Where'd all the phony Slayer fans who were just into CI and not the old stuff go? It seems. The album has killed them!

Christ Illusion is a good record. I've been listening to slayer for years, own most of the CDs and the only things I havn't got via the internet are undisputed attitude and the Haunting the Chapel EP. I am a Slayer fan. I like all Slayer. This is a resurgence in their fortunes.

It has plenty of great tracks, the only one I'm not digging as much as the rest is Eyes of the Insane. The stupid sods have decided to make a video for the worst song on the record.

Christ Illusion is good, just downloaded it. I don't get what y'all don't like about it it's the best since Seasons.

ehh. I think Cult is the only quality track. It's just boring, tries to hard to "fukk over teh god", riffs suck, vox suck and so on. Dave's drumming is great as always, but it doesn't save it.

Haunting the Chapel came on my satillite radio today. It was sweet, and really suprised me.

\m/\m/ Hell yes.

Never really got into slayer...never really got into trash in general

I've never been a thrash junkie, but Slayer has always been great in my eyes.

*Thrash

I was really into Slayer when I first bought RiB, but then I got SNM, Hell Awaits, and Seasons, realized that the rest of the Slayer I had wasn't near as good. Then I moved on, clutching those three albums.

I've heard lots of people their songs are more to the brutal side of things, and posesses very little melody, that true?

For the most part that is true. Note able exception: [I]Show No Mercy[/I]

Christ illusion is fast, the vocals aren't GHUA whiny screaming, alot of the riffs are generally typical Reign in Blood style. The low tuning is a downside though, but still why doesn't anyone like it!!!???

Simple, it's boring. The lyrics are stupid, as all they do is pretty much attack God. And the music is what we've been hearing for years.

I like some Slayer lyrics. tbh

[QUOTE=Ben]So why are you wasting your listening time writing about it?

I havn't listened to the whole album yet, only the first 3 tracks or so, I admit I really liked Flesh Storm, classic speedy thrash by numbers

....but you can't honestly take Slayer and their music too seriously...they only attack God, as you put it, because it's a fun thing to write about[/QUOTE]



Same here.


I'm gonna listen (really listen) to the whole thing tonight.


I wrote a song attacking god...it's more in a Tool style...but yea lol it is lots of fun

Because Aw3someman was asking :rolleyes:

Epidemic pwnz.

YEARS WILL PASS BEFORE IT CAN BE CURED!

Epidemic is one of the more underrated Slayer tracks, for sure.

I concur.

That track, and Necrophiliac are probably their most underrated tracks.

I hear people talking about Necrophiliac all the time. :cool:

CRYPTS OF ETERNITY!!!!!!!!!

That song is so evil. It's always forgotten though.

I would say any track off Seasons other than Dead Skin Mask, War Ensemble, and Spill the Blood is the most underrated Slayer song.

*plays lame joke card*
No Slayer song is underrated, only less overrated. :lol:

Actually, I just remembered. Haunting The Chapel is easily the most underrated.

That whole EP is.

Yeah, it's probably my favourite Slayer release.

Since I've become a chemical warfare fanboy. I've discovered the greatness of that EP.

Haunting The Chapel
Reign In Blood
SoH
Seasons

You forgot Hell Awaits!!!


NP: Slayer - Kill Again

Oi! Spirit in Black! What a quality riff!

Hell Awaits >>> Anything. :D
