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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

'85:e Better Late
The Setting: Survey says Exodus were a year or two late to the party. That by the time Bonded By Blood arrived, Thrash history had passed them by. Thrash had evolved, and Exodus were so last year's Thrash fashion. So we can just forget about them, right?
The Listen: Wrong! Riff for riff this is as good as ANY of the celebrated albums of The Big Four. Sonically and compositionally it's closest to Metallica's Kill 'Em All, but it has riffs all of its own and, if anything, is even more aggressive, fierce and primal. Besides, I'm on record for wanting MORE of that raw First Wave Of Thrash sound, and Bonded By Blood delivers that and then some.
The Verdict: Simply one of the best Thrash albums of the entire 80s. It'll easily slot in my Top Ten Metal Albums of 1985 right up there with Megadeth's Killing Is My Business.... Don't sleep on their massively underrated follow-up - Pleasures Of The Flesh - either!
The Rating: Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Amazing, one of the best thrash metal albums ever created!

I have to start by saying the vocals are just really hard for me to digest although even they have a few moments that are heavy and fucking awesome.
The music however carries this album. The riffs are scathing and memorable. And Then There Were None and A Lesson In Violence are the best here for me.
If (and only if) you ever get tired of listening to Kill 'Em All (& why would you), [i]Bonded by Blood [/i]provides more of the same at just a notch (okay, maybe two) below Kill 'Em All caliber (& urgency). A solid (if decidedly second tier) answer for your Kill 'Em All riff addiction.
