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 65.9/100, a mean average of 64.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

It's not great, but I find it quite enjoyable, although of course in this day and age a full gig would be preferable. Still, it's fun, and, high wire, one of the two new studio tracks added on to the album is quite good, albeit a bit throwaway. Certainly not essential, but fun.

An okay live album with songs from the Steel Wheels tour, plus a good new one and a bad new one.
