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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Il passato psichedelico di Steve Miller prima di diventare un entertainer di classe e soprattutto prima di realizzare che con un buon pop bluesato si potevano fare più soldi che con la psichedelia.

I like Rover's explanation and agree with Bork's assessment. Nothing terribly interesting on this, but it is nice to hear this band play something different. Never would have thought of them as psychedelic.
Steve Miller Band's debut album from 1968 is quite different from their more familiar sound and style on albums like "Brave New World", "Number 5" and later "The Joker". Half of the album is classic blues-rock style - solid but without very much personal character.
The rest of the album is more searching - at times almost psychedlia. This is where the group is most interesting, and although Miller's songwriting is yet at his top level, the three opening numbers are actually quite good and successful. In fact the two short songs "Pushed me too Far "and" You've Got the Power "can be regarded as appendix to the opening song" Children of the Future ". All songs of the original vinyl side 1, are bound together and the songs do not really work outside that context.
The second half is mostly blues and these numbers are also in several cases tied together. The bluesy songs, though, but may well be heard separately. Most powerful among these, I find Boz Scaggs' "Steppin Stone" and Miller's own "Roll With it"

A poor debut album. Nothing that sticks out.
