I've tried listening to Reign in Blood twice, and I listened to it through all the way both times, but I was just bored by it. Am I missing something? All I hear is random screaming and mediocre guitar playing. To be fair, I was tired both times that I heard it. I'm going to try listening to it when I'm not tired, but I'd like to know what's so g*d*mn special about it and what I should listen for and such.

Give it few more listens, maybe sometime when you're driving or when you're feeling kind of pissed off. There's nothing random about it, each song is like a precisely sharpened razorblade. If you can't hear the structure I'm talking about, at the very least try and give the drums a close listen. Dave Lombardo's playing is sick as hell on that album.
