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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.3/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Much better than MC5 indeed, than the NY Dolls as well, and about as great as The Stooges at their peak. Some really dirty-ass proto-punk with furious guitar riffs, a flawless record, and it's only 25 minute long. Get on it.
The only negative about this album: it's not longer (Edited)
After watching “A Band Called Death” the fact that this band never got the launch they deserved is criminal. Impressive not just in its catchy riffs and hooks with great musicianship, but nested in the birth of punk. Rock ‘N’ Roll Victim is perfection and wastes no bit of its runtime. Let the World Turn and Where Do We Go From Here are the anchors of the album. I’m not too big on the first and last tracks, but even they have their moments. The bass lines are also great as well. You’re A Prisoner and Freakin’ Out are straight forward rockers, but no less good. A fantastic record and one of the most underrated and unrecognized albums of all-time. (Edited)

Is there any way we can separate this band from the metal Death ? It's weird, they are both showing up .
Anyway, this is a great proto punk band. It was recorded in the early or mid 70s, released recently. If you like Stooges or MC5 (but they are much better than the MC5...) or NY Dolls, check this out.
For the Whole world to see is unpolished and and lacks lyrical depth on the majority of tracks but there is some fantastic instrumentation and potential.
