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 is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.0/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Every time I listen to this I can’t get over how friggin’ awesome it is. I never got to see Lizzy live (huge regret) so this has to do and, to be honest, makes not getting to see them even worse ‘cos, judging by this album, they would have been amazing.

This album is insanely DANGEROUS.
This album rocks, shreds, riffs, and kicks ass.
The playing is tight, professional, and awesome. Phil Lynott's voice is one of the best in rock, soft, hard, and dynamic at the same time!

One of the greatest live albums of all time and usually one of my first recommendations for new classic rock listeners.

One of the best live albums. They were a phenomenal band and these songs were meant to be played live.

One of the best live albums out there. Better versions on this than the studio albums. The second half way surpassing the first with the tempo and rock riffing going into top gear. 'Don't Believe a Word', 'Are You Ready' & 'The Rocker' my picks of the bunch.

Despite the overdubs, it still sounds live. A killer tracklist, amazing performances, and a great live atmosphere make this the defining Lizzy album. It's not their best, but, if somebody were to ask who this band was, this is the first thing you'd tell them about (arguable Jailbreak, too, but this has more to it)
