There, I said it. The whole album is like 28 minutes long, and it still manages to have like 7 songs of filler. I mean, when was the last time you ran to the stereo, thinking, "holy crap, I sure would love to hear 'Altar of Sacrifice!'" There was no last time, because no one's ever said that goddamn sentence before! It's like the whole reputation of the album is based on the fact that all the songs kind of run together and that you don't have to listen to it for very long. Isn't that something you usually make fun of an album for? Whoopty-freakin'-doo. It's not the greatest heavy metal album of all time, it's not the greatest heavy metal album of 1986, and it's not even the best Slayer album of the 1980s. And Slayer never has been very good. Except for Seasons in the Abyss. But still.
