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 79.5/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.6.

If you're not a great Maiden fan but like some of there stuff, this is a good compilation covering a good chunk of there catalog. In all honesty though, you'd be better off getting either 'Number of the Beast' or 'Powerslave' instead.
I'm not a die-hard fan of Iron Maiden, I've seen them twice and they are awesome but I couldn't pick a single album as the best. It is one of those bands that you need to know and this album is an amazing introduction.
fear of the dark (live) is perfect more than normal verison
