Seasons in the Abyss is definitely on par with Reign in Blood, and the songs are far catchier.

Maybe it's just in the circles I travel in but my impression is that
Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and
Seasons in the Abyss are generally regarded as kind of the holy trinity of Slayer albums. I don't think
South of Heaven is up to the level of the other two though, which is why I think it's kind of overrated.
