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 77.8/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

They are a stunning live act. This is a fantastic live album. The Supper's Ready version here is majestic. (Edited)

Good LIVE
An essential live album! Genesis soars here on tracks like Los Endos, Cinema Show, and of course the show-stopping Supper's Ready.
Pretty good and often played but for me the standout is Supper's Ready.

One of the great live albums, completely under-rated on this site. (Edited)
