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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

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. (Edited)
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. (Edited)
Amazing live album with great performances of basically all the long 70s epics! (Edited)
It takes everything that is great about their songs and makes them greater. (Edited)
