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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Great album, very honest in its delivery and probably their best album. It is raw and doesn't even try to be refined, even comparing to their debut funnily enough. There were some arrangements and harmonies there and they are almost completely absent here, but this is not a complaint, those differences give both albums individual character!
I love the sound of the bass here, every album ever should have the bass guitar loud like this.
America's favorite hard rock band played Paranoid 2 years before Sabbath. THis is indeed a hard rocker
I heard this just at 42 years old. incredible. Now it's in my top 20 albums of all the time
Great Rock sound, but missing good songwriting.
A great record.
Grand Funk had a vinyl called Mark,Don & Mel. I do not seem to get it anywhere on the net.
MARK FARNER THE BEST VOICE IN ROCK HISTORY, AND MOST ENERGY. I WAS AT SHEA STADIUM, THE STADIUM WAS A ROCKIN AND ROLLIN. 55 THOUSAND + PEOPLE SINGING CLOSER TO HOME. MARK FARNER VOICE RESONATED THROUGH OUT THE STADIUM. HOW COOL IS THAT, GRAND FUNK ARE THE LOUDEST ROCK GROUP I EVER HEARD, MY EARS RANG FOR 3 DAYS AFTER THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN CONCERT IN DECEMBER 1970. IT WAS REALLY AN EXPERIENCE TO GET TICKETS FOR GRAND FUNK AT MSG (MADISON SQUARE GARDEN) STANDING THERE FOR HOURS AND HOURS WALL TO WALL PEOPLE, THE ONLY WAY OUT AFTER YOU GOT YOUR TICKETS, WAS OVER THE TOP OF OTHER PEOPLE TRYING TO GET CONCERT TICKETS THEM SELVES TO SEE GRAND FUNK PERFORM LIVE. GRAND FUNK ROCKS FOREVER
