Slayer - Reign in Blood
Review by NES

The year is 1986, slayer has had mild success in the music industry,
but not as much as Reign in blood would give them. I am not lying when I say
this is their best album. It simply blows anything they have done or ever will
do to bits.

The CD starts off with the masterpiece "Angel of Death". This song encorperates
provocative lyrics with excellent musical talent, it has to be one of their
best.

Next is "Piece By Piece". Although it is not very well known by many, its also
quite the masterpiece.

The thrash doesn't stop there. "Necrophobic" certainly picks up the pace, but
we still aren't done yet.

The fun doesnt stop yet! By now your head should be getting tired of
headbanging, but sadly, we're still thrashing through the track "Alter of
Sacrifice".

Finally, we're slowing down with "Jesus Saves", But only momentarily, as soon as
you get a minute into this song, it all picks up again and once again you are
left with a throbbing headache.

Criminally insane starts off slow like Jesus saves, but this time they stay
pretty slow throughout the song. So just slow down for a minute, and get your
head ready for...

Reborn. One of the best songs on this CD. Fast as hell with one helluva good
tune to it.

Epidemic is pretty fast, but not as fast as some songs on this CD. The drums
are pretty good in Epidemic as well.

Postmortem is next up on the list. It's a pretty slow song compared to some of
these, but its just as hard and heavy. You'll love it.

Finally, the highlight of this CD. The track we've all been waiting for.
"Raining Blood"!!!!. Raining blood has got to be one of their best songs. It
starts fast and just NEVER STOPS!!!! They never take a break in this song.
Raining blood really helps prove why Slayer shouldn't have gotten rid of Dave
Lombardo. He has some of the most insane double kicks known to mankind, and he
displays some of them in this song! Kerry King also shines in this song with
some of the best guitar solos in the history of slayer. I'm sorry if all the
other songs were not covered, but I just REALLY like this song.

Okay, I'll skip the crap. GO BUY THIS GODDAMN CD!!!! I dont care how much its
being sold for, YOU CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS CD. Listen to it when your angry,
listen to it when your sad, listen to this whenever the fuck you want, just make
sure you have this CD to listen to.

| Final Score - 10/10 |
