Don't take it the wrong way, "Reign in Blood," but as I see it, this is the true masterpiece from Slayer. A monstrous album, packed full of timeless tracks like "War Ensemble," "Dead Skin Mask," "Skeletons of Society," and the title track. It's worth noting that all this came at the beginning of the '90s, when perhaps the most powerful wave of thrash had already fallen into the clutches of grunge, and the attention surrounding this genre was slowly fading. An immortal work, the pinnacle of Slayer and thrash. (9)
