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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 90.9/100, a mean average of 91.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 8.8.

While the studio recording of Child In Time from In Rock is amazing, I feel this is the superior and definitive version. One of my favorite live tracks of all time with passionate performances all around as well as a properly appreciative audience.

Simply amazing. Only thing that could have made this album better would have been if Gillan's vocals were a little louder. There was definitely much more emphasis on the guitar sound here, not that there is anything wrong with that... Black more blows this song away for sure.
