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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.0/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

This album is just a joy to listen to. No bad songs. Has such a high replay value as well. Great songwriting. Enough variety to keep it interesting, but also quite high energy all the way through. 40 minutes is perfect. Could not be more or less. Wish more modern metal albums would keep it to the point like this
Arguably the greatest metal record of all time, catchy riffs and solos (that are also never static) make this album an absolute blast.
Highlights: All Songs
Very solid thrash metal album with 3 great songs - Holy Wars, Hangar 18 and my favorite Tornado Of Souls. I also really like Lucretia and Rust In Peace...Polaris, I think they're underrated. Unfortunately there are some weaker links here and there that makes it not a perfect album.
A great 2 opening songs but the album drops off after these two tracks which makes for quite an inconsistent listen. There is too many skippable tracks on here for it to be able to be amongst the elite level records. Despite this, there is some brilliant guitar work on here from both lead guitar and bass which is thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. It is also extremely energetic and powerful. Overall, a solid album on the whole but not a record I would be ranking near the greatest of all time.
There’s more musical diversity here than I thought at first. Style wise, it’s not my bag, and I really don’t like the singer’s voice but some of the grooves get me going, so to speak.

Frankly the only album from Megadeth that deserves to be really well considerated; other stuff... not bad, but nothing expecial.

Síntese do que é um bom álbum de metal!
Maybe in top 10 of best Metal album ever
The opening of this album, namely the first two songs plus Tornado of Souls, is legendary, but I appreciated "Peace Sells" more due to its consistency.
BY FAR the best megadeth album!
Favorites:
+Hangar 18
+Five magics
