I guess I was unaware of Pantera's success with Far Beyond Driven. I knew it sold well, but I didn't realize it reached #1 until now. I don't hear it talked about nearly as much as Vulgar Display of Power or Cowboys From Hell. So this was somewhat surprising for me. I definitely agree with everything else on the list. I think as an honorable mention, The Number of The Beast is the 11th most overrated metal album. I believe it was Maiden's best seller. It is really good, but I think most, if not the rest of the albums they made in the 1980s were better than that one.

Mikael himself said that BP was basically Still Life but with Steven Wilson, saying they were very similar. To me though, there are only a few simillarities between them. The only song that makes BP remind me of SL is Blackwater Park, the title track itself because of its intro riff. In my opinion, yes, BP is better that SL but they are both fantastic. SL is a great concept album, one of the best I've listen to, but BP will always have a very different vibe and atmosphere. I love them both :D

I agree on Reign In Blood. Back when I would hear it being mentioned with Master of Puppets (personally give me Justice) and Rust In Peace which made me think big songs with time changes and yea that's nothing at all that's there. I have tried a few times to listen to it but it just doesn't seem to click with me. 100 meter dash to the conclusion of its 28 minutes runtime is how I sum it up, and that line (I think it was either Cliff Burton or James Hetfield who said it) about you can only be the fastest guy around for so long also comes to mind. Angel of Death and Raining Blood, that is all.

I honestly prefer A7X's self titled album due to how experimental it was and how well it paid off as a result. I find more of the songs memorable too.

My favorite, then Vulgar.

This list has many good points. "Reign in Blood" is the best-known album by Slayer but the later albums "South of Heaven" and "Seasons in the Abyss" had more beauty (with melodies) than "Reign in Blood". They just wanted to prove they could play faster than anyone else. "Show No Mercy" and "Hell Awaits" were very good albums too and had many great ideas but still the big audience haven't heard about those albums. Some of the songs of "British Steel" were made just for the radio. Although "radio-friendly" isn't equal to "poor" even in metal genre, you cannot avoid hearing how songs like "United", "Breaking the Law", and especially "Living After Midnight" sound a little bit too "poppy". In my opinion Judas Pries has many better albums: "Sad Wings of Destiny" and "Sin After Sin" for example.

Anyhow, glad to see someone who agrees with me on Hell Awaits.

South of Heaven is a close second to be honest because at its best its amazing while at its worst its just ok. It is a shame that Hell Awaits doesnt have better production and that would be my only criticism of the record. But hell, South of Heaven is a great record and even with the lacking tracks on the record I would still put it above Reign in Blood overall.

the only overrated album here is The Black Album and to an extent Reign In Blood

Here we go!

I am so happy to hear someone else name Show No Mercy as their favourite Slayer album. Such an underrated album. I consider Black Magic to be Slayer's signature song instead of Raining Blood. You are spot on about Raining Blood and Angel of Death being the main draw of the Reign in Blood album. South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss are way better and more solid albums all round. Show no Mercy will always be my favourite of theirs - Crionics is probably their most underrated song for me, along with Behind the Crooked Cross from the South of Heaven album.Love your videos, man. Been watching for a long time. You seem like such a normal, down to earth guy who really loves, appreciates and understands music. It's so hard to find people who can genuinely critique their favourite music like you do, without doing it just to bash other bands and being an 'elitist'.Metallica, Megadeth and Machine Head are three of my favourite bands, but that doesn't mean that I can't find fault with their respective works. I enjoy the variety that those bands have in their discography. Love that you mentioned Rust in Peace as a possible underrated album. Gotta agree with that. It's easily one of the top 10 metal albums of all time.Keep up the good work, CKN. \m/

Don't kill me. I'm a big Dream Theater and Rush fan, but I think Scenes From a Memory and 2112 are kinda overrated. Now, 2112 the song, is fucking amazing. One of the best songs ever made, but it felt like a mistake to put it as the opener since every other song on the album is kinda average. With SFAM, I think that Images and Words and Awake are two albums that are far superior.

The only reason people love Reign In Blood is for Angel of Death and Raining Blood

Didn't expect to see Time I on here, then again I do prefer Wintersun's self-titled album.

When I first bought RIB in junior high it was the fastest,craziest, most extreme music I had ever heard. It was my favorite Slayer album for years. Still love it, but now that I'm a little older I think that Seasons and South are more complete albums. I'm a drummer and really appreciate Dave's technical skill on those albums. Much more variety in the way of dynamics and tempo. Still I don't think I would go as far to call RIB overrated. It's gets a lot of hype for sure, but its all subjective to taste and preference. It was for sure a major breakthrough in sound and production from their previous album Hell Awaits.

Reign in Blood by slayer is a great album but albums like Show No Mercy, South Of Heaven, and Seasons in the Abyss are far more superior.

Slayer's Repentless. A fair few people see that it falls short of most of their other work like it was basically destined to, while others claim it's their best album since Seasons in the Abyss - I really don't see it. I even found albums like Divine Intervention, God Hates us All and World Painted Blood more enjoyable than Repentless. Stand out tracks for me are the title track, Piano Wire and maybe Implode, but apart from that it's simply not very memorable.

This applies to things in media that people treat like it is the second coming of Christ, but doesn’t really do anything to change the game. Like if an entire album is praised because of 2 really good songs, but the other 7-9 tracks overlooked because they are kinda ass, it’s safe to say the album is overrated.

every song on Reign in Blood sounds the same.

Blackwater Park - totally agree. I heard it hyped to high heavens, tried listening to it several times, but just couldn't get into it (and by extention, to Opeth in general). In the end it was the trio of Damnation, Morningrise, and Ghost Reveries that got me starting to 'get' Opeth. Blackwater's not a bad album by any means, I guess, but one that's still nowhere near my personal favorites in what comes to Opeth's discography. Time I - yup, agree. Again, not bad by any means, but more of a victim of the hype and the fact that the album sure took it's time (pun intended) to get done. Sure, there might be a gazillion of orchestration tracks going on in each song, but do they *really* matter in the end? I kind of doubt it.... But when you're a perfectionist, nothing less than your own personal vision will do, I suppose. I really hope Jari would get (or get assigned) a producer to watch over the whole process and put a foot down whenever needed and tell him when something's good enough and move over to the next thing. Reign In Blood - kind of disagree. Best Slayer album ever? Perhaps not. But then again, is it one where you ever feel the need to skip a single track? Or one where you ever get the feeling it could move along a bit swifter? I'd say the starting and closing tracks standing out the most and the rest not getting much mentions isn't so much due to them being bad, but rather "Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood" being so damn good, and the whole album moving at such a breakneck speed that it kind of all blends into one glorious, blurry continuum of 28 minutes and 58 seconds.

OK guys, here is my top 10 overated albums 1.Ozzy- Blizzard of Ozz 2.BlackSabbath-Paranoid(love this album but I like SBS and Sabotage 5x more) 3.MorbidAngel-Altars of Madness 4.Darkthrone-Transilvanian Hunger 5.Exodus-Bonded by Blood 6.Emperor-In the nightside eclipse 7.Venom-Black metal 8.Motley Crue-Dr Feelgood 9.Iron Maiden-Number of the Beast 10.Slipknot-IOWA

Yeah the title track and Blood Red Skies is awesome but my god it is sub-par compared to other priest albums.

Far Beyond Driven is a good album. But, honestly, I find Machine Head's Burn My Eyes, which came roughly around the same time, a much stronger record and more unique record in terms of atmosphere, songwriting, and lyrics. Many Pantera songs feel a bit playful in nature due to their southern rock and blues influences. Machine Head completely abounded blues-based patterns in their songwriting, thus it made their first album sound much more modern and dark in nature.

Come Clarity is the slight overrated one for me - even though I still quite like it, it is where everyone's attention is centered constantly.
