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 70.7/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

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

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!

A good album. Includes some Kiss Klassics in, I want you, calling Dr. Love, and the Rod Stewart pastiche, hard luck woman. Just silly brainless throwaway fun.

A nice companion piece to Destroyer. This album is really made by the two Peter Criss-Baby Driver and the decidedly un-Kiss like Hard Luck Woman.
