Rating metrics: Help 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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

no they don't suck, you think they sound dated when they came out b/c it's just standard hard rock. and? that's an awesome genre, let me help you with this:

step 1: THROW YOUR S*&^%* EARBUDS AND IPHONE IN THE GARBAGE.

step 2: BUY TOWER SPEAKERS, A MIXER, AND A RECORD PLAYER.

step 3: TURN THE VOLUME UP TO MAX.

enjoy your newfound appreciation for bands like kiss, ac/dc, wolfmother, and every other "standard hard rock" act that you've dismissed after listening with earbuds while lying around or walking/driving somewhere. there's definitely a time and a place for music like this and it's not the same as for more artistic/creative stuff. you're welcome.

Awesome hard rock album. Some of the songs aren't too memorable, but there's also a few songs that are really great and fun to listen to. It sounds a lot like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and other 70s and 80s hard rock bands mixed with modern bands like The White Stripes. There's a lot of great riffs here, and I think it's a really underrated debut.
Best tracks: Woman, Joker & The Thief, Vagabond
Worst track: Pyramid

Vocals sound like the white stripes singer. Guitar amps going with heavy fuzz. Sounds like a mix between Led Zep anb the white stripes. It works for me. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Glad they stood out in Alice in Wonderland and Spiderman 3 soundtracks.

All the 70's hard rock in the world can't forgive the fact that this band is maybe the most lyrically empty group in rock since the heydays of Yes and Dokken. "Woman, you're a woman, you might be a woman, I wouldn't know a woman, if it bit me in the woman...."

Some of the lyrics here are just very dumb but that reminds you how dumb many classic rock lyrics really are anyway. I really liked many of the heavy, heavy songs here but my truly guilty pleasure was the mainly acoustic closer Vagabond.
