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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

This is the big four thrash metal band
Testament looked like they might set the standard for thrash with their first few albums, but they fell into something of a rut thereafter.
Their first three albums are phenomenal. They came on a little after the big four debuted but in terms of quality and impact, they have to be considered alongside them as one of the premier thrash metal bands.
"Practice what you preach" it's my favourite album of Testament and i want to put in my favourites but it isn't here.And why Overkill it's not on this site?They have one of the best singers ever
