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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

After 24 years I finally added this to my collection. I feet like a 15 year old coming back from the record store sitting in my room with the stereo cranked up. This album rocks. Favorite trac….all of them.
Absolutely killer album, heavy metal in purest form. It's a shame that on this site no Priest album is in top 1000 oat, because this album definitely deserves it, it is filled with raw energy and great metal classics.
Favorites: Rapid Fire, Breaking The Law, Grinder, Metal Gods, Living After Midnight.

Best priest album, not one bad song.
Metal classic. Some absolute legendary tracks. A couple are a bit cheesy but you can overlook that due to the fantastic musicianship on them. Fantastic album from start to finish. Part of the staple diet of NWOBHM
Great record i love the outstanding tracks Breaking the Law and Living After Midnight deserves his place but coul be ranked higher.
A Rock Gem of an album by Judas Priest, not a bad track on here.
A perfectly timed breakout release for Judas Priest. British Steel does have a bit lighter lyrics than some of Priest's earlier releases and a lot of the band's concert staples came with this album.
Key tracks: Living After Midnight, Breaking the Law, Metal Gods and You Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise
Clássico além de seu tempo. Riffs, melodia blues e peso! Incrível!
Released in the same year Black Sabbath released Heaven and Hell and Saxon released Wheels of Steel. The metal scene at the time was sizzling with new talent and this album with its iconic timeless cover was timed perfectly. Rob Halford's voice has taken me a while to gravitate to but there is no denying the power that this album delivers. Now that I have the vinyl version I enjoy it much more.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
