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 73.2/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Solid renditions of catalogue favourites, especially good are a chilled out slowed down jazzy rework of "Reelin' In The Years", while the opening funky groove workout "Babylon Sisters", a slick and sinewy run through of "Green Earrings" and the drum solo (a drum solo!) in "Josie" set off a few other fireworks. "Third World Man" arguably improves on the studio version and is one for the 'best of' playlist. I feel this album was maybe a bit of a missed opportunity otherwise, and the cover is one of the band's worst! They should put together another live album in the future, as they are now a great touring band and look unlikely to release new studio albums.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
