The album that is particularly UNDER rated IMO is their collection of hardcore/punk covers, Undisputed Attitude, an admittedly stupid name for a great collection of covers. The only REALLY bad song on UA is the one original boring boring song that concludes.
I agree with you on Seasons In the Abyss, though I think that the title track is easily one of the best songs they ever did. It's still a damn good album, but it's too much a business-as-usual album. They definitely peaked with Reign In Blood, and nothing since has been anything particularly special.
