"Slayer" is the featured article on Wikipedia today.

Check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Turns out Reign in Blood is the heaviest album of all time.

Hahaha I don't know if you noticed, but that quote is from Kerrang.
I mean it certainly could be argued that it is the heaviest album. Problem with that title is there will always be an album in the future that is heavier.

Reign in Blood wouldn't even make my top 100 "heaviest" albums of all time.

No, this is spot on right. Vinyl albums weigh a lot, more than cassettes which weigh more than CDs. I can store 8GB (2000 songs) of modern metal crap on my ipod nano. Reign in Blood [vinyl] had only 12 songs and weighed more. Ergo, Reign in Blood is substantially heavier than modern MP3/AAC based metal and will likely be the heaviest album of all time, forever.

Perhaps your scales need recalibrated...

Hahahaha nice.
Especially if you find a 180g or 200g version of Reign in Blood.
Speaking of vinyl mass, some of those promos for thrash bands are on the super shitty like 120g. Standard is 160g. I'm sure you know which ones I mean, the flimsy as hell records. I'm surprised they still play at all after 23 years of WREKage.

HAHA Well played, sir!

I don't know about "Heaviest of all time." With bands like Napalm, Behemoth, etc... But certainly one of the Best Metal albums of all time. I mean, I suppose one could argue that such is not the case, but in that case I would believe such a person to be wrong.
Let the joyous celebrations of Hell begin!
