Reasons Slayer’s Reign in Blood Isn’t a Good Album
Raining Blood is practically identical to Postmortem, Necrophobic is identical to pretty much every song on the album...It’s very repetitive and not one song sounds different from the rest.
Many songs by The Beatles are under 3 minutes, and even under 2, but here's the difference: if you play a short Beatles song at the Slayer tempo, you will get a 7 second long song. But if you play a short Slayer song at the Beatles tempo, you will get a 7 minute long song. Ha!
People praise this album for being so short, but I don't see why people do it specifically this album when songs this short are usually heavily criticized for this exact point. Most of the songs on this album are extremely underdeveloped
Honestly not a good reason to say it sucks, everything else is good though I wouldn't say it sucks just that it isn't their best album
What makes you think that only 3 songs aren't filler? Because I don't think there are filler songs on this album.
You can barely ever hear the bass, and the guitar is turned up way too high.
Hell Awaits was an incredible album. And to follow it up we get this album that’s almost nothing but filler?
Most of the songs are way too focused on being heavy than being good (Ex: Piece By Piece, Reborn, Epidemic.).
There are NO filler songs on this album.
The only song on this album with meaningful lyrics is Angel Of Death, which is about the atrocities committed by Josef Mengele, a Nazi in WWII. Otherwise, it’s judt a bunch of brutal, mediocre, generic lyrics.
The first five Slayer albums are considered perfect by most. Not me. Show No Mercy, South of Heaven, Seasons In The Abyss, and Hell Awaits are much more diverse, interesting, and each one sounded unique compared to Reign In Blood, which is two good songs and a bunch of mediocre micro-songs that do little to stand out from one another.
