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 72.3/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.0.

IMO one of the better KISS albums that contains a few classics from the band.

I really do not get into this. The sounds are not very good and the songs remain unispired.

Arguably KISS’s best studio album Detroit Rock City, King of the Night Time World, God of Thunder, Shout It Out Loud and Beth are all classic tracks.

Some excellent tracks, but not the entire album. My favorite Flaming youth.
