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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

Thrilling live album, all of Joel's pre-Stranger songs come alive with his fiery backing band.

Essential cuts: Miami 2017, Summer Highland Falls, Los Angelenos, Everybody Loves You Now, Say Goodbye to Hollywood, Captain Jack

Great selection of songs with lesser known gems from his early albums. He was in peak form during these performances.
