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 69.9/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Film-concerto di Martin Scorsese sui Rolling Stones realizzato due anni prima: abbastanza belli sia il film che il disco. Gli Stones sembrano più in palla rispetto alla tournée precedente ( impressione che già avevo avuto vedendoli dal vivo ), nonostante i sessanta e fischia anni si sentano, ed offrono versioni degne degli originali dei classici e dei pezzi meno noti

One of the band's better latter-day live performances, with an interesting mix of guest performers.
