The five hundred and seventy-sixth album: #576 Slayer - Reign in Blood
Slayer, through the length and intensity of this album, has stripped down metal music to its bare roots. It's an ongoing assault of guitar riffs and surrounding sounds, with anything else cut from the songs, and it becomes too much quite soon after. Even at half an hour for the total length, halfway through a lot of the album starts feeling similar, the dark lyrics become meaningless and a bit farcical and it just tries to do it too much. A song would be good, the full album is already too far over the top.
