Slayer vs Metallica

Not exactly sure why but Metallica has never really been that great in my eyes. Ride the Lightning is their best album, but I still wouldn't call it great. Slayers got 3 albums better than anything Metallica has ever done so Ill vote for them easily.

Only 3? I'd assume you'd have said 9.

I'd agree with 3. One Slayer album in particular makes nearly every faves list that is unbefeckinglievably overrated IMO is Seasons in the Abyss. Aside from War Ensemble the songs are well below the quality of any song on Reign In Blood, and the recording quality is just abysmal to my ears. 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.

Wow, definitely have to agree to disagree on that one. That said, you have perfectly described my feelings about South of Heaven.

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.
