South of Heaven is Slayer's masterpiece.

@ Testicular Request
Which is the number one most overrated album of '86?

 

[The Ozzman]

My guess would be MOP

 

[Janga666]

Not surprising, coming from someone with the second most overrated album of '86 for an avatar.

FAIL #2

christ your opinions flip-flop more than is even fucking possible, there's no reason for anyone to take you seriously

 

[XSASweet]

Show No Mercy is Slayer's masterpiece.

fixed your post for you

 

[no country for old wainds]

the first three are all masterpieces, the rest are not

 

[XSASweet]

I've never listened to hell awaits though, how does it compare to SNM and RIB

 

[The Ozzman]

SNM > RIB > HA imo

That will probably change as the years progress though

 

[Zephyrus]

Man, and I thought I was pretentious and misguided.

 

[King Richard]

Man, and I thought I was pretentious and misguided.

I can understand debating Slayer albums. Everyone's got their favorite. But EDM? How in the name of all that is dark and evil is that over rated? Idiocy runs rampant..."like an ever flowing stream"... Couldn't resist.

But seriously. EDM rules. No over rating. Or is it because of the countless epic doom metal bands and releases saturating the scene at the time, causing one to have trouble discerning the good from the bad?

 

[divine_torture]

In fact there is. It's an album called "Epicus Doomicus Metalicus".

And you're a serious.

EDIT: Not really. I just like EDM. If you don't cool. But I do. Not a big deal either way.

 

[XSASweet]

I don't have EDM, I only have nightfall

 

[divine_torture]

Hint: it's for the lulz.

Hint: I got it. I just don't care. I like the album.

Hint: That's about expressing that I like the album.

P.S. I like that album. Lulz.

P.S.S. Lulz backwards is zlul. Looks like a name out of a Lovecraft story...

FAIL# 3. You are now officially a douche bag that knows nothing about good metal.

tbh he's a troll dude. Dunno why the mods haven't banned him yet - possibly because he moderates his trolling with just enough non-trolliness - but my guess is he'll be gone soon.

really wild foreboding stuff, instead of relentlessly pummelling away like RiB it waits and BROODS like a coiled snake, sometimes snapping into intense battering climaxes with their trademark sociopathic ruthlessness and control. it's almost demonic, you can almost see the blood and hellfire dripping from every twisted riff. the songwriting is unfathomably intelligent i think, they were in complete command of their medium at this point, it takes serious artistry to write riffs that curl around your mind like these. i really hope i'm getting across how brilliant this album is, GET IT!

Excuse me? I've been defending this album for years, not that you would know. You apparently have me confused with someone else.

yeah but you used to love RiB, you used to whine about jesus saves not being up to the brilliant standard of the rest of the album.

Epicus Doomicus Metallicus

bahhh you're not worthy of stepping inside that labyrinthine cobweb-ridden crypt of a record. right up there near the top of the '86 charts for me.
