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 68.3/100, a mean average of 65.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Savage Eye is a solid but uneven rock album that reflects a transitional period in the history of The Pretty Things. It has not become a classic of the genre, but it remains valuable to fans of the band due to:
Phil May's charismatic vocals;
igh-quality instrumental parts;
Norman Smith's production finds.
Rating: 7/10 - an album worth listening to for individual tracks, but does not claim a place in the pantheon of rock masterpieces. (Edited)
