Napalm Death were faster. Obituary were heavier. Autopsy were filthier.

Doesn't matter. I love those three bands but Reign In Blood sounds as fresh today as the day I bought it on vinyl in 1986.

I think every single song has it's own identity. The production is the cleanest sound you can ever get from such an intense album and every band member is on top form.

I still cannot find one single fault with this album after 25 years. Maybe I am being biased because of my age but I couldn't really give a flying ****!

I will say though that I genuinely do appreciate the OP review and it is well written and cohesive and sacred cows do have to be choped down now and again.

The only other album with that sheer intensity but still retaining control is Infest's Slave. They should put these albums in music class!
