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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

A good band, a good album to start with-- and then you add several dashes of McCartney, and, well, you keep coming back to it for decades.

It's not exactly the musical equivalent of the literary 'Brave New World', but this early SMB release (their 3rd) has some fun and interesting songs that hint at the future musical success the group would garner. Seasons and Space Cowboy are my favourites.

Been a Steve Miller fan going back some forty years. This is my favorite. From the long time radio favorite Space Cowboy to the gorgeous Seasons, Miller takes all the musical trends of the time and makes them his own. Something he always excels at. Give it a listen!
