Reign in Blood

This is pretty short and on a CD. I want to bring it up to GA class. I need to know whats it missing, what can be expanded and how to word the response section better, etc. Thanks M3tal H3ad 12:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't the Columbia Records ban be better under the "Controversy" section? LuciferMorgan 00:40, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The Unholy Trinity of 1986 - never heard this phrase before. An inline citation please? LuciferMorgan 00:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Information on the recording of the album please? LuciferMorgan 00:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

What specific info on recording the album. M3tal H3ad 00:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Something like is done on Chill Out (KLF album). LuciferMorgan 00:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Igor Cavalera, the former Sepultura drummer, cites 'Reign in Blood' as an influence in this Blabbermouth post. LuciferMorgan 00:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Dave Lombardo interview where 'Reign in Blood' is mentioned here and there. Some info might be useful. LuciferMorgan 00:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The 'Still Reigning' DVD could be mentioned where the album was done in full - here's a Blabbermouth post where producer Kevin Shirley comments on mixing sound on the DVD. LuciferMorgan 01:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Tom Araya interview where he comments on 'Reign in Blood'. He says "'Christ Illusion' comes close, but, in my opinion, nothing can surpass 'Reign in Blood' for intensity and impact. No one had heard anything like it before. In the 20 years since then, people have got more desensitised. What was over the top then, might not be now." LuciferMorgan 01:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Kerry King interview where he comments on Rick Rubin's production on 'Reign in Blood'. LuciferMorgan 01:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Blender magazine call the album's cover art as amongst the top 10 of all time. LuciferMorgan 01:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

O.O Thanks I'll see what i can do. M3tal H3ad 01:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Larry Carroll did the cover art for 'Reign in Blood', and subsequently for 'South of Heaven', 'Seasons in the Abyss' and 'Christ Illusion'. This might be worth a mention. LuciferMorgan 08:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

A guy for the Montreal Mirror refers to 'Reign in Blood' as a thrash metal classic etc. in an intro to this Lombardo interview . LuciferMorgan 09:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Cheers, with the location would i put it under the Production and marketing(is that even a good title :S) section, and the time it took to record? which I'm sure wont be hard to find. M3tal H3ad 09:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The chart performance and sales I'd put under the "Reviews" section and rename that specific section. The location I'd put under "Production and marketing" yes - I'd drop the marketing name as I don't think it has anything to do with the article. I'd rename the section "Recording of the album" or something along those lines, and add the location, recording time etc. LuciferMorgan 09:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

An excerpt from August 2006's Decibel magazine, which offers an oral history of the band. There's a whole ton of quotes from the band on the album. Of particular interest to me is a Larry Carroll quote which relates a bit of information on how he came to do the cover art - this could form part of two possible subsections in the "Controversy" section ;

1. First on the cover art, such as how Carroll got involved etc. which can be rewritten from the quote in the article, other info from the second Carroll quote, Columbia's refusal (already written in the article), and then the Blender magazine top 10 cover art list which is linked above.

1. Second on the Mengele controversy as you've already done. I'd replace the Rockdetector cite with a Lombardo quote from the Decibel article where he says Columbia dropped them etc. Rockdetector is known for being inaccurate at times and is unreliable as it relies solely on ordinary people sending in information - all you gotta do is email info (whether true or false) to info@rockdetector.com and its then included in a band bio. That makes its reliability flimsy. To make this subsection altogether more astute in its observations, you could briefly mention Slayer went on to utilize Nazi imagery such as in the band logo and later did the song "SS-3" about the prominent Nazi Reinhard Heydrich (its worth noting that Hanneman also wrote the lyrics to this song). If you wished to really get into the whole 'Angel of Death' saga you could rewrite the song's actual article if you wanted. LuciferMorgan 09:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Woo, thanks for all the help. I changed almost everything you mentioned, still looking for recording location, (will post on slayer board when my account is activated). As for Rock detector when reading it from top to bottom i encountered only 3 errors, year of judgment night soundtrack release, a track that said Godzilla soundtrack when it was Spawn and something else, (sent an e-mail just earlier today). I tried to change some references but it is a good site for info, regarding who they toured with, how they get a contract and stuff. If it was nominated for Fa would you object because of this?, i can try change some references if you wish, thx again M3tal H3ad 10:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

o and do you think its worth creating a stub on Carroll, get rid of the red-link which stands out a lot. M3tal H3ad 10:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Rockdetector has more errors than you think - I used to do interviews for them (check the name Anthony Morgan under their 'Interviews' section) and I've picked out a few errors too. I don't do interviews for them anymore due to copyright reasons etc. If you could change the RD cites with other sources, that'd be best I think - I always prefer interviews to use. For old touring buddies, I'd use old interviews. Would I object? Nope, but I wouldn't support either. LuciferMorgan 08:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

It's up to you whether to create a stub on Carroll - I'm not sure what else he has done apart from some Slayer artwork covers. LuciferMorgan 08:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

The way the info is arranged under the "Controversy" section is odd to be honest. You've mentioned the artwork won an award before even saying who did it etc, - its poorly arranged. LuciferMorgan 08:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Changed controversy, the only other thing i got on him is whats mentioned here (NYT etc) :\. I'll see what i can do regarding sources. thx M3tal H3ad 08:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I changed the "Controversy" section again as the arrangement was changed to another odd one. Each section in the article should have an intro - mentioning who created the artwork and then saying about controversy is an odd arrangement, but saying the album was controversial and then the subsections going on to explain why is much better and more accessible to readers I feel. If you dislike it you can always change it. LuciferMorgan 08:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Official Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards listings for this year - where 'Reign in Blood' won the award for Best Album of the Last 20 Years. I'd add the cite myself, but your inline citing style is much different to mine. LuciferMorgan 09:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Jeff Hanneman interview where he names the album as his fave and explains why. LuciferMorgan 09:20, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

What section would comments made on the album by members go under. I also remember something that AOD and necro had like 200bpm or something(can find it out) not sure where it would go though. M3tal H3ad 09:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments regarding the quality of the album. by Slayer members, or other bands, would go under "Significance". LuciferMorgan 01:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll see what i can do tomorrow, thanks. M3tal H3ad 13:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

New Tom Araya interview where he compares the differences in lyrical matter from Hell Awaits to Reign in Blood. LuciferMorgan 23:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
