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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

I love Maiden - but for this one you need time. But it's worth it!
I love Maiden. But if you're wanting a fix I suggest many of their other albums over this. There are no tracks on this that get me excited ('For the Greater Good of God' nearly getting there). The album has a very run of the mill, paint by numbers feel to it. It just plods along. I pull it out for a listen every now and then and every time what I've written above is how I come away feeling about it. It's not bad, it's just not very good when compared to other Maiden albums.
A strong Iron Maiden album although as with latter day Maiden albums it's short of those classic metal anthems they were so brilliant at writing in the eighties. Still, it's all solid stuff from a band who are still burning brightly.
