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 82.1/100, a mean average of 82.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 10.1.

Somehow the Stones manage to fuse the punk ethos with a super cool groove on this one and it works to perfection. Great vocal as well.
With the disco laced Miss you kicking of the Some girls album, the second track sits firmly in punk category. Dripping with New York references, as pretty much the whole album is, this a gritty and sleazy piece of rock'n'roll, and although slightly repetitive, it still is full of energy and it has an edge about it that the Stones hadn't displayed for a few years. Rocking good number.
