Overrated Bands

[Ninjavenom]

I seriously tried to like Slayer, but it didn't work. They're overproduced, the vocals are far too clean and present, the subject matter is more tame than the fans think it to be, and i've never heard them bust out any sort of impressive solo or blast beat in any song i've listened to, not even the solo in Reign in Blood, or Raining Blood, or whichever it is. They're a thrash band that shouldn't have been nearly as influential or accessible as they were, and they're gonna stay that way in my book until i hear them live up to the legend that others make them out to be. They weren't the only thrash band around in the early eighties, and they certainly weren't the fastest. Why have Slayer when you can have the other three in the pile? Speak English or Die! was released a mere two years after Slayer's first album, and S.O.D. managed to one-up anything i've ever heard Slayer do.
