Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer

Pros: Each and every second. The cappacino you drink while listening....
Cons: The fact I do not know what to say.

You all want brutal? Evil? Go out and read "The Three Little Pigs" now THAT is brutal. I mean that wolf..he is just so disrespectful to those pigs. He goes over "My name is Wolfie and I'm going to blow down your houses for no reason!" how appropriate is t ...

Pros: Diverse, loud, and heavier than a brick sh*thouse
Cons: You will go to hell for listening to it

Mmmmmm Slayyyyerrrr. Slayer's been around since the very early 80's, they actually started out as a joke band, you know like "Well, let's see how over the top we can go with this Satan thing...", but they eventually evolved into a absolute powerhouse of...

Pros: Ten killer tracks, one great record.
Cons: One "filler" track.

Ahhh, the ever cynical heavy metal crowd. The majority will probably tell you Metallica's Master Of Puppets is the greatest metal album of all time. Some will give that honor to Slayer's Reign in Blood, others Megadeth's Rust in Peace. A few even mention ...

Pros: AN ESSENTIAL AND EVIL METAL RECORD, PACKED WITH KILLER SONGS.
Cons: SOME OF THE GUITAR PLAYING IS SO FAST, IT'S SLOPPY

As a Jedi growing up in NY in the 1980's, my musical tastes were influenced by many of the local hardcore acts like Agnostic Front, Sick of It All, Murphy's Law, Sheer Terror, Token Entry, Underdog, Burn, Warzone and Gorilla Biscuits. I also had...

Pros: War Ensemble, Dead Skin Mask, Skeletons of Society, Seasons in the Abyss
Cons: Dave Lombardo's last album with Slayer

With Paul Bostaph taking over in the drummers chair for Dave Lombardo he drastically changed the sound of Slayer as a band. This album is the last with Dave as the drummer. Dave Lombardo was the essence of Slayer. Sure Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman's twin...

Pros: If you like it brutal, these guys are IT.
Cons: Make sure Jesus isn't watching when you listen.

God bless their black, evil hearts. I can't imagine how Dave Lombardo kept his arms attached during War Ensemble, or how Tom Arraya keeps the lining in his throat attached during... well... anything. It's one punishing riff after another, and every...

Pros: One of the better metal albums ever, very influential to the 90's.
Cons: Couple of weaker tracks... But rest of album makes up for it.

1990's Seasons in the Abyss from Slayer truly set the standard for what metal was going to do in the 90's. This release is probably their best, though close to Reign in Blood. Regardless, at a time when many metal bands were softening up, Slayer was...

Pros: truthful, complex, real
Cons: there can't be Tom Araya is in this band

Well now dont be discouraged by the name Slayer, as it might frighten weary and dull headed it is only a name. Their name does describe what they do however. But the name is not to be taken literally, you see it is the audience that is slayed or in...

Pros: Thrash metal at its finest
Cons: none

Ah, Slayer. Just the name brings back such fond memories. . . Aching neck from the involuntary head-banging, hang overs, black trench coats and spike collars. It puts a smile on my face.

Way back when Metallica wasn't cool and Vanilla Ice...

Pros: awesome and unique tracks proving that Slayer was staying true to their roots
Cons: none

Slayer's "Seasons In The Abyss" is another smashing classic of their's. It came out in 1990, which was the dawn of a new decade, and a lot of metal bands from the 1980s were slowing down with their styles, but Slayer remained true to their...

Pros: "Seasons in the Abyss" the best song on the album
Cons: there are none that i can find

When it comes to trash/speed metal one band that comes to mind is Slayer. In this album they don’t disappoint with the Seasons album. Opening with "War Ensemble" you can hear the classic Slayer sound of fast guitars and drums with Tom Araya vocals ...

Pros: Slayer's best album
Cons: Lombardo left & downhill from here

Seasons in the Abyss is my favorite Slayer album. It's an excellent mix of heavy, aggressive, and at times melodic songs. Nearly a concept album IMO.

Unfortunately SITA is Slayer's last album with Lombardo. Slayer returned to formula with...

Pros: A great cd with very heavy songs and excellent lyrics.
Cons: I have nothing but good things to say about this one.

This is where we see the entrance of "new" Slayer. It is still the same old scare you to death and send you to hell band we have all grown to love, but on this cd they get a bit more technical with not only their music, but the lyrics evolve as well. ...

Pros: Every single song is spectacular
Cons: I wish their were more songs

Slayer has alot of song writting talent and it shows through in this cd, which I believe is one of the greatest ever. The vocals and music are both really great. Tom Araya has never sounded better. Such classic songs as War Ensemble and Dead Skin Mask...

Pros: Watch your ears they may bleed. SLAYER takes hostages on this one.
Cons: Might scare small children.

“Propaganda war ensemble, burial to be” and some of Slayer’s finest stuff all at the same time. This album is brutal metal at its finest, thunderous bass and drum, lightning fast riffs, scorching guitar solos, and lyrics about war and murder I mean with...
