Slayer - South of Heaven (1988: Def Jam)

Mix gives layers but
tones lack cohesion/Reign threat;
falls short of the hype.

  1. Hype??? This is THE standard of Thrash Metal.

  2. Many like yourself find South tremendous - great. I'd rather spend my time with Reign or even Seasons if I'm going the Slayer route. To my ears, calling South "the standard" is exactly that type of praise I think the record fails to live up to. Now Reign as a standard - I'd go along with that...
