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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

Unquestionably the best introduction to live Phish that any non-fan could hope to receive from a hyper obsessed fan, A Live One has got a little bit of everything: Songy songs, wacky vocal jams, wild jams, and a 30-fucking-minute Tweezer. (Edited)

This is a great entry point into the world of Phish and contains some excellent versions of what have become staples in their catalog.
