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 79.0/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

A mixed bag of a live album. All the big hitters are there but there's a few duff tracks that made the cut.

The usual great musicianship from Rush, but I wouldn't be too bothered if I never heard most of this album again.

This is a great live album, but mostly because it's Rush. The mix is so clean, it sounds very much like the studio tracks and therefore fails to capture the energy of a Rush concert. The songs are great, the playing great, etc, but the final result feels a little flat. Rush didn't like their first live album because it was too raw, but they swung the pendulum a little too far in cleaning this one up.
