A to-the-point analysis of the hows; whys; and wheres of everyone involved. Song-by-song analysis; a breakdown of the recording sessions; an observation of how this album impacted the metal community; details of the problems with getting this album released; and dont forget an overview of Slayers Metal Blade years....If youre a Slayer fan; you need to pick this one up NOW. If youre not a fan of Slayer but like the 33 1/3 series for its attention to detail; then youll like this book. And if youre a casual music fan whos heard of this album and wondered why people talk about it to this day; then you should read this book.12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Death to sell outs!!!By Brian A. HickamFerris has done his homework and interviewed a sufficient number of people; especially those directly involved. Hes obviously a huge fan also; which any author who tackles one of these 33 1/3 books should be. The book is a highly enjoyable and informative read; even for those of us who remember waiting for this release. I learned a few things. "Reign In Blood" holds up incredibly well and; as the author and those interviewed state; it continues to be highly influential. I give much respect to the editors of this series for including it.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great afternoon read.By OleBear1969Info about the band; the circumstances of how the album came to be; the story behind the cover art; breakdowns and stories about each song. Quotes from just about everyone involved and fans and other musicians who see this album as the work of art it is.The material presented in this small book provides proof that this is THE definitive thrash metal album.CONS: It takes a bit to get through the "SLAYER RULES" and "F*%^G SLAYER" repetitiveness for a chapter and a half. Id knock off half a star for some of the annoying time-jumps the book goes through.Its a very quick; informative and entertaining read. For under $10 there is no excuse for Slayer fans to miss it.
