Rating metrics: Help 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 70.8/100, a mean average of 68.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

Default KISS. Though the terminology really didn't exist back then that is exactly what Rock And Roll Over represents. THIS is what KISS is all about. It fights for the title of best KISS studio record. Fantastic songs, flawless production by Eddie Kramer and excellent playing. Ace Frehley never played better...except maybe on KISS Alive! That they squeezed this out in the year between the releases of Love Gun and Destroyer is amazing. The quality of these songs is top notch. Recorded in an empty theatre to give it both a live feel and studio control. They should have recorded them all like this. Best songs? "Makin' Love" and "Mr. Speed." But give Peter his due...his best ever contribution to the band is here in "Baby Driver."
I fail to understand some of the comments I see here and must write it off as simple KISS bashing...some people just don't know how to enjoy a fun band and record. Rock and Roll Isn't important...KISS knew that. Greatest Album Cover EVVVAHHH!

Over the years Rock n Roll Over has become one of the great KISS albums for me. I like the fact that KISS was trying to record the antithesis of "Destroyer", the studio masterpiece that was vilified by the press. So we end up with a two fantastic albums in 1976 that are exact opposites - Destroyer & Rock n Roll Over. The latter is a Bob Ezrin studio centered art piece and the former is a Eddie Kramer raucous rock n roll milestone. A remarkable achievement within the span of a glorious year for Rock music, 1976.

Hard Luck Woman is my guilty pleasure song, but other than that I think this is one of the worse 70s Kiss records

How did this solid album get ranked lower than Animalize and Crazy Nights???

harder rock than it's predecessor, but not as strong in the songwriting. Peter Criss does his Rod Stewart impression on "Hard Luck Woman" which is the album's best song.
