I don't want Slayer to be better songwriters. I just want them to kick my ass all over the place and it's such a cliched choice but Reign in Blood wins hands down all the time. I bought the album around a week after it came out and to this day i never skip a track if I put it on.
Apart from the fantastic title track I think that Hell Awaits is damn poor personally. Seasons In The Abyss is damn good too but so is South Of Heaven when the mood takes me. Undisputed Attitude has it's heart in the right place but I find it virtually unlistenable. Christ Illusion is seriously underated IMO.
On a slightly different note they are headlining at a small festival in Germany that I am attending and I am chuffed to bits. This will be the fourth time I have seen them and they are ferocious live.
