Favorite Slayer Album?!

[JayKeeley]

I like how Testament came along with Skolnick on his clean tone Ibanez and Peterson on his black '59 Gibson Les Paul !!!! I mean, who plays thrash metal terror on a Les Paul? Eric Peterson, that's who!

 

[lurch70]

certain Testament songs and discs come across as kind of pretentious drivel to me ... Souls of Black and some other come to mind

 

[NAD]

Yeah, I sold all my Testament albums.

Alex Skolnick is definitely harsh though.

 

[JayKeeley]

That's because Souls of Black sucks ass.

This is their Reign in Blood:

 

[General Zod]

None of the Above.

Zod

 

[NAD]

Nobody beats Zod at disliking bands in terms of hilarity. Nobody.

 

[Eminor]

I gotta go with The Legacy as the best Testament.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

south of heaven, reign in blood and hell awaits neck-and-neck for second and seasons a close fourth

 

[JayKeeley]

[Demonspell]

Good to see Seasons and Hell Awaits getting their dues in this thread instead of Reign running away with the poll...and don't forget 6/6/06, blast those fuckers...

 

[Eminor]

Hell Awaits is actually one of my least favorite Slayer albums. But like you say, it's good to see this isn't a one horse race.

 

[NAD]

1. Seasons in the Abyss
1.001 Reign in Blood
2. Decade of Aggression
3. South of Heaven
4. Divine Intervention
5. Hell Awaits
6. Haunting the Chapel
7. Undisputed Attitude
8. Christ Illusion
9. Show No Mercy
10. Live Undead
29. Diabolus in Musica
44. World Painted Blood
201. Repentless
407. God Hates Us All

 

[ChaosLee]

Show No Mercy at 9? Wtf!

 

[NAD]

I disrespect, but still love, every bit of it.

 

[J.]

The shortest one

 

[Reign in Acai]

Seasons

 

[neal]

ya know, Diabolus aint no modern classic, but it is severely underrated and incorrectly accused of nu-metalism. if you listen carefully and objectively, the influences that are confused for numetal are actually hardcore and (subtle) industrial. there is no funk, there is no jumpdafuckup, no one is wearing a mask or rapping. yeah it's a bit slower and heavier and groovier. is that such a bad thing?!

 

[Vittra]

Lurch is that you? Have you come back to us through another vessel?

 

[neal]

i'm telling you, the new one is a return to form!

 

[J.]

relistened to Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood today. This is utter brilliant mediocrity. Tom Araya's vocals suck. Megadeth stomps Slayer.
