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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

U2 Playing live at red rock Colorado was awesome day for music. A moment that can't really be looked at the same now that we have had. But that was an awesome concert. It's on vhs (Edited)

I think this took U2 to a new level... more the event than the album, but this album captured U2 as a live band... what they are amazing at. Their studio albums are good, but 10 times better live.
Live recording from early in the band's career before they were really international superstars. What comes across most on this record is the band's passion. This is the coming out party for the flag carrying anthem leading Bono that people either love or hate. (Edited)
Classic live album from U2 but in this day and age you want the whole gig. Still, can't complain about the quality of music that is on there though. Energetic and confident. (Edited)
