Dear Doctor ratings

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)

Going by the scores for each song on this site, it’s crazy this is basically considered the worst song on Beggars Banquet. I love not only the humor but the way they add more vocals and expression as the song goes on to charge things up.

A brilliant comedy number from the Stones. They never seem to take themselves too seriously when they tackle country music and this is no exception. Jagger's hilarious vocals are the icing on the cake. Silly but fun.
