For the first time, I agree with you. The riffs of Blood Red and Dead Skin Mask are my favourite Slayer riffs ever.
Slayer gets on my nerves. I can say, however, that I do enjoy the classics "Reign in Blood" and "South Of Heaven". Other than that, I could honestly care less about them. Roots or not, I'd rather listen to something a little less boring.
Show No Mercy was, and will forever be their best release. With any luck, GHUA will forever be their worst.
OK don't get me wrong, I really like Slayer and they're fucking bad ass, but their lyrics suck. But they still kick ass. Oh, and I liked God Hates Them All just as much as fucking Reign In Blood, a lot.
Excuse me? Slayer lyrics suck? Aren't you a bodom fan? Hah! "1. Warheart [Music/Lyrics-Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho] I'm an outcast on the path of rebound Everything is frail, I desolate, crush, and burn I have chosen darkness to be my guide War is in my heart, death is by my side [chorus] Warheart! With no remains of compassion or love Warheart! Hate your fellow as yourself I have chosen night to be my guide When the daylight strikes, I hide in my trench and die [chorus] Warheart! With no remains of compassion or love Warheart! Hate your fellow as yourself I'm the warheart, I'm dying to win the battle I live everyday One for all and all for me, I'm an animal, better set me free" Bahaha. Lame.
