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 75.3/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Classic sounding NWOBHM, but done by Germans. Masters of Power Metal. Not a top tier metal album but well above average. 'Future World' having one of the best ever singalong choruses. Personally I think Keeper Part 2 is way superior. (Edited)

One of the best power metal album ever
Sin duda podemos considerar al guitarrista Kai Hansen como una de esas brillantes mentes que ha dado el Metal, pues sin el alemán probablemente no disfrutaríamos del Power Metal como lo hacemos a día de hoy. Tuvo el acierto después de un notable debut de cederle su puesto de vocalista a un chaval de 19 años llamado Michael Kiske, que se destapó con una voz perfecta para el género a desarrollar. Este primer volumen está cargado de melodías veloces a medio camino todavía entre el Heavy Metal y este Power Metal primigenio. Toda la banda rinde a un nivel excelso pero no puedo dejar pasar a la pareja formada por Kai Hansen y Michael Weikath en las guitarras, que nos brindan unos solos de una calidad excelsa. Trabajo referencia dentro del Power Metal y los alemanes sentando las bases de un género que se desarrollaría por completo la siguiente década.
An absolutely bonkers metal album. The German group Helloween give us an extremely enjoyable record with spectacularly over the top performances. Obviously, heavily influenced by Queen and Iron Maiden, seven keys, is a lot of fun. A tale that wasn't right, future world, and the epic, Halloween, are the best tracks. Ridiculous metal at it's best.
