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 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.4/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

Almost feels like Sabbath with the groove and heft, but is unmistakably the Stones nonetheless. One of the best examples of songs that make Exile so great.
Love this track from a really great album.
Brilliant song. It has a great rhythm flowing through it, a real push and pull groove. Kind of funky. Excellent cut.

I love the blusey chug of this track.
I was starting to get bored with the album, but this song got me interested again.
