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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Correction This album is a live album, is not a study album, it was recorded in Fillmore East in New York in 1969 great album but i prefer laurell canyon or bluesbreakers with clapton, anyway he shows is master of blues rock

Un vero "punto di svolta" questo album di John Mayall: dopo la serie di dischi in cui aveva valorizzato o addirittura lanciato dei chitarristi destinati a glorie future ( Clapton, Green, Taylor ), Mayall cambia proprio struttura all'impianto strumentale dei suoi Bluesbreakers affidando alla chitarra acustica il compito di sostenere il ritmo al posto della batteria e lasciando gli assolo al flauto, al sax o alla sua armonica.
