New Slayer Album

[Spitfire]

Alright...so Slayer has sucked for about a decade now. I mean they really havn't put out a decent CD. Well now their back and with the orginial line up. As a metal fan I figured "Why the hell not..." So I bought their new CD.

To start this CD is way better then anything they have done recently. I mean live their amazing but their new CDs have just fallen short. Anyways, if your a Slayer fan you should pick this up*Then again if your a Slayer fan you have it already* So let me rephrase that. If you like Slayer and have looked at their past couple of CDs as crap then pick this up.

I havn't figured out why their guitar solos still suck after all these years. I mean by now they have to be good at jamming but maybe the fans really dig it.

Oh and I'd like to note the song "Jihad" is by far the worst Slayer song ever. But the rest of the CD is a decent metal release.

I'd give it a 8/10

I hate slayer. I can't dig their music. But like you said, their albums just sucked big time.

I remember when a die hard fan came to a metallica forum I was on that day, that guy said that slayer was way better than metallica. Man, what a mistake, and with no good song to back him up, the guy just got destroyed live by about 40 members. Was not pretty to see.

But I will surely give this cd a shot, I love metal, all metal, as long as its good metal... Hell I gave Avenged Sevenfold a chance, I can surely give Slayer another one.

I will be back later to say what I thought of it.

Im not a fan of Slayer, but I am of Kerry King. The man just owns that guitar.

Slayer are more like a performance. You listen to them to see them live. On stage they are the ****. I mean I've had the most fun at a Slayer show then I have at any concert. And seeing them with my favorite band Children of Bodom was great.

As for the whole Slayer Vs Metallica thing. I give Slayer this, they never sold out. Metallica was like "Oh Cliff is dead...umm **** he kinda wrote all our music uhh what do we do?"

Then we get a bunch of crap albums to follow up to Master Of Puppets*Okay "And Justice For All..." was decent dispite the terrible recording quality*

Slayer was like "Okay so we did "Reign In Blood"...now what? Umm play our old riffs backwards to make new songs? Sounds good"

Then they sucked for awhile. But atleast when Slayers studio albums sucked I could still see them live. I can't stand to see James butcher classic songs on stage with his horrid vocals.

But I'm out of that ring anyways. I put classic crap behind me and I move on. I go back to Slayer and Metallica and it's good times*When I lsiten to select albums*

Not it's to the point where 90% of the new metal that comes out sucks complete ass. So when Slayer comes out with a new CD that has the orginial line up I feel a bit excited. Like when Bruce got back with Iron Maiden. I mean all I have are like 3 bands to look forward to for new CD releases. The others flaked on me.

Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, and Dark Tranquillity. The other bands I used to liek all went soft on me or just changed to the point where I couldn't listen to them anymore...

Okay enough ranting from me.

Yeah metallica had their time at number one, but that time is over now no doubts. They lack stage presence, James's vocals are sometimes awsome, other time ''old''. The whole beat slowed down alot. I mean listen to Battery live, and then compare it to the album version... Man. Same goes for about every fast metal they had. Damage inc., Balckened, Four Horseman you name it. They don't play those anymore because they can't play them the right way anymore.

And yeah COB are just amazing man. I discovered them last year, and they rock big time. I don't like the vocal style tough. But the guitars man. I even dig the keyboard. Pretty funny, at first, I thought that the guy was playing pretty high notes... yeah right. But still, they're awsome.

Anyway, all that to come back to Slayer. Who now have their last chance with me.
