| _____________________________________ [Aug 4,2006 8:42pm - the_reverend ""] should have been marked news. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 4,2006 8:42pm - xanonymousx ""] sounds kick ass! at least the first track. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 4,2006 8:52pm - Ryan_M ""] i listened to about half of it, maybe the first four songs....it's not bad, but i wouldn't buy it. south of heaven and reign in blood are the only two slayer albums i really like. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 4,2006 9:04pm - kevord ""] I really like Flesh storm and Consfearacy. Why did they release Cult as the first single? It's one of the worst songs on the album. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 4,2006 9:16pm - xanonymousx nli ""] maybe cause its what the record company thought would sell the most $ or get all the "hot topic" kids into slayer? |

Ummm...Hell Awaits??? HELLOOOOOOOO!! *S* |
| __________________________________ [Aug 4,2006 9:22pm - maslayer ""] easily the best production since Seasons...you can hear it in the guitar tone and the drum mix...i think this is a great disc from what i have heard so far! |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 4,2006 10:00pm - the_reverend ""] why are all slayer disc (since the 90's) only 1/2 good? |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 4,2006 10:06pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Exactly. The promo tracks were pretty weak, the other tracks are much better, but still nowhere near exciting as their 80s stint (up to Seasons). |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 4,2006 10:51pm - sinofangels-ray ""] the songs dont mactch up to the song titles.....only reason i know is i heard some of the new slayer on the BBC |

I think this is as exciting as the 80's...let's face it they're 40+ now. To be writing this kind of material 20+years later and still be coherent to thrash metal is impressive and STILL blows away 95% of other stuff out there. They'll never recapture Hell Awaits or Reign in Blood, we know that...but they do too. I think this needs to be checked out again before they are judged and sentenced as I think it's the best cd since Seasons...really if you listen closely, it's not that far from that disc |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 5,2006 1:00pm - HailTheLeaf ""] sounds pretty lame... |
| ________________________________ [Aug 5,2006 1:21pm - sxealex ""] i wouldnt go buy it but i actually like it so far |
| ________________________________ [Aug 5,2006 1:54pm - sxealex ""] what stops people from ripping this off myspace? its the whole album and its not the worst quality... |

I think this needs to be checked out again before they are judged and sentenced as I think it's the best cd since Seasons...really if you listen closely, it's not that far from that disc I can't agree, there are other bands who are 40 years old now and have continued to evolve their songwriting and still put out great records, some of which eclipse their old material. I mean, fuck, the new Motorhead album is perfection! But I don't think this Slayer disc is even remotely impressive. Better than anything since Seasons in the Abyss? Possibly. But that's not saying much. This definitely doesn't blow away 95% of other metal releases though. There are some solid thrash songs on this disc, but it's really just going through the motions. Not one of these songs says to me "I have to hear that one again right now!" I can name probably 100 records this year I like better. And I'm not kidding. Of course that's me, and I listen to most metal genres without prejudice (apart from the obvious), but I'm just saying. That should never be the case with Slayer. Slayer used to put out album after album that was fresh, evil, and original. This just sounds tired to me. Now, even though I'm the devil's advocate here, I don't hate the album, I thought it would be much worse after hearing the promo tracks. But everything about it to me is 'meh'. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 6,2006 10:53am - maslayer ""] then we agree to disagree on this one *S* |
| _____________________________ [Aug 6,2006 11:07am - pam ""] I'm listening now and this is way better than I had anticipated. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 6,2006 12:42pm - brian_dc ""] wow, I was expecting this to be something that I would go so far to even avoid hearing (a la God Hates Us All), but this isn't bad at all. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 6,2006 12:54pm - Dar ""] hard to decide how I feel about this one for better or worse, God Hates Us All was one of the first real metal albums I owned (definitely the first Slayer) when I was about 15 and I remember it then had a huuuuuge impact, I'd be like "he puts the bible in a pool of blood??? whoa, coooool" now if I listen to this and then listen to GHUA this is without a doubt much better, but I still can't bring myself to care at all. Slayer just isn't exciting anymore. Regardless, I'm sure that there's some kid picking this up in the mall listening to Cult's chorus and going "whoa, coooool" |
| ______________________________ [Aug 6,2006 12:56pm - Dar ""] or maybe that part of Eyes of the Insane where he squeals "Hail Satan!!" even better hahahaha |
| _________________________________________________ [Aug 6,2006 12:57pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I am digging this and I don't like Slayer I might even pick this up |
| _________________________________________________ [Aug 6,2006 12:58pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] and the solos make some sense now as opposed to just dudes hitting random notes and then dive-bombing the floyd rose |
| _____________________________ [Aug 6,2006 1:00pm - Dar ""] Oh the tracklist is totally fucked here, I guess that goofy Hail Satan squeal is really Skeleton Christ...shows how much attention I've actually been paying to this shit |

Exactly!@!!!!!!!!!!\m/ I like you more and more DHTH. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 7,2006 1:28am - secthammer ""] it's not as bad as i expected, but it doesnt have the same hooks that really catch your attention as with the older slayer material. And i think i heard a couple of breakdowns :( although hard to tell because it was just plain boring so it kinda lost my attention. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 7,2006 3:03am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] There are definitely some very basic breakdowns with a weak note selection, but then again, Slayer pretty much invented the metal breakdown. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 7,2006 9:13am - soloman ""] sounds pretty good. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 7,2006 11:04am - brian_dc ""] there are a few token terrible moments, but I don't hate it. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 7,2006 5:38pm - eddie ""] i really like the first song |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 7,2006 5:47pm - WhyamIandasshole nli ""] Its better than I expected after hearing Cult which is horrendous. Evolving musically hasent exactly been Slayers MO over the years. They've pretty much just stuck to there guns and played as loud and as fast as they know how which I fully endorse. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 7,2006 6:33pm - KillerKadoogan ""] My brother just informed me that there's a review in today's Herald that calls it "better than Reign in Blood"... |

I wouldnt call Christ Illusion awesome.Theres 3 or 4 shitty songs on it.But its the best they've done since Divine Intervention.Took them long enough!!! |
| _____________________________ [Aug 8,2006 12:50pm - pam ""] I dig it. This is undeniably a step up from the last two albums! I can't be anything but happy about that. |
