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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.0/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Really good album. Excellent guitar work throughout. As noted in another review, there is a progressive element which I like.

It was great to have Bruce back as well a 3rd guitarist in Janick. This release gets played regularly on my MP3 at the gym.

El regreso de la bestia a las grandes plazas de las que nunca debió salir con la vuelta al seno de Iron Maiden de Bruce Dickinson y Adrian Smith supuso uno de los mayores acontecimientos en la historia del Metal. La expectación por escuchar a las tres guitarras de Smith, Murray y Gers era enorme y el resultado no defraudó en absoluto, con un 'Brave New World' que reverdecía los viejos laureles ochenteros. El disco suena a puro siglo veintiuno y marca el camino que la banda seguiría en futuros trabajos con canciones de claro carácter progresivo donde lo importante es que la pista se desarrolle correctamente. Bruce Dickinson se muestra pletórico a lo largo de todo el disco demostrando porqué la afición lo considera el mejor cantante de la historia del género. Una banda que ya lo había hecho todo dando una clase y enseñando que aún podía hacer más.

The return of Bruce Dickinson after an eight year break. Brave new world, is easily Iron Maiden's best album since, seventh son. It's epic and ambitious but it doesn't feel overlong or overblown. It doesn't quite have any classic metal anthems that Maiden used to write, in fact it's more proggy than what's come before, still i think this is the best of the Maiden albums made after Bruce rejoined. It proved that the band still had something to offer.

What a comeback for Bruce. Their second best after Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son.

Great album by a great band, even for those not into the Metal scene. My favourites are Blood Brothers and the surprisingly underrated The Nomad.
