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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

A much better album than I initially gave it credit for. It really does rock. Great album
Perhaps America's best response to Led Zeppelin.

This album rocks. A nice almost hidden gem. Recommended. As Made in 1973 this sounds very fresh and modern. Very underrated and undeservedly forgotten
Probably the greatest hard rock debut album of them all.
An underheard album full of straight forward guitar driven hard rock. Montose's debut is a lean record that should be considered a classic rock staple. It also introduces us to Sammy Hagar's voice.

One musn't simply play this album. One must BLAST this album.

Greatly underrated album, in the same class as Van Halen's first.
IMO, this is the greatest hard rock debut album of all time. There is not a single bad track on the album; absolutely no filler. Ronnie Montrose is extremely under-rated as a guitar player. It angers me that this album is virtually forgotten by most people when discussing debut albums.
This album is so underrated, it saddens me. One of my personal favorites.
