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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Maybe it has too many ballads for its own good, but the heavy metal tracks are in my opinion the best heavy-metal the Priest did in the 70s: Sinner is a true classic, Starbreaker is rocking fun and Dissident Aggressor is honestly more genuinly agressive sounding than anything from Painkiller.
Only a slight improvement from the previous album in my opinion. I like Diamonds And Rust, Stormbreaker and Dissident Aggressor, the rest is mostly mediocre and Here Come The Tears is an awful song.
Another great Priest album. This was when they started to define the sound that would put them among the top of the NWOBHM contenders. Full of dynamic tracks (Sinner, Let us Prey, Diamonds and Rust) along with the ballads, I really love 'Here come the Tears' no matter what anyone says. 'Last Rose' could of been discarded though.
Terrific album I’ve owned since the early 80s. Has concert staples such as Sinner and Diamonds and Rust (Joan Baez cover). Has the wonderful ballad Last Rose of Summer coupled with the proto-thrash metal Dissident Aggressor.
I’d say this album, along with Sad Wings, is a must in anyone’s collection.

My favourtie priest album, why? Well because it mixes the 70s rock with the soon to be NWOBH sound. It's just so good.

To back up what PTLegz said.. there is no way there are 10 Priest albums better than this one. This features some of the most exciting songwriting and arranging in the Priest catalog as well as some phenomenal drumming from the legendary Simon Phillips. This to me is the culmination of Priest.

One of Priest's best, Dissident Aggressor is my favourite, but there are no weak tracks.
Best Track: Diamonds and Rust
Essential Priest! Part of their golden years (Sad Wings - Hell Bent For Leather) before they decided to dumb down their lyrics.
No way in hell are there nine Priest albums better than this one.
