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 top track. Brian Jones's marimba dominates this wonderful track as Mick Jagger brags about how he's turned the tables on his girlfriend to become the dominant partner in the relationship. Again, like, stupid girl, the lyrics seem a bit nasty and dated, but it's still a brilliantly infectious track that completes the four classic cuts that open the album.

One of The Stones' best early songs. This one has aged very well. Cool keyboard line, nice guitar solo, great vocal and groove.
