Meh. It's apples and oranges. Slayer and Bad Religion are going for two completely different aesthetics.
Reign in Blood succeeds at being an intense, vicious, pummeling album. The bit of
Suffer that I just listened to succeeds at sounding like poppy punk rock. It's weird that you're comparing the vocals here though. Tom Araya's vocals, while certainly not the focus, work very well in the context of Slayer songs. Greg Graffin's vocals, on the other hand, are one of the main reasons I've never been able to get into Bad Religion.
