these days, i think only Jesus Saves and Angel of Death still stand up as "good"
i'm also of the opposite camp that likes slower Slayer, which actually sounds "heavier", i.e. South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss
hey, just because it's slower/sludgier, doesn't mean it ain't better

Man... Duce, you are fast reader-- I just posted this. We agree, and I like that "Jesus Saves" sticks out for you as well. We only disagree on "Angel of Death," which I mentioned in the review as a stand out, but only because it's the first track on the album and all the fuss it created. So for me, it does stand out, but I actually think its the worst track on the album.
