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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

It's amazing these guys can put out a show like this after all these years. Geddy's voice isn't quite what it was and he has to sing some songs down a step, but still a phenomenal live performance across the board.

Had the pleasure of seeing the band on this tour. The DVD/CD is almost as good as my memories of that phenomenal show. Aside from the omission of La Villa Strangiato, this setlist is essentially a who's who of Rush's 40 year catalog.
To paraphrase B.B. King, "May I live forever, but may Neil Peart live forever and a day."
