Buddy of mine in HS turned me on to it. He wasn't into thrash metal. He was actually a heavy rap nut. One day he gave me a cassette and said, "Here, Rick Rubin produced this." I listened to it and was fucking amazed. The band is unfortunately prone to cliche, and has a lot of childish lyrics, but for pure musical ability, the drums/bass locking is unparalleled. Think Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman on enough speed to kill a small army. And the hooks in songs are so fucking catchy... Great Sabbathy switches all over the place. Really underrated stuff.
