    Slayer - Reign in Blood (1986)

    was it though? My vague recollection of the metal heads in my area was that, over time, there was a major blurring of lines between rap and metal. Not sure how or why it came about but it was a given that you liked rap if you liked metal.

    fine, Anthrax. I thought of it later. anyway, just been listening to this thinking, fuck me this first song is long. Then I realised I was 4 songs in. Its not as heavy going as I expected, so far. Its actually pleasant enough listening, until he sings.

    was gonna give this a go today but ended up listening to Bowie all day. Will give it a shot tomorrow. Have never heard anything by Slayer before (apart from 'I'm the Man', assuming that was them).
