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 78.4/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

The best heavy metal album ever bar none. I don't care if large swathes were overlaid post gig. Exciter is an unstoppable opener and it just keeps going for the next 45 mins (or more if you have the extra tracks version). Top stuff. (Edited)
One of the best metal live albums ever. (Edited)

This IS Heavy Metal!! The best there is...Judas Priest!
Live Heavy Metal album, in my opinion there are better metal albums from Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Rainbow to name but three. And yes, in their heyday, Deep Purple were classed as Heavy Metal, in fact a pioneer of. Diamonds and Rust is probably the best track.
When everything came together. Iconic live album.
