I'll never understand the hate for Diabolus. When it came out, I thought it wiped floor with everything else that was happening in metal at the time. Still think it's great.
I feel the same way
I bought it on the day it was started selling. I heard Bitterpeace and that song made me crush my self to the floor. It is an excellent response to those Nu-crap at that time.
Exactly. It's a great album. It gets the hate for two reasons. Firstly because they changed their sound. Secondly because it came after their covers album, and everyone though fuck Slayer. In all honesty, they have not put out a bad album. And Diabolus sure isn't a bad album.
@@lidiaspazzard I honestly don't even think they changed their sound much at all, except tuning down. Maybe that's what people are hearing?
Its ok.
Totally agree RE Divine Intervention being underrated. Killer thrash album
Definitely underrated. Killer Thrash from 94. Cheers fella 👍
What a killer collection of Slayer records. Great ranking.
Cheers Steve, a very consistent discography here mate
Love all your reviews mate. Keep up the top-notch work!
Thanks man, glad you enjoy them
Great video Mr Boulder! No arguing with those top 3 classic records. All the best to ya mate.
Great Slayer ranking, James! I'm surprised Show No Mercy is low on the list. But, I agree with Diabolus in Musica; even though, I do like it.
Good ranking. Can't argue with the top 3. good to hear your thoughts on them. World painted blood is a great album and show no mercy is one I want to pick up as I like the sound on that one. 🤘🤘
Great ranking James! I've still got half of their discography to go. Yeah I'm not a fan of the production on Hell awaits, the bass mix is higher than the guitars you can't hear what's going on properly. Can't really argue with your ranking, even though for me Regin in blood is No.1 🤘😊
Need to step up my Slayer collection, only albums I have are the legendary Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood . Want to get Show no Mercy up next , cheers friend 🤘
Very nice ranking James! I am a huge fan of Divine Intervention (my entry to Slayer) and it is imo criminally underrated. Just shows the power of the album that might introduce someone to a band. Same goes for me with Metallicas Black album.
Some very cool songs especially 213 but the sound production is horrible
Hey mate, really interesting video! Yes, I agree that 'Diabolus...' is easily their worst, and believe it or not, my absolute favorite is also 'Seasons...'; just the perfect balance between the old and the new! In my view, 'God Hates...' is extremely underrated; "Exile" and "Warzone" are sick tracks! And of course all of their 80s albums are simply classic! Take care.
Great list !! I love Seasons as well
Seasons is a beast. Cheers for watching fella
New to the channel but really enjoying so far. Glad to see World Painted Blood get some love. Really good record so late into their career. Best album since Seasons.
Hi Rob and thanks for checking the channel out. Yeah World is a great album and quite underrated in my opinion
@@mrboulder9714 No problem and thanks for the channel. Really enjoyed your Megadeth ranking also. Like you I love music and collecting albums. Really going to enjoy watching all your rankings especially Maiden, Dance of Death album got me into metal when I was 12.
@@Robjones91 Thanks for your kind words, hope you enjoy the rest of my content
I really like that one aswell and the 3 songs they played live on the big 4 are great, title track, hate worldwide, and the slower one beauty through order I love that track.
Killer ranking!! Very similar to my Slayer ranking I did a while back 🤘Seasons number 1 for me also.
I've not seen your album ranking so I'll make sure I check it out this week mate
@@mrboulder9714 just showed my entire Slayer collection the other day also 🤘
@@bvdaussiemetalhead9338 Will definitely check it out mate
i agree with you on your ranking
Mid to late 80s,early 90s imo
Slayers best work!
That was definitely their peak period. Cheers
I have SOH as number 1. The vocals, the riffs, and especially the drumming (Lombardo's finest hour imo) propels it to the top of my list.
Yeah that is an excellent album and definitely flies under the radar sometimes. Cheers for watching
I agree it has the best sounding production overall aswell. The production on hell awaits and show no mercy are dull in the drums and guitars.
It's my third favourite after hell awaits and reign in blood but yeah it's my favourite lombardo album. Those fills on the last half of ghosts of war are mind blowing
Top video mate, seasons in the abyss is their best album in my opinion, I'd say your ranking is spot on, great band a big miss.
I wasn't a big Slayer guy but I did love the Divine Intervention album.
That album is very underrated. Thanks for watching
Great list. Obviously you were born in 74/75/76, because you started with Seasons as a teenager. Seasons was my first Slayer album I bought in 1990. I was 14 and I must have listened to it around 10000x. Still, Reign in blood is my Nr 1. Right after comes Seasons.
Thanks man. Yeah I was born in the late 70's, Seasons and Reign are both amazing album's. Hard to choose between them. Thanks for watching
Reign in Blood is my #1 easy. Absolute perfection. Seasons is a close second.
Good ranking, not miles away from mine. Divine Intervention is great and yes usually overlooked.
Seasons is a perfect record!
@davidzaso9332 It really is.
Definitely my favourite
My favorite album by Slayer is Seasons in the Abyss. Cheers!
Excellent album and worth of uts No 1 position. Cheers for watching fella 👍
I completely agree with your entire ranking. I love Divine intervention, and Seasons has much better songs than reign in blood.
I’d love to have heard you compare ‘Diablus in Musica’ to Grip Inc’s ‘Nemesis’ just for a bit of fun.
Cheers for watching and commenting. I've actually never hear that Grip Inc album. I'll have to check it out
I agree with your top 4. So glad you put divine intervention at number 4. but then Id replace hell awaits with show no mercy even if it sounds like a bit like maidenish lol.
Divine Intervention is a very underrated album. Thanks for watching and commenting 👌
my slayer album ranked:
1 - show no mercy
2 - south of heaven
3 - reign in blood
4 - christ illusion
5 - seasons in the abyss
6 - hell awaits
7 - divine intervention
8 - repentless
9 - world painted blood
10 - god hates us all
I respect your opinion on Seasons in the Abyss as your #1! I'm curious about why u didn't rank Haunting the Chapel? Was it because it was a EP? Was it too sloppy in your opinion?
Hi, yep the only reason Haunting isn't included is because it's an EP. Cheers for watching
I would love all these albums on Record :) I only got them all on cd :)
I have them all on CD too
Completely agree with your top choice. I always feel Seasons in the Abyss is slightly better than Reign in Blood.
1 hell awaits , 2 reign in blood , 3 South of heaven , 4 haunting the Chapel Ep, 5 seasons in the abyss, 6 show no mercy 7 God hates us all , 8 divine intervention , 9 christ illusion, 10 repentless, 11 diabolis in musica, 12 would painted blood and last that covers album, can't even remember the name. Cheers mate
Great ranking. Thanks for watching and commenting
1. Show No Mercy
2. Reign in Blood
3. Hell Awaits
4. South of Heaven
5. Seasons in the Abyss
6. World Painted Blood
7. Divine Intervention
8. Christ Illusion
9. God Hates Us All
10. Repentless
11. Undisputed Attitude
12. Diabolus in Musica
Daibulous in its rightful place
I just listened to the whole catalogue the other day and was surprised that besides God Hates...(which is their worst) not one of their albums is over 45 minutes long. We all know about Reign but when I put Seasons and South in and it says, like 32 minutes or something, and I went...'Really?'... some of their records like Diabolus and WPB were a chore to get through, but even they're only 40 minutes long. I guess Slayer knows how to get in quick, snap your neck, and get out fast, not a lot of extra filler there, unless you get a whole album of it like Diabolus. Also I hadn't thought about the song Mind Control for probably 25 years until you mentioned it, not a very memorable side 2 to Divine Intrvention if I'm being honest. Cheers.
Cheers for watching and commenting fella.
For me Repentless is definitely their worst... and hell awaits my favorite. South second, reign third
Nothing comes close to the feeling of hell awaits, you can also hear the Bass... blew me away when a friend gave me the tape in 84...
I don't like the production on that, the vocals are way to loud and the guitars are buried apart from on the solos but we all have different tastes I guess.
He'll awaits I'm on about.
Word has it that kerry or Jeff played bass on the albums. When you watch Tom play live he doesn't really do much
MY fave two slater albums are Reign in Blood And Hell awaits I like hell awaits cos you can hear the bass guitar and Reign in blood is my fave cos it just soo hell bent for leather. I do find it interesting that you like divine intervention more than hell awaits but its cool thats what makes it interesting. Diabolus is not that bad but I agree with what you said about it too :) my least favourite is the punk cover album. I thought repentless ewas pretty good though :) Great Ranking :) Slayer do have so many good great albums I don't think they have a ttruely alful album except the punk cover album maybe undisputred attitude
To me Divine Intervention is a criminally overlooked album, it's just a shame the sound is so muddy. Big fan of the Hell Awaits production too, nice to hear the bass so prominent in the mix. Cheers
@@mrboulder9714 well thats coool your right it probably is it might well bethier most intesne album I saw Slayer at the unholy alliance tour the first original one so they are one ogf my fave bands I have 6 slayer patches on my vest but my backpatch is Senjutsu Eddie
Hi Mr Boulder, how would you rank the big 4 "weakest" albums?
- Anthrax: Volume 8, The Threat Is Real
- Megadeth: Risk
- Slayer: Diabolus In Musica
- Metallica: St Anger
Would love to hear your thoughts! @MrBoulder
Interesting, not,really thought about it before. Its a good idea for a future video actually
@@mrboulder9714 could be an intresting video indeed! Thanks for your response
@@mr.random7078 You're welcome. Thanks for putting the idea in my head

All good stuff 👍
I have almost the same top 3, South Of Heaven is my number 2 and Reign In Blood number 3 and obviously Seasons In The Abyss is my number 1.
Reign and Seasons are 🔥🔥🔥
Agreed, both killer album's
The production on hell awaits and show no mercy let them down I think. If they sounded as good as south of heaven or seasons in abyss and reign they would be even better than they are I think.
I actually really love the lo fi production on Hell Awaits, not so much on Show No Mercy
Divine Intervention is very underrated imo
It's a massively underrated album in my opinion. Thanks for watching and commenting
Listened to world painted songs you mentioned they are good. I was wrong.
Yep, it's definitely got some really good songs in it. If there's one thing having this channel has taught me, it's that going back to albums sometimes makes you realise that an album that i used to dislike all of a sudden actually really liked after revisiting it. Cheers
@@mrboulder9714Yeah I think trying to appreciate it for what it is and not compare it is key. It is a lesson Ive learned before. Needed to remind myself.
Fun with the song starting with a lead.
I remember one doing that on the live double cd after seasons as well.
Captor of sin!
There should be a slayer album called heaven awaits!
Haha, that would be cool. Cheers
Surprised you put show no mercy so low. It’s not got the best production but it’s the blueprint and has a lot of strong songs.
It does have some very good songs, but some of it is also bang average stuff too
Show no mercy is my favorite
I love the raw sound of Show No Mercy
Seasons is a mixture of Reign's agression with South's complexity. Araya decided to 'sing' on south instead of yelling. South is my fave album cause of Lombardo's jazz drum fills.
South definitely gets overlooked because its sandwiched between Reign.and Seasons. It's an amazing album in it's own right. Silent Scream is one of my favourite Slayer songs. Cheers Dan
Divine intervention is my favourite
A massively underrated album no doubt about it. Cheers for watching fella 👍
My top 2 are
1. Seasons
2. South.
Both excellent albums that I never tire of listening too. Cheers fella 👍
Hello .. what about Death albums ranking
I have a Death album's ranking video. Please look through my videos and you will find it. Thanks for watching
@@mrboulder9714 yes I’ve just watched it .. thanks great ranking.. you have similar taste in music to mine
I’m in the minority, but I’m a fan of Diabolus. I wasn’t feeling it when it came out and I saw them on that tour. I like it better than the following albums. I’ve revisited Christ Illusion many times and can’t find anything I like about it. Their last few albums are a lot of filler imo. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite album. Their first five are just great.
Diabulous is ok, definitely some decent songs on it
I agree, Overt Enemy is even one of my favorite slayer songs. And I do feel the same about Christ Illusion.
Do your arms not get tired?
Haha, no they don't. Thanks for watching
@@mrboulder9714 You're welcome! I enjoy your analysis is cool, even when I don't agree. But after you flash up your LPs (which are lovely, BTW) you should just superimpose the artwork in the corner, or plain image with the track listing, or even a contemporary photo of the band (if you can find them). I think that would be a cool addition to the channel. Or even have some kind of stand. Maybe it's just me but at the moment it seems a bit fidgety and distracting. 😆
Cheers, dude. I've subbed.
Show no Mercy is an Iron Maiden album.
Haha. Crionics is very NWOBHM, but the rest is thrash
I would put the first 5 in the top 5, with Hell Awaits on top, and after that God Hates us all, Divine Intervention and Diabolus in Musica. I don't care much about the rest of the albums.
Cheers for watching and commenting. Divine Intervention is an underrated album. Love the raw production on Hell Awaits, its part of its appeal
@@mrboulder9714 Cheers! Yes, Divine Intervention is great, bought it immediately when it came out and instantly loved it from the opening riff and drums till the end. One thing that makes Slayer so good is that every album has it's own character, it's own sound, they are all unique. I listen to them for over 30 years now and it still doesn't go old.
Top two are the same for me but the other way round - Reign in Blood has got to be number one for me. Hell Awaits is an odd one never really been able to click with it for some reason - and it almost sound too evil if that's possible for Slayer! Love World Painted Blood definitely my favourite of the later years genuinely scary and aggressive without being gimmicky plus some awesome grooves. Hanneman was always my favourite Slayer member so it kind of ends there for me, it just doesn't seem right without him.
I love the raw sounding production on Hell Awaits. Yeah World Painted Blood is a great album, Snuff is my favourite on that one
It's the production on hell awaits, the vocals are way too loud and the guitars are buried in the mix and sound muddy apart from the solos. Also the drums sound round or flat, lacking punch.
reign in blood
south of heaven
haunting the chapel (got to count it even if it's an EP)
hell awaits
divine intervention
show no mercy
seasons in the abyss
god hates us all
diabolus in musica
christ illusion
world painted blood
repentless
Great ranking here fella
I've included haunting the Chapel too. Brutal as fuck
1. Seasons. 2. South. 3. Reign
Cheers for watching. Good to see Seasons at number 1
hot take, but I like Divine Intervention better than Seasons these days
Divine Intervention is excellent and massively underrated as far as I'm concerned. Cheers for watching and commenting
What? Every hard-core Slayer fan knows RIB is absolutely #1.
No. Every hardcore Slayer fan knows that everyone has their own opinion, and for me, Seasons is their best album. Thanks for watching
You think Christ illusion is better than show no mercy? It’s time for your medication 💊 go see your doctor right away.
🤣🤣🤣
For me, first 5 Albums must be ranked worst to best as it is original order, and then, WPB < Repentless < Christ Illusion < DIM < Divine Intervention < GHUA. Greg Fidelman who made also last 3 Metallica albums really ruined WPB album. Those are the worst guitar tones and mix I have ever heard for Slayer and Metallica. Hopefully Terry Date made the Repentless and the album Itself had a very good sound.
Cheers fella. Yeah the guitar sound on World Painted Blood is very thin and not the best at all.
Divine Intervention > Seasons
I love Divine but prefer Seasons
Show No Mercy being #9 is blasphemy
@fiends8908 As this is my video, it's therefore my opinion. So it's fine if you disagree
@@mrboulder9714 Idiot
@@mrboulder9714 Idiot
Funny - I am convinced Kerry King is the reason they started incorporating the horrendous nu-metal “influences”.
I honestly don't hear any Nu Metal in any of Slayer's music. Cheers for watching
@@mrboulder9714 I mean tracks like this one and the second track on Diabolus, for instance. Funnily enough they were both written by Hanneman. th-cam.com/video/9xbIb4U2gpA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CGixBR2YvUmH4E5O
I stopped buying Slayer after Divine Intervention. I will buy interesting bootlegs , but not new Slayer. Slayer died with Jeff Hennemen
Christ Illusion and World Painted Blood are decent albums. Cheers fella
@mrboulder9714 true, but they sprinkle in that "Nu metal" and "breakdowns" too much on later stuff. But it's okay 👍 I continue to blast South of Heaven in my chevy camaro, lol. That Rick Ruben mix sounds so good driving 🚗 fast
Man you are Too Metal. Calm down!
Haha. Thanks for watching
Scrum disagrees with you.
Cheers for watching
This guy loses all credibility with where he ranks Show No Mercy, stopped watching there
You could have stopped the video without making a big statement about it. Someone else who clearly has no comprehension about someone having an opinion different to your own 😏
