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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Is it the first heavy metal album or a hard blues album? The guitar work and lyrics also sit firmly in the psychedelic camp. Loud and aggressive and full of energy. Recording quality wasn't great, the vocals are muddy but many of the albums from this era suffered recording quality issues. Quality issues made up for in raw power. Parchment Farm and Second Time Around are the most psychedelic tracks.

Not very good sounding but I like some of the ideas that they're putting out there. The last track has a lot going on.
I like - very first heavy metal. bluesy
A very disappointing piece of work. After Summertime Blues, which I think is an excellent track, it deteriorates rapidly. Hard to listen to all the way through more than once.
A blueprint for acid/psychedelic rock.

I wanted to like this, but found it mostly irritating.

Covers of Eddie Cochran, B.B. King, and Mose Allison? And present it as heavy metal? Amazing.
A good debut from a seminal San Francisco band. Their first record is loud and raw heavy metal. They refine their sound on the next album bringing in a more psychedelic vibe. Heavy stuff for the times.
Has a garage band feel to it, and that's not a bad thing. Lots of energy - the guitars are thrashing, the vocals are wailing, and the bass/drums are pounding. Bet they had a helluva good time putting this together.
