Seasons In The Abyss

[Steve H.]

Is anyone else into this album? Their best in my opinion....

[Chilidem]

Not their best, but I enjoy it.

[Tzimisce]

7 good-to-awesome tracks. 3 fillers. Not the best percentage, but the majority wins out, since it's classic Slayer.

Which songs would you consider to be the fillers?

[Drowned]

It's damn good, but it's the weakest of their classic albums IMO.

[F0RBIDDEN]

Skeletons of Society is the only song I don't 100% dig on that album. Temptation is the most underrated Slayer song ever.

[m138jewski]

one of the best albums ever. doesn't top reign in blood for me, but still legendary.

[Mr.Bled]

just another slayer album I bought and listen to once a year if that! Good songs but not as good as reign

[Living Monstrosity]

the only slayer album I can listen to all the way through.

[Steve H.]

All i know is war ensemble is one of the best opening tracks in history

[Tzimisce]

Which songs would you consider to be the fillers?

Expendable Youth, Skeletons of Society, Temptation.

[Rottenatomy]

Expendable Youth, Skeletons of Society, Temptation.:emot-LOL: three of the best slayer songs, moron

[m138jewski]

Are you fucking serious?

Good lawd. If you think those are three of the best Slayer songs, you are truly beyond all help.

[Rottenatomy]

They are all great songs. fits the mood well. Skeletons is one of my favorite slayer songs.

[m138jewski]

skeletons of society is great. how is that filler? dum da dum dum dum

[Tzimisce]

Sure, if you like generic mid-paced rock songs.

[Rottenatomy]

my god, stop being a dick

[Chilidem]

It needs to be mentioned that the title track is one of the greatest metal songs ever written. It's so badass.

[KillingAddiction]

essential album

Indeed....More death metal bands need to make music videos in deserts

i loved when they played that on headbangers ball back in the day. ahhh good times

Haha...hell yeah dude. I still have a video tape my uncle gave me a while back with that video, war ensemble, and a live version of raining blood.

[Rottenatomy]

Love the Cymbal sound on seasons so much, makes the grooves sound special.

[Souldrain]

The sound is great on this album but it can't save it from being one if the weakest Slayer albums. Hell even Divine is better than this one. IMO of course.

[Woody]

Great album. dead skin mask ftw



south of heaven=win too

[cryhavoc]

divine is criminally underrated, but seasons has some classics.

[Chilidem]

divine is criminally underrated

Most definitely.

[Tzimisce]

Hell Awaits will forever be my favorite Slayer album.

[Rottenatomy]

South of Heaven for me.

[m138jewski]

reign in blood

[Tzimisce]

reign in blood
A very close second. But dammit, nothing can beat the evilness of Hell Awaits.

At Dawn They Sleep FTW!

[Original]

Truly an amazing album.
I think this album is Slayers most creative album ever, i think the balance between fast and more heavy songs, is just perfect.

All songs are all excellent in their own way, and the production is a good example on how it should be done.

And damn, Lombardos drumming, i mean damn, thoose fills and grooves.

[Tzimisce]

It's definitely Lombardo's best performance as a member of Slayer.

[Hideous Infirmity]

south of heaven > seasons in the abyss > reign in blood
reign in blood = 10/10

[Rottenatomy]

do you mean that South is better than Seasons and Season is better than Reign in Blood?

because the 10/10 given to reign in blood confused me, you slut

[m138jewski]

do you mean that South is better than Seasons and Season is better than Reign in Blood?

because the 10/10 given to reign in blood confused me, you slut

it means slayer > all. I agree with the man

[Hideous Infirmity]

That's what it means! I remember listening to South Of Heaven when I was 7 or something. I also got Reign in Blood for Christmas haha

[Tzimisce]

I also got Reign in Blood for Christmas haha
You made Baby Jesus cry that year.

[Nun Stampede!]

Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood are way better.

[PreserveVitalOrgans]

I think Lombardo's drumming is the highlight of Seasons...

I agree with what was said about filler songs, though. The classics on that album are classics for a reason-- War Ensemble, Dead Skin Mask, and the title track are all amazing songs. Blood Red, Spirit in Black and Hallowed Point aren't necessarily "classics", but they're great too. Everything else, though by no means "bad", just seems a little less inspired.

I think that Reign in Blood and Divine Intervention (followed closely by Hell Awaits) are by far the best Slayer albums because they have no low points. They just rip the whole way through, and there's a palpable enthusiasm from the band (a rare quality on modern albums).

I also think that the albums which people heard first/most during their formative years as music fans are likely to be the ones they speak of the most highly. If Seasons in the Abyss was a person's first Slayer album, then it probably defined the concept of "Slayer" to that person. They may go on to love everything, but that first album will still be their quintessential Slayer album.

[Rottenatomy]

it means slayer > all. I agree with the manah Okay. understood, agreed.

[RICE510]

It's the album that got me serious about metal, so it is my favorite, but I'll admit objectively that it's not their best.

[luciodeath]

it's an ok album. i would sell my seasons LP in case i need money. actually i think i will sell it to buy new strings.

[Rottenatomy]

[Moribund]

A very close second. But dammit, nothing can beat the evilness of Hell Awaits.

At Dawn They Sleep FTW!

The best album and the best song!

[Andromalius]

I actually own this CD surprisingly, and I bought it 6 years ago. And compared to all the Death Metal and Black Metal I listen to it seems so soft, i guess, but i still really enjoy it its no Show No Mercy or Reign In Blood but its definitely right after those two.

[Jordan5]

It's a decent album, I don't like Slayer all that much honestly.

[Cannibalistic_Horror]

Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood are way better.

Add Show No Mercy. I love that album. Maybe not as extreme or heavy as Reign In Blood or Hell Awaits, but still a damned fine album with very catchy songs. No filler just pure killer.

[CerebralCereal]

Dead Skin Mask

[luciodeath]

:emot-shak how much do you think you'll get for it?

i'm not 100% shure about selling it. selling LP's is always a dificult decision. i actually managed to buy new string today without selling it hehe
if you really want a seasons LP: http://www.mercadolivre.com.br/jm/profile?id=83887997
i already bought LP's from them, always in a great condition. My Never, Neverland LP is unbelievably new.

[Curto32]

1 Reign in Blood
2 Hell Awaits
3 South of Heaven
4 Seasons in the Abyss
5 Show No Mercy.

Beyond that, there is no Slayer.
