kind of a pedestrian topic for this forum but ...
The internet has exposed me to opinions I have never heard before regarding this album, here's a poll to see what maniac metal collectors think.
(all options are ones I have seen expressed, if that isn't clear)
Please post choices not covered below, I'm honestly interested in your opinions. |

I voted #2, there are indeed a few good songs on it (Criminally Insane, Angel of Death, Post Mortem and Raining Blood) but the others are fillers.
They lost with this album the special atmosphere they had on the first two. |

I don't like South Of Heaven that much, I don't consider RiB a classic, but still a decent record.
It's the option that came closest. |

I voted for "best record ever", which it obviously isn't, but to me it's definitely Slayer's best record ever. It's simply a classic. The first and last songs are the best but everything in between is great also.
My 2nd favorite Slayer record is Seasons in the Abyss and 3rd is Show no Mercy. Those are also great. I have never cared that much for Hell Awaits actually, and not South of heaven either. |

with mordred here. although not "the best metal record ever" (if only because such a thing doesn't exist) it is one of the, say, 20 best and the storm part of "Raining Blood" is one of THE moments in metal at all. even if it's a Black Sabbath rip-off 
Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits and South of Heaven come close, I personally don't care too much about Seasons in the Abyss |

| ... A decent record with few classic cuts. I hardly ever listen to it these days though and much rather put Show No Mercy, Haunting The Chapel or Hell Await when I'm in a mood to listen to some Slayer. |

| None of those, though it's relatively close to being their best. Some times I think it is, but usually it's one of the first two for me. Don't really listen to anything they've done after RiB as it bores me silly. |

| I picked "Shit. Their only good record is Show No Mercy." I don't think Reign in Blood is shit, but they never did anything as great as the first one. Anyone who thinks Reign in Blood is the best metal album of all time must be on crack. |
