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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Four extremely idiosyncratic musicians come together to form one unbeatable whole. They're all so unique. Fraser's syncopated and largely improvised bass playing; Rodgers' characteristic phrasing where he adds like 40 notes onto the end of every line; Kirk's uber-sparse and slightly rigid drumming; and Kossoff whose tone is so amazing he can hold onto one note forever and still be spellbinding. They never sounded better then they do here. Without the restrictions of the recording studio they really let loose and play with more drama and passion than just about any band I've ever heard.

A fine live album from FREE. As usual, many banas from 70¨s sounded better and heavier live than on their studio albums
