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 80.2/100, a mean average of 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Surprised myself with how much I dug this album as metal is far from my usual shtick. The anthemic riffs, solos and power chords utterly kick some serious butt
If you can’t be bothered listening to the entire album (and really you should) then at the very least power up the final two tracks in “Powerslave” and “Rime of the Ancient Matiner” and crank that volume dial up to 11
Epic !
classic slice of 80's metal
Very influental album for whole power metal genre.
Favorites:
+Powerslave
+Rime
+Aces high
Along with 'Number of the Beast' this is easily Maiden's greatest other album. Every song is absolute metal bliss. The start of them venturing into a bit of prog metal with 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' was an ultimate success. A must for any metal fan.

More consistent than Number of the Beast. That makes this their best.
I give too many 100s, but holy shit I love this album despite it not being 100% perfect. Maybe a 99...
Aces High, Two Minutes to Midnight, Flash of the Blade, Powerslave, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner are spectacular tracks, and the other three are pretty good yet just aren't on the same level. If people can give Sgt. Pepper a 100 with crap like When I'm Sixty For on in then I can give this a 100.
I diagree with others that this album has lots of filler. This is far and away my favorite Maiden album, and the "filler" tracks, like Back in the Village, are some of my favorites on the record.
Too complex for me to rate, but I have to give it a 95 to help it out.
Interesting lyrics but the instrumentals feel a little one-sided.
