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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

I'm glad I saw Live from the Paramount/there are other live Nirvana stuff that sounds better. The performances are still alright, just the recording quality is pretty lacking.

Shows the power and emotion in Nirvana's live shows. (On a side note - some of the best liner notes around.)

Good collecting of live tracks spanning their entire career. I was at the show Milk It is taken from.

Amazing live songs on this one. I try not to be put off by the fact it's not one single show. Would of felt a lot more poignant. Still there is some amazing songs on here.
