Talk:Seasons in the Abyss

Thrash metal as derivative of speed metal

I personally view "thrash" metal as derivative of speed metal. I don't recall ever hearing a slow thrash-metal band, but I have heard plenty of speed metal bands that were certainly not thrash.-- goatasaur

Album Art

There isn't any information on the cover art, such as the artist's credit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.231.129.50 (talk) 12:49, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Trivia

I'm trying to find out what the lyric is in "Expendable Youth", at about 2 minutes and 32 seconds into the song, just prior to the guitar solo. Doing a quick bit of googling, it is mostly quoted as being "Fight-ring you motherfucker (?)", but it certainly doesn't sound like that to me. No question about the last two words, but the first sounds like it could be "biting" or "blighting". Earlier I had thought it might have even been a reference to King (and thus, the imminent guitar solo). Anyone know what it actually says? fonetikli 22:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• It's "Try and take me you..." --PopUpPirate 22:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the speedy reply... but have another listen to it if you are able. I can't match your suggestion to what I'm hearing on the track. =/ fonetikli 22:58, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Frustratingly, Tom Araya doesn't sing that particular line in the live version on Decade of Aggression =( fonetikli 05:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Redirect.

I have a question: Why does the search 'blood red' redirect to this? Yes I know that the ablum's second track is 'Blood Red', but what if someone is looking for something... different? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.132.33 (talk) 03:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I have reverted that edit. Tealwisp (talk) 00:48, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Parental Advisory

In response to the comment, "Seasons in the Abyss is one of few albums to be issued with a Parental Advisory label despite the virtual unusual absence of profanity unlike other Slayer albums." There are lyrics depicting violent acts. PA stickers are not just for swears but also for lyrics with references to drugs/alcohol use, and violence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.197.137.179 (talk) 05:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Seasons in the Abyss: Best of both worlds, or pure thrash?

An edit I made based on TV Tropes information was reverted. Here be proof that the slower style of South of Heaven is mixed with the faster style of Reign in Blood on this album. --Ryanasaurus0077 (talk) 00:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

You can't quote a wiki styled site that fails WP:RS criteria as a reference for proof of anything. Only valid references from sources which pass WP:RS can be used as a reference. The Real Libs-speak politely 00:43, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Can I be a reliable source? Because I have the album and have listened to it in its entirety, and I noticed that some songs on the album (e.g. "Dead Skin Mask") were slower than others (e.g. "War Ensemble"). --Ryanasaurus0077 (talk) 15:15, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

"Can I be a reliable source?" No. That would violate Wikipedia:No original research. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

And another thing: what do you mean Amazon's not reliable!? --Ryanasaurus0077 (talk) 01:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Sources that should be used to edit music articles, includes: websites like Allmusic, PopMatters; magazines such as Rolling Stone, Spin, Decibel, Terrorizer, related books (The Bloody Reign of Slayer, Reign in Blood), etc. See also Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Resources.--Cannibaloki 02:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

If I survive the sockpuppet investigation, I will check those sources, mark my words. --Ryanasaurus0077 (talk) 03:29, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Certification?

The RIAA website states that this album has certified Gold. The article's claim of 3xPlatinum certification is incorrect. LaughingSkull (talk) 16:25, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
