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 67.6/100, a mean average of 66.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

“Not the greatest live recording my any stretch of the imagination but once your ears atune to the recording, there are some decent recordings here. Probably only for completists to be honest though”

It's a decent enough historical document but it's not really a great live recording. It's limited by the technology of the time.

Some of the songs on it aren’t even “live”. They are studio recordings with crowd screams added on. A very shoddy product, but even with that knowledge, there is a certain excitement on the actual live tracks. The British EP released around the same time is far superior. A must have.

Yeah skip ‘I’ve been loving you’ & ‘fortune teller’ as they’re studio recordings with canned crowd noise and it sounds horrible. Everything else though is fantastic...it’s raw, energetic and it F****n rocks. Damn, just love Jaggers hand claps up front in the mix on Satisfaction!!!
