It's the second best Slayer album, followed by Seasons in the AbyssCoincidentally, Seasons in the Abyss and this one has more groove and less double bass autism singing about "satan look at me i'm a goy please satan look at me haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh" The music in both albums is complex. Riffs are heavy without too much distortionThey spent time working on the songs instead of screaming trying to be edgyThey abandoned Season in the Abyss more groove metal and traditional metal because the audience wanted to go back to the first album of autistic double bass drumming
>>130666021There are no good Slayer albums. It's all Tom Araya screaming in a different key than the songs, chromatic guitar riffs and solos that is just fast and random.
>>130666588you described the best part of slayer.
>>130666021Season in the Abyss is kinda ass. South of Heaven perfected the slower style. Season just sounds gay for most of the album. Reign is the obvious best. God Hates Us All is the best "modern" Slayer.
>>130669153That's because Hanneman wrote almost all of SOH without Kerry Kween.
their best is this akchully

>>130666588>There are no good Slayer albums. It's all Tom Araya screaming in a different key than the songs, chromatic guitar riffs and solos that is just fast and random.I truly feel sorry for all those who are unable to appreciate the unique greatness of Slayer's music.>>130669153>South of Heaven perfected the slower style.South of Heaven started it. Good album, except for the stupid Priest cover and the mediocre Spill the Blood. Araya singing is weaker too. Seasons has no weak points.>>130669226>That's because Hanneman wrote almost all of SOH without Kerry Kween.Seasons too... And in SoH Kerry wrote three of the best tracks: Silent Scream (great Tom lyrics), Mandatory Suicide and Ghosts of War. And the worst, Spill the Blood, was wrote by Jeff.
>>130669646>Seasons has no weak points.The "child voice" ending of Dead Skin Mask is laughably bad.
>>130666588you don't approach slayer just like you approach a more melodic thrash metal bands like metallica or megadeth, it pretty much boils down to different strokes for different folks. i appreciate the pure chaotic energy coming from the band although i admit it's kinda hard separating which tracks belong to which albums.

>>130669369>GUILTY OF BEING WHITE >GUILTY OF BEING WHITE>GUILTY OF BEING WHITE>GUILTY OF BEING...RIGHTWTF how could my favourite wholesome chungus uber progressive anti-racist trans metal band do this to us sisters??????
>>130666021Why's that skeleton taking a shit
>>130666021Cover looks like skelly bro is sitting on a big dild kek
>>130666588and they are pretty much gay as much as most of metal shiteven their albums covers are gay
>>130666588Seasons of the Abyss not good?
>>130669646Priest cover is decent. It has great guitar and drum groove. Who cares about vocals, Slayer is good because tight drum and guitar. I hate the autistic first record meme speed metal plus screamingSouth of Heaven is a totally ok album, it was just Kerry Meme King being obnoxious and overindulged thinking he should have written more but could not come up with riffs
RIB > Seasons > DI (just wish the mix was better) > SOH > GHUA > CI (nostalgia talking maybe) > rest i haven't really spent too much time with to judge
