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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 86.7/100, a mean average of 86.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.2.

Mick admitting the toll that the Stones' wild life has left on him, both physically and emotionally.

Horribly underrated Stones gem. One of the Glimmer Twins' better lyrics and a perfect vocal.
One of, if not my favourite song on the album. It's a woozy, morning after track with all the edginess that the Stones evoked so brilliantly at this point. A great blurry masterpiece.

Both 'Brown Sugar' and 'Wild Horses' are great. but this song, which is underrated because of both famous songs I think is actually best song of the album(maybe, of the band) just my opinion
