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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Es un disco normalito para ser de Zeppelin. Arranca con la mejor canción del disco y no vuelve a repuntar. Hay buenos esfuerzos como For Your Life, Nobody's Fault but Mine y Tea for One, pero el resto se queda corta. Quizá la más floja de la banda junto con Led Zeppelin III y su último album.

My active Zeppelin listening history during the 70s ended with Physical Graffiti, and Presence was only appropriately heard last week! Achilles is a standout but the rest sound leftovers from previous albums.
The playing is strong but sounds a bit dated by 1976.
Achilles Last Stand is a masterpiece ???
This was the last of the Zeppelin I got well after I had all others. Hence I always had a weariness that it wouldn't live up to the glory of all others before. So it took a bit before fully appreciating the greatness of it. Sure, they have better albums, but this is still fucking shit hot. Very guitar driven rhythms and riffs. Zeppelin do no wrong

Very forgettable overall. The guitar on Achilles Last Stand is great, although the song is probably double the length it should be. A huge drop-off from their previous albums. It feels like it's 44 minutes of the same song over and over...
fave tracks - Achilles Last Stand, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Candy Store Rock

I love the first 6 albums, some of the greatest albums ever recorded. However I never feel like putting this one on. The cover is a bit suspect as well.....

Tem um bluesinho do caramba!!
This is definitely one of the most forgettable Led Zeppelin record, besides CODA, but I suggest just listening to "Achilles Last Stand," if the rest of the album sounded like that it would be a solid album in their discography, but this was the end of great Zeppelin trilogy.
