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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)

The first time I listened to this album I was a bit tired, laying in bed with lights out and all. I fell asleep during orion (great track though) and then damage, inc came storming in my subconsious. I felt like the angriest guy ever came into my room and started yelling at me and slapping me in the face. I'll never forget it. (Edited)
This track holds a special place for me. I was 15 when I first heard it and I had never experienced anything like it for it's pure brutality. Still nothing really compares and I own Reign in Blood.
It gave me nightmare visions of bloodied Damage Jackals ripping out the souls of their helpless victims. Perhaps I would be next as James asks me to take a step closer if I please.
Really Unforgettable.

Really forgettable. One thing is not to remember how a song sounds like, another thing is not to recognize a single moment of a song, that's how this song is for me even after many full listens of the album. (Edited)

This has always been my least favorite song on this album. Not sure why because it is by no means a filler. It just doesn't do much for me.

Wouldn't want Master of Puppets to end any other way.
