Kill Em All slays. Looking at it as a thrash album is kind of misleading though. Sure it kicked the whole shebang off, but it's far closer to the NWOBHM than to Slayer or Exodus. One of the best traditional heavy metal albums of all time.

Not to mention that the cover of "Am I Evil" from that time period blows Diamond Head's version out of the water.
