I thought I was the only one who did this! I always switch tabs with lyric videos ?

Not knocking you as obviously this was an important period for you but just for context speed metal was already spawned long before 85.
No worries - you're right, I should've been more precise and say it supported and built on what had gone on before.

In '85 Megadeth released Killing is my business... In '86 Metallica released Master of Puppets and Slayer released Reign In Blood. In '87 Anthrax released Among the Living. Each of these 4 albums had a seismic effect on the world of metal with each giving the bedrock to an offshoot of metal; Megadeth helped spawn Speed Metal, Metallica gave mainstream metal a shot in the arm, Slayer released the album that arguably laid the groundwork for Extreme Metal and Anthrax helped create Hardcore and Crossover Metal. It was after these releases that the term 'the big 4' began to be used.
Killing Is my Business...was a snarling angry beast, the band were tight has hell and fed off a Dave Mustaine still smarting after being let go by Metallica, the obvious classic was Mechanix but the album as a whole delivers like a punch in the gut.
Master of Puppets by contrast seemed determined to break the record for the best riffs ever laid down on vinyl. My own personal favourite is probably the least known track 'Leper Messiah' which stomps its way to a conclusion propelled by jagged riffing and James Hetfield's angry sarcasm delivering his disdain for organised religion.
Reign In Blood is simply a beast from beginning to end. The obvious stand-out track is Angel of Death but in reality there's no bad track, it simply crushes everything that came before it with a sound that always teeters right on the line of being out of control without ever actually crossing that line, it gives the album an edge that had never been heard before and rarely since.
Among The Living is to my mind a standout album from a band could that be criticised for producing a fair amount of filler on later albums until For All Kings was released. Every track has that New York punk attitude and creates a stomping masterpiece. Its no surprise that tracks from Among The Living often make a large percentage of the bands live performances.
Thats my 2p anyway
