Your comparison to Master of Puppets was spot on, highlighting Ride the Lightning's foundational significance. Although it's just my opinion, another album that could be compared in terms of genre-defining impact is Slayer's Reign in Blood. I loved your writing style and how you approached this—brilliant.
Thanks for the kind words, Jon. Also, thank you for reminding me about Reign in Blood…. it’s one of Slayer’s best. Perhaps you’ll have something to look forward to in the future ;)

Looks like I’m late to the party for this one :)

Gotta set some Slayer on the docket before the end of the year now …
Thanks Jon! Shout out to @Evan McCrea, who did a great job with this essay. :)
Fantastic stuff!
Thanks for reading Steve! :)
My goodness, it sounds like quite an experience. I’ve never seen them live. Hopefully, I can change that in the near future. Thanks, Michael! :)
