South of Heaven is the last good Slayer album anyway.

I disagree. Seasons In The Abyss had Self Titled, War Ensemble, Blood Red, Dead Skin Mask, Hallowed Point all of which were great - amazing in terms of quality.

Reign in blood isn’t that good of an album either. I mean it has 3 or 4 AMAZING songs (Angel of Death, Raining Blood, Altar of Sacrifice) but as an album overall it’s quite boring and repetitive in my opinion.

I definitely think it’s overrated but Necrophobic, Criminally Insane, Reborn and Postmortem easily stand on their own and I’d put Necrophobic and Postmortem > Altar of Sacrifice any day of the week. The only song I really didn’t like all that much was Piece By Piece but even that song as a riff or two that I like.

Hell Awaits… Now THAT’S an album.

Agreed. Masterpiece through and through and without it Death Metal wouldn’t exist.

Oh wait, Frink doesn’t like it so it’s all garbage.

He hasn’t listened to it or anything similar. I’m sure he hates Maiden too.
