1001 Albums Summary

This album is a great example of thrash metal. There are several things I especially would like to mention. The main one is the tempo of the tracks, it’s incredibly speed. The vocals of Tom Araya are really hard to comprehend. At the same time the tracks themselves are really short, often less than 3 minutes (and the album is about 32 minutes) but nevertheless, they often include 1-2 guitar solos. And what is more, the drumming of Dave Lombardo is incredibly fast too, his fills and playing 16 notes on ride in an insane tempo are really memorable (as well as intro and outro to Epidemic). My favourite tracks so far are Raining Blood, Epidemic and Jesus Saves.
