I was going to skip this but I wanted to make sure that thrash metal is amongst the metal genres that 1001 lists as my "least liked".
The themes here about Satan, blood, death etc are so cliched that this almost seems like a parody album, but I think the metal heads that revere this album will be seriously offended by that comment. This record is incredibly repetitive but also mercifully short.
Oh Dear.....Thrash metal, not a genre I like or are comfortable with. Can see very little in this album of credit in my opinion from the initial track "Angel Of Death" No matter how you explain it, it is about Dr Josef Mengele which as far as I am concerned is a no go area for items of entertainment, without proper condemnation, which I don't get from the song. Shock Rock at it's most distasteful. No earworms here.... reminds me of my reaction to post punk Oi! music, the world is not improved by it's existence! A no no from me I am afraid. Shouldn't be on the list.
for sure dude
Each to his own, but this is shockingly awful to me.
Wreszcie pojedynek ze Slayerem, wiedzialem ze bedzie to ciezki odsluch, ale czegos takiego sie nie spodziewalem, bo chyba od czasow junkyarda czy scuma takiego szrotu nie slyszalem, a takim wlasnie krazkiem jest w odsluchu Reign in Blood, czyli trzeci studyjny grzech popelniony przeciwko gatunkowi ludzkiemu przez Slayera, plyta z 86, ktora byla ich pierwszym albumem wydanym przez def jama, a jak def jam to nie moglo zabraknac pana Ricka Rubina, ktory stoi tutaj na strazy tego zeby uszy zostaly pogwalcone zwacymi brzmieniami gitarowymi, wspolpraca miedzy Rubinem a banda wychodzi poza ich tworczosc, bo jak na picku od Beastie Boysow slychac bylo pana Kinga, ktory jak sie dowiedzialem poza rwaniem gitarowymi rwie rowniez arkusze papieru i zamienia je na cos z pogranicza komedii i krindzu, bo nie wiem jak inaczej okreslic otwieranie plyty auszwicowym songiem, z calych 28 minut materialu bije taka prymtywnie agresywna energia, ze nawet tak krotki odsluch odejmuje czlowiekowi wiary w drugiego czlowieka z koszulka okraszona slayerowym merchem, ktory przeciez zalicza sie do topowych wyborow wszelakich kucow, przynajmniej za moich czasow, wiec o ile samo granie mogloby byc znosne, bo Rubinowska produkcja daje po uszach, to jednak kontent wokalno liryczny jaki serwuje w tym wypadku Tom Araya jest czyms co chce sie jak najszybciej zapomniec, a ze brak tutaj jakis wylacznie instrumentalnych utworow, wiec na plejke nie ma nic do dodania, poza nadziejami na brak kolejnych wydan Slayerowych na liscie
The drums make this album unlistenable.
No.
Wtf, I would rather shit in my hands and clap that listen to this!!!!! I finally stopped my ears from bleeding and my eyes have come back into focus now, after three tracks I realise that it is nothing more than noise with some kind of vocal attached to it, it’s a no from me. If I could give it zero I would do so
Opening track, Angel of Death, is obviously about Josef Mengele and his torture experiments in the Auschwitz concentration camp. I read that this was purely about their interest in the matter and they don't condone what happened. It feels a little too close to celebrating and glorifying an absolute tragedy representing one of the worst ever outcomes of humanity's existence. How can you feel alright with it knowing it will probably get into the hands of some neo nazis and become their anthem?? Totally grim. I actually can enjoy some thrash metal although it's not exactly my chosen genre, this makes me not want to listen to the rest of the album though. And it makes me angry. Update: I tried to listen to more of the album (4 more tracks) but I'm too mad, lol bye Slayer!
Eugh this was annoying on so many levels. Not just the terribly placed first track that Grace has described just all of it so unpleasant, how can you describe it any other way
What a load of shit. In the same way WWE is just a soap opera for hard men, this just consumer pop music for scary hard people
Monotonous and boring. Not a fan of instrument jerking.
Not my genre so can’t speak to why this record merits attention -- maybe the technical proficiency or speed of the playing? The extreme and outlandish nature of this record doesn’t make it worth knowing (in my view). The best that can be said is that you can barely hear the lyrics, which are apparently shocking. I hope these people are okay. Or were they just posing?
Not for me.
Appalling rubbish. Can't tell one track from another. Mad guitar - very fast but out of rhythm and key. Who likes this stuff apart from sad 13 year old loners?
Man, these vocals suck.
Stupid from start to finish. ZERO stars if it were possible.
Virtuosos del aburrimiento, suenan igual que Metallica pero sin las baladas. Todas las canciones son iguales. Esto no es heavy, es pesado.
Wow, this may be the greatest thrash metal album ever composed! … But, my ear holes say “No!”
I expected this to be shocking and it was. I was shocked by how boring it is. Next!
Every song the same
Ich verstehe es einfach nicht
i hate thrash metal
Hated it
Ma jok, žanr koji mi uopće ali uopće ne sjeda i ne paše.
une honte auditive, qui finance ces rigolos?
Just when I thought there was nothing worse than the Iggy Pop album. Are negative numbers allowed?
Boring af. Mostly very uninteristing guitarplay; the riffs are uninspired and the solos seem perfunctory. Within a song, the vocals sound the same throughout, no inflection at all. The lyrics seem to be nothing more than strings of "badass" sounding words. OK, it was heavy for its time, but what else?? Like or dislike, the other albums so far at least had interesting parts.
A little heavy for me
I am pretty sure if I don't hear this album before I die everything will be okay
Couldn't get all the way through. I'm just not a metal person. I will say there were sometimes some really cool guitar melodies.
not my thing too much screaming and too many satanic themes. the drums are too heavy as well and there isnt enough focus on the guitar which isnt too bad
No es mi estilo. No me gusta
Okay, yep. Still don’t like metal. Not sure I’ll make it too far into this one before I just turn it off. Yeah, I’m definitely not making it through this one. I think it’s probably the worst of the metal albums I’ve had on here. I think I’d give it 0 stars if I could.
Yeah, didn't like it then and it hasn't grown on me since.
Not my jam.
80 trash metal, energisk, temposkift, mørkt, elguitar
