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 80.0/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

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.

One of the best power metal album

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.
La gira que acompañó a la salida de este esencial 'Powerslave', llevó a Iron Maiden a realizar casi 200 conciertos alrededor de todo el mundo, no era para menos. Si hemos mencionado a 'The number of the beast' como una de las grandes obras maestras del género, este disco que ahora nos ocupa no se queda atrás, con esa portada majestuosa inspirada en el Antiguo Egipto y con esos riffs afilados como cuchillas que nos transportan precisamente a la edad de los faraones, un símil perfecto para comparar lo que consiguieron Iron Maiden con este álbum de leyenda, y es que con 'Powerslave' terminó de cimentar su leyenda dentro del Heavy Metal más clásico y tradicional. No hay ningún corte prescindible en todo el disco, perfecto de principio a fin desde la veloz "Aces high" hasta "The rime of the ancient mariner", basada en un poema de Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

TELL ME WHY I HAVE TO BE A POWERSLAVE

Not a fan of metal, but this one has amazing bass work and ambitious songwriting. The best album from Iron Maiden, and the ranking it´s just because I don´t like metal, so I won´t be hearing this that often.
