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 has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.0.

As Gary already points out, it did not bode well that a cover version was released as the lead single for the album. I like the track quite alot though it does outstay it's welcome a bit. Maybe trim off the last minute. No complaints really though as this is one of the better tracks.
By releasing a cover as the first single from their new album it didn't say too much about the confidence the Stones had in their own music. Listening to the album, you can understand why(although one hit to the body, should have been the single). Anyway, this isn't all that bad, in fact it's extremely enjoyable. Good cover.
