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 26% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

Really good first effort from KISS. This had some of their best songs including, Strutter, Deuce, Black Diamond, 100,000 years, Cold Gin and Nothin' to Lose. Firehouse and Let Me Know are fun tracks. Unfortunately, they made the poor decision of putting on Kissin' Time and Love Theme from KISS which are both atrocious.

Better than I thought!

I love this album except for one song: Kissin' Time. This album has six of their most iconic songs! Early KISS before the disco era was awesome! "Ace Frehley on guitar!"
Great debut. Top heavy with classic tracks. Dips a bit in the middle but epic finish with '100,000 Years' & 'Black Diamond'

Great debut with nearly the whole album appearing later on Alive the band knew exactly how they wanted to sound.

Second only to Destroyer. Killer Debut!
Solid debut. Several of the album's songs became concert staples. I never found that this early sound really suited the band's image at this time. Some of the songs are hard rocking, but songs like Strutter have a very simple, mainstream pop rock sort of sound.
Key tracks: Deuce, Cold Gin, Strutter and Black Diamond.
Solid debut by Kiss, good from start to finish.

I love how the second and fourth guy look bored as fuck.
