Seasons in the Abyss is better than Reign in Blood

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Why does Reign in Blood always get heralded as the best Slayer album when Seasons in the Abyss is superior? The riffs are more imaginative, the song writing is stronger, and the mood is more portentous.

Is Seasons... better than Reign?

I say YES

 

[divine_torture]

Who cares? Hell Awaits is better than both.

IBL...

 

[sevag00]

Hell no.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Eh, they're about equal. Seasons excites me less, but it has a real album's worth of good songs.

 

[DarkBliss]

Seasons is terrible, save for the title track.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Ummm, South Of Heaven is much better than Seasons, and Reign In Blood is a different beast to either of them.

 

[Doomguy]

Show No Mercy is where it's at, fellas.

 

[Belligerent]

Seasons is my fav Slayer album so yes.

[Belligerent]

not true but comical nonetheless

 

[Jean-Pierre]

South and Seasons both suck. The Metal Blade releases are easily the best, but Reign in Blood is great.

 

[Estellise Sidos Heurassein]

There's no way Seasons in the Abyss is better than Reign in Blood. I also think Show No Mercy is the best from Slayer.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Seasons in the Abyss is utter shit.

 

[cookiecutter]

Seasons has a lot of good songs but a couple bad ones whereas Reign in Blood is a homogeneously awesome suite.

 

[The Butt]

Ummm, South Of Heaven is much better than Seasons, and Reign In Blood is a different beast to either of them.

South of Heaven is Slayer's best album.

Seasons and RIB are both great too though and are on par with each other, albeit different.

 

[Caecius]

Show No Mercy >= Hell Awaits > The Rest

 

[mntwinsfan]

Show no Mercy and Hell Awaits are better than both. RiB is still a very good album, though, unlike Seasons.

 

[DarkBliss]

South of Heaven is Slayer's best album.

Seasons and RIB are both great too though and are on par with each other, albeit different.

I thought Slayer were a homogeneous suite to you. Mudst've been someone else.

 

[RedinTheSky]

Show No Mercy is where it's at, fellas.

Yes !

1. Show no Mercy
2. Hell Awaits

The rest.

 

[IntoPhagist]

SITA is one of the most overrated albums ever...The first 5 or 6 songs are good but the rest are bleh.

The order is

Show No Mercy
Reign in Blood
Hell Awaits
South of Heaven

And the rest I never listen to.
