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 is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.2.

I finally understood the purpose of this song; it's a satire of the futility of the blues, of bands that only did that. Pink Floyd, to represent the absence of ideas, put the dog to sing in that style of music, and it works well too. (Edited)

To understand the importance of this live album without an audience, you first need to understand the history of Pink Floyd and then make an analogy with "the wall", then you need to understand a little technically about music and what it should represent, thirdly you need to understand the history of music and what influence this band and this album had on the bands that succeeded it, we are in 1972 which represents a change in Pink Floyd itself and in music in general with the release of an album in 1973 that represents its metamorphosis "The Dark Side of the Moon" (Edited)
