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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Often considered one of the essential live albums of all time, and it's easy to see why—very high-energy guitar-driven rock performed by Peter Frampton at his peak. Pretty strong selection of cuts here (Show Me the Way, Baby I Love Your Way, Something's Happening, I Wanna Go to the Sun, Lines on My Face in particular), highlighted by the show-stopping 15-minute performance of Do You Feel Like We Do. Probably could have cut this down into a long single album, but even as is, this is a strong record. Good choice for if you just need 80 minutes of live rock 'n' roll. (Edited)
