Rare UN-opened Un-played original Slayer Reign in Blood LP with warning sticker Great condition still in UN opened shrink wrap although it has some wear on the corners and the lower left corner has a light crease Please see Pictures for full detail I caught the flaws the best I can. (aside from the corners I would say the album were mint, but have a look for yourself)
I was surprise to find this Gem in my Father's mostly "Classic Rock" Record collection.... Here are some "FACTS" I pulled from the Wikipedia:
Reign in Blood was universally well received by both critics and fans, and was responsible for bringing Slayer to the attention of a mainstream metal audience. Kerrang! magazine described the record as "the heaviest album of all". Alongside Anthrax's Among the Living, Megadeth's Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? and Metallica's Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood helped define the sound of the emerging US thrash metal scene in the 1980s, and has remained influential subsequently.
Hanneman has since admitted that while the band was listening to Metallica and Megadeth at the time, they were finding the repetition of guitar riffs tiring. "If we do a verse two or three times, we're already bored with it. So we weren't trying to make the songs shorter—that's just what we were into," which resulted in the album's short duration of 29 minutes.[4] King had stated that while hour-long records seem to be the trend: "You could lose this part; you could cut this song completely, and make a much more intense record, which is what we're all about."[4] When the record was completed, the band met with Rubin, who asked: "Do you realize how short this is?" Slayer members looked at each other, and replied: "So what?"[4] The entire album was on one side of a cassette; King stated it was "neat," as "You could listen to it, flip it over, and play it again."[4] The music is abrasive and faster than previous releases helping to push the gap between thrash metal and its predecessor hardcore punk,[5] and is played at an average of 210 beats per minute.[7]
Stylus Magazine critic Clay Jarvis awarded the album an A+ grade, calling it a "genre-definer," as well as "the greatest metal album of all time."[11] Jarvis further remarked the song "Angel of Death" "smokes the asses of any band playing fast and/or heavy today. Lyrically outlining the horrors to come, while musically laying the groundwork for the rest of the record: fast, lean and filthy."
