Rating metrics: Help 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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

A very creditable quality collection of songs by one of the most important and influential bands of the late 1980s, early 1990s, period and good ammunition for those who give heartfelt support to their cultural importance. They sound just as good, 'live', as they do in the recording studio.

Approximately two and half hours of music on this album, so i have being listening to this album of and on for the last few months. It did not disappoint, and they are really a good live band.

Really enjoyable album. Great to hear the older and lesser known songs, rather than all the 'hits'. Has a nice energy about it too. A must for R.E.M. fans.

Very interesting release, it differs from their first live album. The performance is great as always.

Album contains lots of songs I never heard from them before. It's hardly a greatest hits set this one is.
