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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.6/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

A great live album that finds the band in fine form despite breaking up over 20 years ago at the time. Some versions work better than others but you can feel the intensity throughout.
Great live album, must have been insane to have been there live.

Heroin and Pale Blue Eyes on this version is incredibly awesome.
