I don't care how they sound...
it don't makes me like or not an album...

the only thing that I realy enjoy is the sound of the first edition of South... with the drums really louder than every thing else

anyway, once again we won't change our mind about what we like or not... but I don't remember GHUA so I'll try to listen to it again...

and I'll probably try to listen to the next one with Dave back...

The sound of an album isn't important to you? What do you do, look at them?

Decade Of Agression

MORE VOTES!!!!

It was a toss up between Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood for me but I gotta go with Reign in Blood that album is fast and heavy as fuck.

Now Playing: "infectious" by Overkill

South of Heaven because of Behind the Crooked Cross, Silent Scream, and Mandatory Suicide

Seasons In The Abyss! I love that album! Every song kicks ass, and I love the guitar playing on the album. Tom's vocals also kick ass, and so does Lombardo's drumming!

Reign In Blood...its simply the best thrash metal album ever made

for me its a 3 way tie between reign in blood, god hates us all and south of heaven

I will say Seasons just because basically everyone says Reign in Blood.

Reign In Blood, cause it's a big influence in the metal scene. Hell Awaits is a close second. Imo RIB could be a 1 long song excluding Angel Of Death and Raining Blood, cause all the songs are good but sound the same (there are also other kickass tunes such as Altar Of Sacrifice, Jesus Saves, Necrophobic and Criminally Insane).

GHUA IS MY FAV................KERRY KING JUST UNLEASHED THE INNER ASSHOLE WITHIN WITH HIS LYRICS AND I FIND THEM BELEIVABLE WHICH GOES A LONG WAY IN MY BOOK.


THEN........."THIS ONE IS FOR ALL THE LIL CUNTS WHO LIKE TO SPREAD THIER LEGGS IN NIGHT"
LIVE UNDEAD IS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE ALBUMS AROUND. WHEN I THINK SLAYER I PICTURE THE BAND OF SO LONG AGO AND THIS ALBUM REPRESENTS THEM BEST.

BUT THE BEST SONG IMO.........STAIN OF MIND..........WHEN THEY PLAY THAT SONG I COME UNFUCKING GLUED IN PIT..........JUST LOVE IT.

Ha ha yes!!!!! That song is total mayhem when played live I remember looking back and seeing nothing but fists being thrown. Live Undead is bad ass, but I heard somewhere that it was recorded in the studio with a group of fans brought it to make it sound like it was truly a Slayer concert. Has anyone else heard about this?

reign.

Where the hell is multiple votes when I need it?! I voted for RIB, but I also love GHUA.

"Reign in Blood" is easily my favorite Slayer album, but I just had to put "God Hates Us All" because of the new thrash feel. Also, I know a lot of people who hate Slayer because of Araya's vocal style, but really love "God Hates Us All" because he is definitely more in command of his voice than ever before. I (while loving his vocal style) would have to agree. Tom is definitely in his element on their newest release, and everything just falls in perfectly along with that. From the opening track, to the last "FUCK YOU!" anthem, "God Hates Us All" rocks forever!

Seasons has always been my favourite Slayer album. In fact, I might give it another spin now!

Reign In Blood...

john , were you high when you posted this ?



reign in blood has perfect production , sounds like a garage band givin it

all full tilt ...........and you can hear every instrument crystal clear .

I remember when i first heard R>I>B . i was fourteen years old , sitting

in a freinds garage , fixing our bikes . i was used to wasp - crue - metallica

maiden preist etc , then i hear these fucking chainsaw riffs , and speedy vocals

and rediculous high speed drumming to boot , and asked my buddy - what the

fuck are we listening to ? He handed me the tape of reign in blood , i was hooked

on high speed slayer forever since then .

My vote goes to Reign


By the way... "Christ Illusion" needs to be added to the poll

undisputed attitude. it used to be divine intervention, but i get sick of that one sometimes... but never get sick of undisputed attitude.

I haven't heard all of them but, Seasons in the Abyss is my favorite.

although reign is my favourite album .......... hell awaits , seasons , south of heaven , haunting the chapel are fucking masterpeices as well....

uh, show no mercy. no contest whatsoever.

Blasting our way through the boundaries of Hell
No one can stop us tonight
We take on the world with hatred inside
Mayhem's the reason we fight
Surviving the slaughters and killing we've lost
Then we return from the dead
Attacking once more now with twice as much strength
We conquer then move on ahead



~ evil MY WORD DEFY'S

point proven. thanks!

Now Playing: mutilator - butcher

I voted for R.I.B but i also would've like to voted for South & Seasons....They where also some great albums.

My favorite album would have to be Reign in Blood. Defantly. I love that album, the songs and guitar riffs are awesome, and brutal. However, I'm more into Cannibal Corpse, but Slayer is good too.

Personally i love all of Slayers records, for me its Reign in Blood which is probably my fav thrash album of all time whith south of heaven and decade of agression being runners up.

im gunna go with south of heaven on this one.

Well, I only have Reign in Blood. But I've heard songs from each album, and they all rule, including Christ Illusion

Haunting The Chapel

I added Christ Illusion on here.....since it is a damned good album.

other than it being pure shit.

Zoidberg:
1. hell awaits because it is the darkest and has my favorite slayer song ( necrophiliac) would be perfect but tom arraya only did his trademark shriek in one song

2. reign in blood is a VERY close second.vocals, guitars, drums, everything in that album is fast. all the songs are great on reign, but i have a major problem with it because some songs like piece by piece and necrophobic and reborn start and end so abruptly that they feel unfinished.

3. show no mercy cuz those are some freakin over zealous guitar solos.

4. haunting the chapel is just an EP but shit, it is the best EP i have ever heard! chemical warfare! :kickass:

5. decade of aggression. wow. (would have been higher but arraya gave a PATHETIC scream on angel of death)

6. seasons isnt as fast but it is still awesome

^^^^^ and yes christ illusion was shit i dont feel like making the post longer.

Oh Seasons and Hell Awaits are also amazing

REIGN IN BLOOD

It really is to my ears......


i can't understand why people give it so much shit....


ok the guitars may not have been the best of mixes but when compared to the early stuff, its definetly in the same vain and is deffo a good contender against DI, DIM and GHUA....


Flesh Storm rips and who can deny Cult and Jihad....classic.


At least its still thrash and not some alternate/blues crap that a certain band has released around the era of later slayer....


ALL HAIL THE KINGS OF THRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!




SLAYER FTW!

You're right about the guitars, but I actually like GHUA alot more.

as do i but still......

I totally revere all Slayer albums, including the much-maligned, misunderstood, under-rated ones like 'Undisputed Attitude', 'Diabolus in Musica' and 'God Hates Us All'. The only Slayer record that I'm very ambivalent about is the strangely melodic-sounding, rather dull 'Seasons in the Abyss'...This must come as a shock to most newbie/casual Slayer fans and even a lot of the older ones that seem to rate 'Seasons.....' rather highly.

However, my all-time fave slab of Slayer is 'Hell Awaits'. Tons of reasons as to why I feel that way. And 'RiB' and 'Divine Intervention' take silver and bronze in my book.

I voted God hates us all because it's the one i know better.... but Reign in blood is the trash perfection.

Diablous In Musica

Wow. Reign got the most votes. Big fucking suprise...

Divine>>Reign

EVERY time.

INCORRECT. Funny though.

chris barnes > george fisher
RIB > devine intervention
pinnapples > pears

and fresh dandelion own's the FUCK out of swiss chard!

no reason to make this into a Fisher vs Barnes debate Rob

i know - REALLY ?!?!?!


And arent we beating a dead horse lately with all this dandelion talk as well

are we ALL retarded lately?

The Texan speaks truth.

Jesus, the only correct statement is that pineapples slay pears. everybody knows that DI beats RIB, Fisher beats Barnes and Swiss Chard completely and utterly blows away fresh dandelion. It's all scientific fact.

Bravo to you fine sir!

REIGN IN BLOOD SUCKS.











































There, I said it.

now you're just being retarded.

Ok in all seriousness . I love - show no mercy , haunting the chapel , Hell awaits , RIB , and south of heaven - the other stuff doesnt really interest me , cause to me the music is uninteresting . The older slayer was waaaaaay more evil , satanic sounding - chaotic . I love some of the post Lombardo stuff - but not as much .

devine intervention , diabolus in musica , and undisputed attitude fucking rip! - just not the same as the old stuff .

....whatever....

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD.

So put that in your butt and smoke it, Roberto.

Seconded.....Chris, that WAS stupid...RIB is awesome....just nowhere near as AWESOME as Divine......

All I can do is shrug and say, "oh well".

other than Divine Intervention, this album is my favorite Slayer album. one of the best punk rock records ever. the record name says it all, the attitude on that album is just mindblowing. i also think that the ending track, gemini, is one of the best slayer songs out there.

has anybody heard the song they did for the Bride Of Chucky soundtrack? i think that that is probably my most favorite Slayer song ever.

gemini really shows slayer can be somewhat diverse , and still write a great song . As for the rest of the album ? Self expanitory kick to the nuts - awesome .

I honestly would give undisputed attitude a solid 8/10 ..........


But reign in blood ( to me ) is just not only slayers greatest record , its the greatest album made by anyone , anywhere , anytime 100/10

gemini is one of me favorite slayer song and i think its pauls master pice, just killer drums on that one...

[dohtml][/dohtml]

This is my favorite Slayer song.

ah yes, that one's on the boxset.

Haunting the Chapel.

Being against Reign in Blood is like being against metal as we know it.

Hell Awaits is my number 2, then Reign in Blood, then South of Heaven, then Undisputed Attitude, which I like a whole lot, just like all the albums I just named. Except the song I Hate You, that was pretty much shit. But DDAMM. Classic.

I dont care much for Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits or Haunting The Chapel.

I also thought that the song "I Hate You" is a classic. I'll agree that DDAMM is a classic, though.

I Hate You just didn't get that heavy feel I think the rest of the album has. Haunting the Chapel fucking rules, Chemical Warfare!

Yeah I was going to say....I agree with Vish about SNM, but Haunting the Chapel and Hell Awaits are badass......aspecially the title track to Haunting The Chapel. I dunno why, but I've ALWAYS loved that main riff in that track.

My favorite Slayer riff is that one towards the end of Chemical Warfare. They must have liked it too, because they used it again as intro to Ghosts of War

Yeah - haunting the chapel, when it came out - scared me. I just stared at the album cover ( for hours ) wondering If Satan was real or not -

dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dadadadada dun dadadadadada dun dadadadadaa dadadadadada dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.......

maybe not heavy, but it sure as fuck had attitude, and i LOVE the guitar solo on the song.

I've probably already said it earlier, oh well, but Hell Awaits has long been my fave Slayer album. The Haunting the Chapel EP was a brief but deliciously diabolical foretaste of the brilliance to come on Hell Awaits. As for Show No Mercy, I love its frenetic fury and it's got some mind-blowing tunes as well as less great ones. At any rate, I consider SNM to be the best full-length debut among those of the so-called Big Four at the time. I loved the deceptively slow-burn brilliance and ton-heavy song-craft of South of Heaven, despite most of the other fans I have known all along being all mixed up and giving it the iceberg treatment. For all the dissing of Slayer's output of the nineties, I honestly love 'em all, though I recognize and there can be no denying that Slayer had indeed already peaked and delivered their "best", in the past. Divine Intervention, Diabolus, Undisputed Attitude, GHUA could all be differentiated from each other in style, substance and execution, though all of them were superb albums in their own right.

The only Slayer album that I just never did enjoy at all is Seasons in the Abyss. Except 2-3 songs, I just found Seasons to be a far too melodic, mainstream-wooing, rather basic, uninspiring, boring album, to my ears. Christ Illusion also suffered a bit from being a 'comeback' effort that sounded too self-conscious and restricted and sort of insipid (especially some of the weakest, tamest guitar--playing I'd ever expect to hear on a Slayer record) instead of being the reckless, out-for-blood, take-no-prisoners affairs that Slayer is notorious for.

Anyway, what's with the new album and then (rumoured to be) bringing the curtains down on a glorious career??? Any news on that front that any of you guys have a clue about?

Meh, after like the last 4 Slayer records or so, there's been a big rumor-mill concerning their retirement. I can remember them saying they may hang it up after Undisputed....so I don't really give too much thought to that. Although the older they get......the more likely it is. You can see certain signs....especially mass-merchandising (which personally doesn't bother me, though to some "purists" like to cry about that shit for days) which usually intensifies towards the end of careers in music (to add an income buffer in retirement, lol) and all.

As for your assessment of Seasons....woah....I'm shocked, lol. Seasons and Christ Illusion are my favs after Divine Intervention. I personally think that Christ Illusion got much more bullshit than it deserved....mountains of people crying about it, when in all honesty it was the closest sounding record to their (arguably) best release ever.

seasons = mega win

christ = not too far behind it

You both make me feel guilty as hell for saying out loud what I truly feel about Seasons and CI.

**stands alone in a corner sobbing inconsolably**... I'm a Slayer devotee that thrash-almighty Slayer could do without.

I think they should retire. I mean, think about it: they really don't have anything more to prove, and they've had such an amazing run.
