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)

Mick Jagger's first sole contribution to the Stones is probably the best song on the, between the buttons, album. Over a rumbling music track Jagger does his usual 'stupid girl' bit, and although there are probably a few too many Rolling Stones songs in this lyrical vein, you still can't deny the brilliance of this track. The only true Stones classic on the album (Edited)
