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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

This is Steve-O at his peak. Some great deep tracks here including Mercury Blues, Wild Mountain Honey and a revision of Sam Cooke's You Send Me that makes it all Steve's own.
Undeniably one of my favorite albums, although I recognize I am part of a very small minority. Yet I don't care. Fly Like An Eagle is equally psychedelic, bluesy, groovy and slick as rock can be. Steve Miller and crew have a kind of swagger about them that few can match.
Favourite: Fly Like an Eagle, Mercury Blues, Take the Money and Run, Serenade, The Window
Least Favourite (relatively): Dance Dance Dance, You Send Me
Great album! Alongside Book of Dreams, it's Steve Miller's best.
This album is such fun it is at times trippy,nostalgic and humourous. Lots of contrasting styles all delivered with great skill - never boring - must listen to it

In the early 70s after a car crash that broke Steve Miller's neck, he took a couple years off. He returned with the album "The Joker". The title track became a number-one single. Then Miller withdrew again.
The next three years are spent in his studio meticulously shaping his next LP . Building upon what he had started with his previous offering, Miller updated his sound considerably. Miller soars, creating his dynamic, trippy, space blues. Never overdone, Steve Miller’s guitar-work is excellent. Hook-laden songs, atmospheric production and whooshing synthesizers, "Fly Like An Eagle" is an uplifting album of excellent 70's pop rock.
