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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

"At Home" from 1969 is often regarded as the debut album of Shocking Blue. A fact is that an album was released in 1968 called "Beat With Us", but at that time their outstanding female lead-singer Mariska Veres had not yet joined. Besides Veres, guitarist Robbie van Leeuwen was they key member of the band. He wrote the vast majority of their recordings and he has a great skill of coming up with catchy guitar riffs. The mere sound of his guitar is always a pleasure to listen to.
"At Home" contains their world-wide hit-single "Venus", which alone makes this album essential; fortunately there are other great moments to go for. "California Here I Come" and "Long and Lonesome Road" are two classic Shocking Blue tracks and favourites among fans.
"I'll Write Your Name Through the Fire" is a quieter song with an unusual beat, and a personal favourite of mine. Interesting that Nirvana chose to record the band's relatively anonymous "Love Buzz".
4 early B-sides are added as bonus-tracks; all solid; with "Hot Sand" and "Wild Wind" as the most memorable.

This is much better than I was expecting. “California Here I Come” is a great jam, so is “Love Buzz”. That bass riff intro to “Long And Lonesome Road” threw me momentarily, it’s strangely similar to Tool’s “Vicarious”.

a prog-meets-psychedelia masterwork that is largely underrated and obscure now

Love Buzz es la mejor canción del album
This album includes US number 1 hit Venus.
