I like the chaotic sound of Reign In Blood. I love it when bands copy that album's sound. That's what a lot of early death metal did. Hell, if Seasons had that sound, it would actually be good. As it is now, Seasons is about as interesting to me as a Testament album. I'll change my statement earlier about Seasons being generic and I'll concede that the music on Seasons is the most ambitious album Slayer ever wrote, but it has such a dull atmosphere it makes that totally irrelevant. "War Ensemble", "Spirit In Black," "Hallowed Point," "Skeletons of Society," and the closing track come the closest to sound like their earlier material, but the rest of the album is whimpy ****. It's about as far removed from the satanic sound of Hell Awaits, or the punk-y sound of Show No Mercy, or the chaotic, visceral sound of Reign In Blood, or the doom-y sound of South Of Heaven as you can get.
That's it. I've said all there is about my thoughts on Seasons.
