I like Reign In Blood, but I think Seasons In The Abyss is a much more creative album honestly. I think their best song writing came on Seasons In The Abyss and that shows by how diverse it is compared to Reign In Blood where the songs nearly start to sound the same torwards the end. Great album though.

I really REALLY like Dead Skin Mask. Probably the only time that Slayer has benefited from the growth in production values post-Reign in Blood.

I still champion 'Hell Awaits', though. Reign In Blood, and Seasons in the Abyss are way to formulaic, and predictable. Plus Hell Awaits had those psychotically long insanely fast instrumental sections. Which for me, is what makes good Thrash.

I would put Hell Awaits right behind Reign In Blood. I remember the first time my mom saw that cover of reign in blood, she turned white and said what is wrong with you!!!! Nothing mom its just an album cover can i have twenty bucks i'm gonna go see them this weekend. No your going to church buddy, ok heres the twenty bucks.

I love that album as well, but I gotta say for me Seasons is their best album.

The 4 classic Slayer albums are:

Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss and God Hates Us All.

God Hates Us All is particuarly impressive, as it came out when NU-Metal was still popular and made a statement, by showing the NU Metal brigade what metal actually is.

The only two poor Slayer albums are Show No Mercy and Diabolus in Musica

Really? I thought God Hates Us All was pretty awful, but that's just my opinion.

And you don't like Show No Mercy? That album was great!

First two albums were very mediocre. The song disciple is pretty cool but the rest of the album loses appeal with each listen. They way overuse production tricks to cover up the fact they're so past their peak at that point.

Then again, I just like Disciple because it's ruthlessly anti-Christian. I'm sure it gets a lot more points in my head due to that.
