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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

And this is the best live recording in the world
I love this album. Also for me this is the best band that Zappa ever had.
I like this concert more than The Helsinki Concert (You Cannot Do That On Stage Anymore no2).Year 1974 rules FZ.
