It's tough, because Kill 'Em all through the black album meant so much to me (SHUT UP, I'M OLD AND FROM THE STICKS, OK!?!?!?!!), and much of it still does (AGAIN, I'M OLD, WHATEVER), so I get my hopes up every time I hear there's a new one coming out. But yeah, this completely bums me out. It was the lyrics that really killed it dead in this one for me, though I wasn't really loving the riff either.
Sigh.
I mean, other thrash bands have managed to hang on better... I saw Death Angel, Testament and Anthrax play a few years back and it was damn near transcendent for my inner 14-year old. I dunno. I'm usually willing to give bands lots of room to grow and evolve, but here... <sighs, shakes head> not so much.

Which is funny because my favorite Slayer song is the single song in their catalog that doesn't have that sound.Iommic Pope wrote:The only Slayer album that really stands out is Undisputed Atttitude.
Slayer are the awesome version of ACDC, wherein every album may as well be the same album, but fuck it is an awesome album.
Slayer could just tour greatest hits shows and people would still show up in droves.
They've been doing that for like 20 years dude.Iommic Pope wrote:Slayer could just tour greatest hits shows and people would still show up in droves.
