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 4% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 81.6/100, a mean average of 81.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

This song is all Keith, and it positively rocks. Great riff, excellent lyrics, and a very cool vocal from the guitarist.
Keith's outlaw ballad. It's one of his best contributions to the Rolling Stones and it perfectly suits the rough and ready atmosphere of Some girls. The ultimate Keith Richard's anthem.
One of Keith's finest lead moments, kinda fits with his legal woes shortly before "Some Girls" and the song was catchy enough that it could've been a big hit.
