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 68.6/100, a mean average of 67.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.8.

Not a bad compilation. But if you're after a good showcase from Ted, you'd be better off with 'Double Live Gonzo' instead. But overall, a decent selection of his work. Enjoyable shit hot guitar rock.

Not the best of compilations, great guitar work, especially on Stranglehold, but not the greatest songs.

Its a compilation of great songs so it has to be good. Still I could do without his (or anyone elses) version of "Baby Please Don't Go." And how does he pick a greatest set without a single track from his best record? No Weekend warriors included at all. That's strange.
