There's nothing particularly redeeming about the Verminous ones, I just said I didn't hate it. It was inoffensive. But I wouldn't say I really liked it either. I listened to about 20 minutes of it out of curiosity, and now I'll never listen to it ever again.
Exhorder on the other hand, had made two pretty damn good albums about 40 or 50 years ago. But now I would have to say I find their latest album bad enough to consider it offensive. Just really awful. So this wasn't a case of the boys from Buckinghamshire being so much more redeeming (to use your word) but rather of the New Orleans quintet being quite rancid. And not in a good way.

As it goes - opinions are like assholes, everyone has a shitty one...
Most of what I would consider "perfect" or "unskippable" I'm sure would fall out of your wheelhouse and most likely the opposite is true. NBD. Fortunately, we both passed the metalhead certification test years ago.

Soundgarden/Badmotorfinger-I love this album. listening to this album makes me want to sell my soul to the devil to have a voice like Chris Cornell at which point I would rip my lungs out of my chest singing this song. The pipes on that dude.  So sad. The guy had everything. Actually, I would probably just go back in time to 1990 and see Soundgarden at the peak of their powers before the band blew up into the mega stadium rock star band they became.

Alrighty then. I dismissed Hate Eternal years ago as one of those boring American one-dimensional rapid-fire blasty-blast death metal bands that just aren't for me. But you and JT just keep bringing them up. You just can't stop yourselves. So I guess the time has come for the old goat to revisit them. You say this is your favorite Hate Eternal album, so I'm going in, wish me luck.

Well ok I'm back. They're not quite as bad as I'd remembered, not terrible at all. There were even a few spots where I almost found myself enjoying this. Almost. Vocals aren't annoying or anything, but they're really not that good either, they're just there. These horribly clickety rapid-fire drums definitely aren't good at all, that's the worst part of this for me. The overdubbed guitar solos seem weird and out of place and take my head out of the song. These songs aren't memorable, can't hum along with any of them, and they all have the exact same rapid-fire tempo that becomes a blur. This became quite tedious by like track 3 or 4. I won't say I hate them eternally, but this style of death metal semble fastidieux et ennuyeux.
Makes me a bit curious as to why people who don't listen to a ton of death metal like you and JT would latch onto this band out of all death metal bands. Leprosy or Cause of Death this is not. What's the main appeal here? It's not overly accessible, it's not very melodic, it's not particularly brutal, it's not breakdown city, it's not dynamic, riffs don't stick in your head, totally one-dimensional. They're not really bad, any one song taken on its own is reasonably listenable, but a whole album full of these is just not good. It's unremarkable, middle of the road, generic American rapid-fire clickety drum death metal that I'll forget as soon as I go downstairs to make coffee. They'd be serviceable as an opening band maybe, acceptable background noise for while I'm over at the bar purchasing a tasty cold beverage. Don't see these dudes as headline material. 
 
NP: Siniser - Hate, Netherlands 1995. Another legacy band I haven't spent a ton of time with, but right from track 1 this is far more interesting to me than Hate Eternal.
