5 out of 5 stars Slayer Rules! ! !.......2007-03-13

This is the best ever trash metal alum ever recorded! An album which amost everyone can enjoy! Don't say that you have the best metal audio collection if you don't have this album in your collection!.....Slayer rules!!!

3 out of 5 stars Metal Magic.......2007-01-23

Technically these songs are near perfect for the genre. The guitar and drums are phenomenal. The album is a masterpiece. Having said that, the music just doesn't move me. Unlike Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Metallica etc, which made me "feel". Slayer may be a near perfect metal band, but it lacks the magic and soul to make it truly noteworthy. Every song is nearly the same. Very little creativity is mixed with the obvious technical expertise. It's diffucult to appreciate the scenery when the car is always going a hundred miles per hour.

5 out of 5 stars Slayer's best album........2006-11-08

This is hands down the best slayer album next to Reign in blood but thats just my opinion. If your a fan of extreme thrash metal then you should get this, the songs range from everything to war, death, murder and destruction and the horrors of hell so the lyrics allways deal with a dark subject matter but that doesn't mean that this album is bad infact its a high quality album its just that not alot of people are gonna like this so its just a matter of taste. Drummer Dave Lambardo does a pretty good job within the fast and aggressive music and both guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman make some wild and blistering solos especially on songs like war ensemble and skeletons of society which are the best songs ever!. Tom Ayara is a good vocalist for this sort of thrash music and a very good bass player, all this makes for a whole and uncomprimising album not to mention the fantastic and underrated songs like Dead skin mask which was inspired by notorious serial killer Ed Gein and the song Hollowed point get this album now!.

5 out of 5 stars Just my opinion.......2006-09-06

This is just my opinion but this is Slayer's best album. I bought REign in Blood (otherwise known as R.I.B.). But i really didn't like the supreme fastness and the lyrics. You may be thinking 'what the hell is up with this guy'? but hey i'm just a person who has a different musical taste. Because of my past experience with Slayer i was hesitant to buy Seasons in The Abyss, after i heard about it in a internet site. But i had spare cash so i said "why not?". I went into the store and came back into my house. i popped it into my CD player, and i was spellbounded by the first track "war ensemble". Sure that song also has parts about death but mostly about war. Now, i have all of slayers albums. This album is great because its a mix between RIB's fastness, and SOH's maturity and heavyness. Its a perfect match! So if you hate finding Slayer on almost every metal listmania, give 'em a chance! You won't be dissapointed. With slaughtering tracks such as "war ensemble" "Spirit in black" "Skeletons of society" and the title track, you will be impressed. SLAYEERRRRR!!!!

5 out of 5 stars The best metal album ever!.......2006-09-03

THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM AND BAND I'VE EVER HEARD BETTER THAN METALLICA, PANTERA, MEGADETH, FAITH NO MORE ETC. ETC. ETC.
ALL OF THE SONGS ARE GREAT BUT ESPECIALLY WAR ENSEBLE DEAD SKIN MASK AND SEASONS IN THE ABYSS!
