**💭 Thoughts:** I love this album. Many great riffs across this album, and a lot of the hooks are amazing. Also can’t forget Dave Lombardo’s flawless drumming, and in my opinion a huge improvement in vocal performance from Tom Araya compared to their debut *Reign in Blood*. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)
