Although Reign in Blood is generally regarded as Slayer's magnum opus, for me personally Seasons In the Abyss is definitely Slayer at the peak of their musical and lyrical prowess. Building on their two previous albums they delivered an album which had all the speed and brutality of Reign in Blood as well as the much slower mid-tempo groove of South of Heaven.

  I believe it's the best Slayer album, "Reign in Blood" is the Second and then "South Of Heaven".

Rating: 9 For me, best Slayer album. after that I stopped listening to them, just they are not worth it anymore, it hurts my ears to listen to them, this album is dividing them like Metallica "black album"...prior to that all great, after that all sucks. the same goes here, with this album, last good one.

Rating: 9 This is personally my favourite slayer album. I mean reign in blood was fun to listen to, and south of heaven was a step up from that, but seasons of the abyss is where slayer arrived in their prime, and delivered some truly amazing songs, written straight from the soul. I mean,the opening track and the title track are amazing enough for me. perfect 10.

Rating: 7 Never really understood all the hype about this album. I love War Ensemble and the Title Track. Other than those 2 it gets kinda boring. Probably Slayer's least heaviest. Dead Skin Mask is a good one too... All Slayer's previous albums i find to be way better than this one.

Rating: 9 A personal favourite, in which this is an example of slayer at their most 'experimental'. I'm not saying 'reign in blood' or 'south of heaven' were that much worse, just that this one has more consistency.

  Probably their 2nd best after reign in blood. The highlights are the title track, war ensemble and born of fire. But there other great songs like blood red, too. Slayer is one of my absolute favourite bands but this is really the last album which impressed me from start to finish.
