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 64.8/100, a mean average of 63.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Why does such a great live band with so many awesome songs to choose from have such a hard time putting out a decent live album?
A bit boring to be honest. The Stones were way past it at this point and they just seem tired here. Dull.
I love The Stones. Love The Stones live. But this just doesn’t do it for me. Very average overall.
Distracted and inaccurate
