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 70.1/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

the slower tracks like you gotta move work best on this album however, yet another Stones live album which is lacking that spark that would elevate it to above average.

Gli Stones qui sono una macchina da rock perfettamente oliata, non più nello zenit della loro creatività ma sciolti, potenti, aggressivi, dinamici. La sequenza delle quattro canzoni finali del lato 4 dell'lp, in queste versioni che per me sono le migliori in assoluto, è ciò che rende questo album il mio live preferito.

For the Stones, this is a bad mix. Another disappointing attempt at a live album from this otherwise great live band.

I really like this album. It's certainly better than, still life. The best part is the old side three recorded in a smaller venue than the rest of the album. The rest is fine, though hardly essential.

something about the Stones just doesn't seem to transfer on live albums. Their live albums all seem average.
