Pleasure To Kill vs Reign in Blood

[mutantllama]

So I was lurking /mu/ and I found a retarded argument about which album is more aggressive/better/etc. Both were released in the same year, and both pushed the boundaries of what was br00tal.

*edit* They even both have the same amount of words!

 

[Zephyrus]

Hell Awaits

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Reign in Blood.

 

[Eviscerater]

Never really cared for Kreator, so I'll go with Reign in Blood; even though Hell Awaits is better.

 

[CF87]

Reign in Blood.

How about the "mutantllama is a jerk for creating this thread/poll" option? Because you are a jerk. Jerk.

 

[GhostVoices]

Hell Awaits was the superior Slayer album, if you ask me...

 

[Omni]

Hell Awaits is the best Slayer album, but that doesn't stop Reign in Blood from being an amazing album.

PtK is really good and all, but Reign In Blood is obviously better. I love how if you mention the word "slayer" someone reflexively mentions Hell Awaits even though it's NOT RELEVANT TO THE FUCKING THREAD.

 

[The Ozzman]

The best Slayer album is Show No Mercy. You all are wrong.

Because it's pointless to devote an entire thread to arguing the superiority of albums at least one of which is not the band's best.

I voted PtK because it is the pinnacle of German Thrash, and perhaps all Thrash if not for...I don't know, HELL AWAITS???

I mean, the thread was created to discuss RiB vs PtK, so maybe we could try that briefly before talking about HA.

Anyhow, PtK is definitely the heavier, more brutal album, but I think as an album RiB functions better.

I hate the production on Hell Awaits... thus Reign gets my vote as the better Slayer album.

 

[Slayed Necros]

RiB

 

[Krow]

RiB is my obvious answer... I dont really like Kreator much though...

 

[Caecius]

Endless Pain > Pleasure to Kill

Hell Awaits > Reign In Blood

I voted Pleasure to Kill.

 

[Sexton Hardcastle]

Reign in Blood. Can't think of many that can match up except for Puppetz, Forbidden Evil and the Legacy.

 

[Belligerent]

I'm also with you there, but South of Heaven is even better than RiB imo. RiB wins this poll for me though.

This. Also, South of Heaven sux balls.
