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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

A live double album recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London in 1983 and features Robert Smith of the Cure on guitar. Most of the tracks are from Juju & Kiss In the Dreamhouse it is a good but not great live album only 2 songs from the 70's are included Switch and their cover of Helter Skelter.
Very strong collection of songs. It is a comp though that is not obvious by looking at it.
