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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.3/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

BOC KInda is ahead of its time, a mix of southern and hard...
Solid debut. Screams is a greatly unappreciated psych rock track, and a great way to begin side 2 of the record.
This is actually a pretty strong debut record. The compositions and arrangements are great but the production on this record has not aged well.

BOCs first album was unlike anything that had come before, and well demonstrated the dark wit and musicianship these guys had to offer. The sound is raw and low-tech, but that works well with their songs and presentation. One of the great debut albums in rock history.
Had forgotten just how spectacular this '72 album was. All tracks have great, memorable tunes, and the playing is sensational. Interesting lyrics at the final touch of magic.

There are some really great instrumental moments on this album, for example the riff of Cities On Flame, but other than that I really struggled to get through the album. Incredibly corny, and more laughable lyrical content than otherwise.
Luckily, B.O.C. would get a little better as time went on.
Best Track: Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll
