Slayer - Hell Awaits

Will never understand why Angel of Death gets all the acclaim - Hell Awaits is a fucking masterpiece.

My brother took two Nugget comps from the library.

and

The first two Nuggets were awesomesauce. I had no idea they made more.

You mean Reign In Blood, right?

They are both good but I think that RIB shocked people at the time and got more hype so in the end it became kind of a blasphemy not to worship that one.

Amon Tobin- ISAM

I'm not really sure how I feel about this album. Its good. But when it comes to his music Amon=grovey music. This isn't like that. Its a lot mellower, and chiller. But I really don't know how I feel about it... Its just so different from his normal stuff...

I've always preferred South of Heaven, but I get why RIB was a sensation. Always thought Slayer were a little over-rated too. TBH with the exception of Megadeth there are other thrash bands outside the big 4 that I prefer to the big 4.

I agree with you there Tim, SOH was always my album of choice Slayer wise.  I have a very soft spot for Show No Mercy as well.

I never thought Slayer was overrated but I understand what you mean, it is difficult not to be overrated with their status.  What I admire most about them is their reluctance to change and go soft (*cough-metallica-couch*).
I've always thought Megadeth to be underrated also, heavily underrated though I haven't listened much to their later stuff.  If you want good thrash, listen to Kreator or Anthrax. 

np:
Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini
Scarve - Irradiant

or early The Haunted, or Exodus, or Testament

Of their recent stuff, I think The System Has Failed is Megadeth's best. It's a nice balance between the early, driven, classic thrash and the catchy melodic stuff they did in the 90s before the success they got with Trust led them to completely lose their way. Plus it has some solos courtesy of a certain Chris Poland.

I saw Slayer for the first time about a year ago. They were ok, but I expected more.
