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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Conocí este disco por Paul Rodgers, ya que participó con Queen hace algunas décadas y así conocí a este cantante, escuché algunas de las canciones de Bad Company (y Free) por el disco en vivo con Queen llamado Return Of The Champions, pero hace poco decidí escuchar este disco para saber más de la banda y me gustó. Blues rock de buena calidad con un gran cantante, tiene algunas grandes canciones como Can't Get Enough y la homónima, Bad Company. Es un disco corto que se puede escuchar sin ningún inconveniente, todas las canciones fluyen de buena manera, eso juega a su favor, un disco del que no se habla mucho, pero me parece una pequeña joya oculta.

If you are looking for a heavy rocking album this is not one, but it has a wider spectrum with too many ballads and mid-tempo rockers, with good sonic quality. Album is not heavy, gritty, or nasty.
Best tracks:
- Cant get enough
- Bad Company
- Rock Steady
When I bought this album, I was surprised how slow many songs are, and there are 4 ballads!
A slight disappointment for me, I expected a tougher and harder rocking album.
pretty much average quality rock and roll
Solid stuff and does what it says on the tin although Bad Co. seem to lack the soul that Free had. Paul Rodgers makes the best of everything with that fantastic bluesy vocal. Every album they made afterwards has a few good 'uns but not really a bad track on this debut.
Favorite Tracks:Bad Company
Great solid Rock songs that are easy to remember. After a while it gets a little boring and that's why i'll never play this album on repeat.
This is a fantastic album. Probably the best of 1974 and one of the most underrated ever. The songs Bad Company, Can't Get Enough, and Ready for Love are classic rock radio classics!
Good album from start to finish
A rock classic. Bad company takes up where Free left off with a superb collection of bluesy rock tunes. The standouts are, can't get enough, movin' on, and the title track. Enjoyable rock'n'roll.
