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 albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 65.7/100, a mean average of 59.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

It isn't the greatest live album, the tracks are lacking in drive and any passion, like the band are going through the motions.
Really, what is the point of this album other than to prove Yes are still around? If I want to listen to Yes I'll listen to the originals. These are just inferior, often slower-paced versions of the original songs. They sounds so similar, but just slightly worse. Plus, the canned audience cheering is shameful and not even subtle.
