Was this their best album?

>>73257075
No, their best is Hell Awaits

>>73257092
elaborate?

>>73257092

this.

>>73257100
Best riffs, best song structures, best vocals, best soloing

>>73257113
Fair enough.

dead skin mask is definitely their best song

>>73257075
Reign in Blood is their best.

I know you hipsters wont agree and will have to pick another album to be edgy and obscure, but Reign in Blood is their absolute best.

>>73257154
Trash songwriting aside from Angel of Death

Hell Awaits tied with Show No Mercy.

Anything else is incorrect. South of Heaven is a cool album though.

>B-b-b-b-but muh raining blood

>>73257092>>73257075

Hell Awaits is definitely the most evil sounding album. Songwriting-wise Seasons is probably their strongest, temptation is the only throwaway on it IMO. Whereas reign in blood has 3 weaker tracks(Piece by piece, Reborn and Epidemic)

>>73257186
Show No Mercy is almost bad.
I agree with Hell Awaits though.

Why does he get so much shit? He's a great drummer from a technical standpoint, arguably better than Lombardo.

>>73257075

hell awaits or south of heaven are the best

can't really go wrong with any of the first 5 though

>>73257247
Because Slayer fans are faggots
>hurr durr he cant play angel of death like dave

Divine intervention is a really underrated album.
Killing Fields, Sex. Murder. Art., and Dittohead are all stone cold classics

>>73257315
Well, he can't.

>implying Lombardo can top this

>>73257075
Fuck no.

>>73257092
Fuck yes.

>>73257246
Show No Mercy has perfect songwriting and it's proto black metal at its finest.

>>73257346
It really isn't. It just seems that way compared to how egregiously people overrate South of Heaven because of the title track.

South of Heaven

>>73258077
Yeah, I suppose you're right. It also seems like a better album in context of what came after it. Perhaps "mildly overrated" is a better way to put it.
