this is and probably always will be my favorite thrash album. in my opinion thrash needs to be a little campy, it’s what makes it fun. this album was chock full of over the top satanic lyrics, fun as hell riffs, fully air guitar worthy solo action, and enough leather and spikes to outfit some weird german porno. as far as i’m concerned this was the absolute best slayer album. don’t get me wrong, the other ones are good, but tom and crew kinda started taking themselves too seriously forgeting that thrash is about fun, not macho posturing. in my opion this album and whiplash ‘Power and Pain’ are the best, buy them, bask in their ever so 80’s glory, and just rock the chuck out… hailz
