      Necrotic Nick- As much as I love that one I tend to favor Hell Awaits through Seasons in the Abyss personally. Black Magic and Die by the Sword are still some favorites to jam.

      I thoroughly enjoyed this video very much and was interested in how you all ranked Slayer. It was very fair. The early albums are hard to rank because a lot of them are so good, the latter half is hard and I already know my two turds already. However, definitely one of my all time favorite thrash bands and also very influential in how I play my music today

      Jesus. Ranking Show No Mercy lower than anything after Divine Intervention time wise? Hell no. None of the first 6 Slayer albums should ever be ranked worse than #6 imo. Rank those first 6 however you want but none of them are worse than anything that came after chronologically.

    My favourite Slayer record is Seasons in the Abyss. The diversity on that album--fast songs, slow songs, mid-paced songs--is unparalleled and I would argue that it's the perfect record to introduce someone to Slayer because it's got everything they do well in one package. Reign in Blood is a close second and Show No Mercy is my third.

    I must be one of the few out there that ranks Divine Intervention in his top 3 with Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven. It's one of their most technical riff wise and absolutely showed that thrash metal wasn't going anywhere without a fight in the era of groove metal and grunge reigning supreme. Between Fictional Reality, Serenity in Murder, and Mind Control the album is a 37 minute ripper that doesn't get enough love.

    Great review guys. Personally I would have Diabolus further up the list. Yes. ...it's a bit different but it has a creepy edge to it that I have always liked and of course great artwork even if the new logo didn't quite win us over! Enjoy that album better than most of the others that came after.
    Loved the Diabolus live shows too. My first show was on the Reign In Blood Tour in Edinburgh Scotland, April 1987. 😎🤘

I never liked, and still don't like Christ Illusion. I still like World Painted Blood, but rarely listen to it, and thought Repentless is their worst album.

    I remember my little stoner buddy James putting various Slayer albums on while I was hanging out with him at his house in 1988. I couldn't wrap my mind around them. I was too into the Metallicas, the Megadethes, and the Anthraxes. I knew of Nuclear Assault but hadn't at that time heard them, Exodus (not proud of this) didn't impress me as much at the time (at the time), Overkill I liked a bit more but I just couldn't understand (at that time) what Slayer were. I knew they were thrash, but I didn't know what black metal was though I'd seen the first two Venom albums but hadn't even thought of a band like Bathory. Death metal was still a couple years away as far as me finding out what that was, but a few more years before actually getting into it more in the mid-'90s (there's a whole story behind that lol). I will say, even though I wasn't the biggest Slayer fan then or now, you can't beat 1980s Slayer (including "Seasons in the Abyss"). I also remember hearing them in the movie "River's Edge"...

And the next morning when I brought it to work to play for everyone...started playing it...and....9/11 happens. Totally took the wind out my sails. Was soooo stoked to play new Slayer for everyone...and nobody cared anymore. Still a great disc to me. Payback is still a great track! And looking back on it, that track totally fit everyone's mood the rest of that fateful day!

    HELLo to Shredlord, The Tommie, Jammin' Jon and Necrotic Nick,
    ... here is my ranking. A bit late, I concede, but keep in mind that I've discovered your channel only recently.
    Here it comes (I start with the assbomb and end up with the three highlights):
    #13 Undisputed Attitude (Punk meets Slayer? NO GO!)
    #12 Diabolus in Musica (You've said all about it - no further comments necessary)
    #11 Repentless (Jeff, you are missing!)
    #10 World Painted Blood (quite a remake of 'Christ Illusion')
    # 9 God hates us all
    # 8 Divine Intervention
    # 7 Christ Illusion (btw, it had been released on my 45th birthday)
    # 6 Haunting the Chapel (an EP only, but 'Chemical Warfare', 'Captor of Sin' and 'Äggressive Perfector' make it worth mentioning)
    # 5 Show No Mercy (excellent material, but: no budget - no 1st hand producer - no good sound... a pity)
    # 4 Hell awaits (the music on this album keeps the promise given by the album title)
    # 3 South of Heaven (highlighted by the title track, along with 'Mandatory Suicide' and the incredible anti-abortion song 'Silent Scream' (the latter hadn't been mentioned in the comments)
    # 2 Seasons in the Abyss (unites all virtues of the former Slayer releases, with an excellent production)
    ... and last not least, my favourite Slayer album:
    # 1 REIGN IN BLOOD
    (Slayer's answer to Metallica's excellent 'Master of Puppets', which had been released approx. 7 months before Slayer's masterpiece).

    @doctorphibes601 2 года назад +1

    First off; i like these rating videos a lot. Good work guys, eventhough i do not always agree (but that doesn't matter..taste differs) I do notice that you guys are probably(?) a bit younger than me..that shows off in the choices you make in these rankings.
    As far as Slayer goes. Hell Awaits was my intro to the band. By far the most atmospheric they did imo. Ofcourse RiB is thé milestone. Its maybe the ultimate thrash album, but on the other hand it's totally not because of the hardcore/punk influence..1986 was the era of crossover and it shows on the album. Not as say SOD or Nuclear Assault, but still it's there. Production on RiB is timeless. But that makes it also a tiny bit less atmospheric/evil than Hell Awaits.

  • @mattirealm
    @mattirealm 2 года назад

    Nick's comment about the track "Spill The Blood" is spot on! The closer to South of Heaven just starts with this evil riffage and the lyrics are also badass. Solid album from top to bottom.

  • @Everthustodeadbeats

    show no mercy has got to be 1 or 2 for me- i love their early first wave black metal/ speed metal sound so much more than their later stuff.
    i remember being a kid and hearing reign in blood for the first time and being actually scared shitless. i had to turn it off. but somethng kept calling me back to it....
    also haunting the chapel fucking rules too....ground breaking legends \m/

    hey guys! I just want to give a few thoughts on Repentless as i have finally listened to the entire record and also it seems to get a lot of hate. I think Kerry did a really good job with the instrumentals and it was cool to get one last offering from Hanneman (rip) in 'piano wire' The vocals where a bit off in parts just too loud and out of place.. Good tunes though the last songs riffs were giving me Earth Crisis vibes funny enough. It would have been better with just ten songs i think ten is perfect for an album album anytime is see like twelve songs i automatically start thinking filler..just give us your best ten. loI I think it's an 8/10 album. Sorry just wanted to get that out. I haven't done my own ranking yet..cheers.

    Great vid guys, but totally disagree about Undisputed Attitude, it's a really good album! All the songs they chose to cover are great and they gave them their own unique Slayer twist. Also Gemini is a fucking cool song, killer riff, great build up and release towards the end. I listen to more punk than metal though, so maybe that has something to do with it. :-)
