Slayer looks cheesy now because bands copied what they did on
Reign in Blood et al. so many times that it got watered down, and Slayer became this proto-typical extreme thrash band. You have to remember that
Reign in Blood was banned from radio and earned the band fierce allegations of Nazism, and that the members were satanists, etc. People also legitimately thought their music was worthless noise that was trying to corrupt you or something. The PRMC had Slayer on their radar from day one with
Show No Mercy.
