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 is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Side one, the studio set, (the first six tracks) is as good as any British invasion of its time, including the Beatles. Heart Full of Soul is for my money their best track ever. Side two (starting with Smokestack Lightning) is live tracks, really good garage band blues. If I find this album on Vinyl, I'd probably play side one a lot more often. (Edited)
Side one is great- Heart full of soul and Train kept a rollin' are the best ones IMO.
Second live side is good but unfortunately the sound is pretty bad.

Considered by many to be The Yardbirds' best, whether it is or is not true, hardly matters. It's good. That's all that really matters.
Amazing guitar album, the deluxe Editions are even better with bonus track "Shapes of Things"
Best Track: The Train Kept A-Rollin'
