I think SOH has some very very good tracks...SoH, Silent Scream,
Ghosts of War and Behind The Crooked Cross, but it also has some
rubbish, Spill the Blood, Live Undead (sorry Ian, just don't like it),
and Dissident Aggressor (which is not a patch on the original).

20 random tracks from SNM, HA, RiB and SitA.

  I'd probably go that way as well. Although I might have one or two
off of SoH. Maybe not so random in the picks though.

Mine would be more or less that except I'd take tracks from SOH and
none from SITA...

I know it's fairly heretical to say but SitA is my second fav Slayer
album.  For me it destroys SoH, a album I have never really got on
with, apart from the odd track.

  It's been a while, I admit since I played any Slayer. Been taking a
break from them for a while now.

SOH's biggest challenge is that it followed the most important thrash
album of all time. There is nothing Slayer could have done that would
not have been disappointing.

The album has aged very well however, IMO, full of cast iron classics
(yes even Mandatory Suicide!).

SITA has aged poorly IMO and is the second worst Slayer album.

Pure madness, GHUA, CI, DiM are far worse.  Anyway all that ageing

Live Undead is my favourite track on the album...apart from possibly the
title track. I was really disappointed with it when it came out and a part
of me still is...but I did grow to love it. I think the album withers
away...the DA cover isn`t very good and Spill the Blood is an anti-climatic
closer.

I think SITA is when slayer lost the plot.  Been sayin it for years.
Still havent heard DI in full because I gave up after SITA for a while.

I like SiTA less every time I hear it, so the "aging badly" comment is
pretty spot on. I even made sure to put in the usenet-friendly IMO
just for you ;)

And I think the only album worse than SITA is GHUA. I like DiM *much*
better (yes, even though half the album is shit). CI is better overall
IMO although War Ensemble kicks the entire album's ass.
