What are you guy's opinion on Show No Mercy? Should I get it?

F[size=2]u[/size]ck yes!

It has some of their best work. My 3rd favourite Slayer. Well, 4th favourite if we're including [I]Haunting The Chapel[/I].

Hmm... I might have to look into that then.

At the moment I can't decide which is better, South of Heaven or Seasons in the Abyss. This is hard!

hmm.. it's hard for me too, though I haven't listened to SOH nearly as much as Seasons.

Neither have I, but SOH has a way of getting me hooked on it. At the beginning of this school year I must have listened to that album 15 times through.

This is the only negqative thing about Slayer! All there albums are equally good! Too hard to decide which is better:confused:

No, they're not [I]all[/I] equally good. RIB, SOH, and Seasons all just happen to kick copious amounts of ***.

I'm not that big a fan of Hell Awaits.

I am! The guitaring just sounds so er smooth (couldn't think of a better adjective).I think they're worst was probably Diabolous but that was still quite good. They only play Stain of Mind live usually don't they?

i'm thinking about getting a new album from slayer, what do you guys recommend ? south of heaven, or hell awaits??? i"m pretty confused
i have RIB, Seasons, and god hates us all, i find RIb their best, and "seasons" and "god hates us all" equally good but not as good as RIB.

SOUTH OF HEAVEN..............................or divine intervention.

I'm really fond of Exile and Payback.

Tbh i'm not too kean on Exile. Off GHUA my favourites are: Disciple, god send death, New faith, Here comes the pain, and payback.

I think that whole album is cool to me because of the production, that combined with lower tunings is just much heavier.

I cant believe so many think SoH is a really good Slayer album. Most of the Bostaph stuff is better than SoH. All the tracks on it sound a bit "flat", not as in pitch but in depth. The only one that's at the right tempo for the song is Mandatory Suicide. SoH itself is a brilliant song, but only when performed live. My favourite version of it is on Live Decade of Aggression.

I like the one on War at the warfield.............what's this? A good performance on WATWF:amaze:

Bostaph ruined Slayer for me. Dave has made Slayer and there music.

Every track other then Ghosts Of War was great on South of Heaven

I don't like 'Cleanse the soul' either.

If you want some pretty fast riffage and awesome songs get Hell Awaits.

NP: Read Between The Lies
This song used to be my favorite song by them before I got Hell Awaits. I still think it has some of Slayer's best lyrics.

Or if you like the modern day heavier sound then get God hates us all.

South of Heaven and Reign in Blood are the 2 best albums to start on.

[QUOTE=SimonCore]Or if you like the modern day heavier sound then get God hates us all.[/QUOTE]

God Hates Us All is the only decent album of the last 3 or w/e new Slayer albums.

Seasons was the last time they were great.

Yeah, but Divine Intervention has it's moments. Such as Dittohead or Serenity in Murder.

Divine Intervention was better than GHUA. I haven't heard Diabolous In Musica yet, and I don't intend to.

Personally I think Divine Intervention is their worst album.

Yeah it's a waste of time. The only semi good songs on that albuma are the first 3.

GHUA had good tracks. Half of the album was good.

Disciple, God Send Death, New Faith, Exile, Bloodline, and Here Comes the Pain

I used to like those tracks when I was new to Slayer.

I can't stand them anymore though. Tom vocals are horrible on GHUA.

so is war at the warfield a good dvd? i wasnt sure, so i got still reighning-------which i think is awsome, but i may get war at the warfield.......

south of heaven is their only great record.

[QUOTE=gojira_from_mars_tosirius]south of heaven is their only great record.[/QUOTE]


haha. Quoted for idiocy.

My rankings of the albums,

1. Show No Mercy
2. Reign In Blood
3. South Of Heaven
4. Seasons In The Abyss
5. Hell Awaits
6. Haunting The Chapel
7. God Hates Us All

The rest not worth ranking

Don't bash me for ranking Hell Awaits 5th... I love the album, just not to the degree I love the others.
