Rating metrics: Help 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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.2/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

After the release of, at Wembley, it's pointless. I don't know about the CD version but I used to have this album on cassette. Most of the songs were edited down to one verse and the whole of the opera section from, no rhap, is missing. It was all very odd.
