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 77.1/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Great album. The highlight of the album is The Who's "A Quick One, While He's Away", which might be the best live performance they've ever given.

Increible album en vivo con participaciones de primer nivel como Jethro Tull con Tony Iommi, The Who, John Lennon, Eric Clapton,Mitch Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull y por supuesto The Rolling Stones
Great album. A snapshot of the era. A great performance of 'A quick one while he's away' by The Who got Mick Jagger so paranoid he wouldn't release the album till the 90's. An informal jam with John Lennon, Mitch Mitchell, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards on bass performing The Beatles' Yer Blues is also a highlight. Watch the movie first though.
