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 has a Bayesian average rating of 64.4/100, a mean average of 63.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Definitely not their best album, but also not their worst of the Dickinson Era (looking at you Final Frontier). Has its moments, the first 3 tracks are all really good after 3-4 rotations. Bring your daughter is a live staple and really a solid song, Mother Russia also is really good. The rest is standard, ok till good fillers. Overall a good record if you give it a chance.
Not the best from Iron Maiden, but defenitely not to be thrown away; actually i prefer this album reather that Fear of the Dark, and definitely better than the 21 century albums from Iron Maiden. In my humble opinion. Lyrics to be forgotten, at all.
I personally love every song on this album and I don't understand the hate AT ALL. Yes, it's a more stripped back sound. Yes, it came after what's considered one of Maiden's best albums. But No Prayer, is, at it's heart, an underrated masterpiece.
From the chilling Mother Russia to the helping of cheese that is Holy Smoke, there's not a single bad song on this album.
I feel like I'm the only one who recognises how good this album actually is. It saddens me to see all the undeserved hate for this, for the Blaze albums, for Final Frontier, for Dance of Death... and they only get hate because of the mainstream opinions.
I'm proud to have my own opinions, one of them being that No Prayer is a criminally underrated masterpiece.
Mais um grande acerto da banda, mesmo que pouco valorizado.
Crap Maiden album, one of the most steep and fast declines for a band ever, after the great album Seventh Son was.
Probably the only Maiden album that shouldn't have happened. There are some good songs, but even on The X Factor and Virtual XI there were some stone cold classics that I absolutely love. Not here though.
I guess the group thought Seventh Son of a Seventh Son was too pompous or that the group had become too serious (though that album is among their best), or they just wanted to try and make something totally different. The point of No Prayer for the Dying was to bring the group back to their original sound. It was also their first album with guitarist Janick Gers, replacing Adrian Smith who had just left the group. Bruce sings with a more raspy voise which is just annoying. The group sounds much less serious than on their predecessor, and though there are some OK songs here ("Tailgunner", "The Assassin", "Bring Your Daughter... To the Slaughter" and "Mother Russia") the rest is absolutely dreadfull. Definitely one of the group's worst.
No prayer for the dying, was Iron Maiden's first album of the nineties and first with new guitarist Janick Gers, who replaced Adrian Smith. The album saw Maiden returning to shorter and punchier songs. While not one of their best, there is some good stuff on here, unfortunately, some bad too. Tailgunner, is fine, and first single, holy smoke, is good. Other good stuff includes, run silent,run deep, hooks in you, and, fates warning. Nothing is really terrible until you get to the last two tracks. Bring your daughter, and, mother Russia, are appalling. Why on earth Steve Harris was so desperate to include, bring your daughter, is a mystery. Bruce Dickinson was keeping it for a solo track, but amazingly Harris thought it was good enough for Maiden. All in all, not bad, if you exclude the last two cuts.
Their first bad album. The only song I like is No Prayer For The Dying and I dont even like it that much.
It's a toss up between this one and Final Frontier for my least favourite Bruce Dickinson Maiden album
This one does have some very catchy singles on it but otherwise for the irons this is substandard
If you want to try Maiden out just avoid this and the Blaine Bailey efforts and you will be fine
