Although Reign in Blood is generally regarded as Slayer's magnum opus, for me personally Seasons In the Abyss is definitely Slayer at the peak of their musical and lyrical prowess. Building on their two previous albums they delivered an album which had all the speed and brutality of Reign in Blood as well as the much slower mid-tempo groove of South of Heaven.

except for that frustrating part in Dead Skin Mask where this lady is making noise.

Fun fact: it's not a lady who is making a noise, it was a dude.

Here's what Tom Araya said,

A friend of ours named Matt Polish came in to do that voice in the background on “Dead Skin Mask.” I told him to pretend he was a little kid who didn’t wanna play anymore, who wanted to go home. And then we pitched his voice up to make it sound like a little kid. That was supposed to be the little kid in Ed Gein: “I wanna go now!” It came out really good

I don’t really mind the sample in Dead Skin Mask, it just bugs me because it doesn’t really make sense in context. Ed Gein never targeted or kidnapped children; he killed two grown women and collected body parts. It’s a weird mistake for Slayer to make.
