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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

The Vinyl-Version had the best artwork of any Maiden-Album ! You could look at it (Front and Back) for hours to get all the allusions to songs and former albums of the band . Amazing !

Long songs and great writing and fantastic quitars!.¨Will see them in 2025...
One of the best Maiden albums. I love the futuristic mood and sound in many of the songs. My favourites are "Wasted Years", "Caught Somewhere in Time" and "Deja Vu". Maybe only "Heaven can Wait" seems like a filler.
Not as great as predecessors, but still solid Iron Maiden album, I really like the opening track, Wasted Years and Stranger In A Strange Land, my major complain here are quite dumb lyrics especially on two last tracks.

Unfortunately starts to be forgotten this album; in deed is my favourite very slightly less than Powerslave and Piece of Mind, and even am not sure... Definitely prefer this album rather that The Number of the Beast, deserves to be re valued.
Still have my original vinyl of this from the fall of '86. This was played sparingly in 10th grade because Reign In Blood was the preferred and Maiden were put on the back burner. Somewhere has good songs throughout and would be the last one I truly got into. Never could like Seventh Son for some reason. It probably was because that lead track Can I Play With Madness was just too poppy. No doubt, its very hard to rank Maiden first 6 studio albums. They're either perfect or near.
After the glorious albums before it, I was quite disappointed with this. I tried to like it but it just didn't gel with me. A few great tracks but overall it seemed like the magic songwriting well was running dry. 'Wasted Years' is of the same legendary status as the best of the songs before it but for most of the rest, I found it average ho-hum

Outside of "Run To The Hills" this has been my first real listen to Maiden. I didn't really grow up listening to them even though it was my era. Not a bad listen.
Iron Maiden with guitar- and bass-synteszisers. For some old School fans a complete "No go", compareable to Judas Priests "Turbo". But here are some of the finest Maiden tracks ever, even if they are not among favorites of the common Maiden-Fan. Wasted years, Deja Vu, The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner... Great stuff!

Belo início de álbum! Não me incomoda os sintetizadores!
