Negative Positive
Title: Their worst I've heard so far
Review: After Slayer produced Reign in Blood, arguably the best metal album of all time, I guess they could go no further in that direction, and produced South of Heaven, a mediocre album that has some good songs, and some bad songs. I suspect that they tried to be more like Metallica with South of Heaven, in order to get into the mainstream rock culture and sell more albums. Some reviews say South of Heaven was their worst album of that period, but it's significantly better then Seasons in the Abyss. There are only a few decent songs on this album, and the rest sounds very tired and poorly produced. Slayers live album, Decade of Aggression actually brings to life some of the songs on this album, and I recommend getting that CD first and see if you like those songs. The title track is not bad, but unless you have heard it before and really like it, this album isn't worth getting.
Is the review positive or negative?
