though (again finally) and has some great guitar licks. Reminiscent in ways to 'Have You Seen Your Mother Baby' and equally enjoyable.

After the messy first track this comes as a breath of fresh air. A strong song, one of the five or six excellent cuts from this album and another underrated track. A good song.
