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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

A bit of a comeback at the time this is one of KISS’s best albums. It is a darker heavier album that blurs the lines between hard rock and heavy metal. This kicks ass and takes names.

Excellent comeback after a terrible try at releasing a "Concept Album" (88.89)
Great hard rock record. One of KISS' heaviest sounding records. It may also be considered a bit of a return to form since the records prior to this were a bit all over the place. Gene Simmons especially shines on this album. I Love it Loud and War Machine are all time KISS favorites for me.
Key tracks: Rock N' Roll Hell, I Love it Loud, War Machine and Killer

KISS were tucked away in my past and I’ve just recently decided to play one KISS album per day from their first to last. I have certainly moved on from their music but to give credit where it’s due this album is actually better than I remember it. I had rated it a 65 based on memory, knowing that it had a few decent songs on it but I’m giving it a 75 after the re-visit. To my surprise this is actually a cracking album with real metal integrity. Some of Gene’s best stuff is on this album and he hasn’t written a stinker on it for once. The album benefits massively from having less overtly childish sexual innuendo (Keep Me Coming being the exception). Eric Carr is superb and Ace is still there (on the cover art at any rate). It is the only 80s KISS I would definitely spin again and it probably should have a bit more recognition as a hard rock classic.
Under rated at No. 5 on this list. Should be as high as no. 2.
