On the other hand, Slayer's early work just seems to grow more relevant with time. Call me weird, but I'd take "Hell Awaits" over "Ride the Lightning" any day.

I am not a huge Metallica fan but Hell Awaits is a terrible album apart from the brilliant title track. I still prefer many other Thrash bands to Metallica though and agree that they are talked about far too much.
