The problem is that
Reign in Blood put most of what Slayer had released previously into the shade.

Balls to the Wall is often referred to as the perfect example of what a heavy metal album should sound like.

I do tend have a soft spot for Slayer's first release though, as it sounds like they are working with more traditional minor pentatonic scales instead of the chromatics of later years, which I was never too hot in.
