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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

One of the top 10 live albums of all time. The album was recorded in just the right time and contains songs from the band's greatness era (1970-1976). The extended versions of Forty-Five Hundred Times and Roadhouse Blues are the highlights of the record.
Everything I Like about Status Quo (Frantic Four) Is on here a great Live album.
Features The One And Only Full Length Live Recording Of The Classic "Forty-Five Hundred Times".
