Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Amazing live album. I had been after a decent version on vinyl for years. It is not an album which I have seen re-released on vinyl, not sure why. It is a very long album, six sides of vinyl, which is rarely one listening experience. That said, two to three sides often get a spin on a Sunday morning and the experience is top drawer.

A great live album from a great band. Impressive not only for the material but the musicianship. Playing this stuff live and having it sound so good is an incredible feat.
