A lot of hopefuls still believe they can return to past glory, but hoping just deepens the wounds, because it looks like they’re not going in that direction. I personally really dig the groovy riffage, as they make the songs more catchy and memorable as opposed to just being fast as hell, which can be fun to listen to but it can get a little tiring after a while. Here you have an album with 43 minutes of mid-age musicians going full retard while ranting about god and religious stuff like Alex Jones does in his show, but from these 43 minutes there is nothing that remained in your ear and you can see no reason to listen to any of these songs again. Reactie van satyr op 24-10-2006 om 10:56u This CD's got much better songs than Diabolus. And what better way to do that than by reviewing the pile of hardcore fucking swill that is Slayer’s God Hates Us All? The intro is completely worthless (I don't mind intros if they're done right, but this one definitely is not), but then comes "Disciple," which actually serves up a healthy dose of ass-kickery. They put on a real good show. But Slayer can do better than this. A couple of good ones, and many songs which sound kinda "lazy". Godless he doesn't care Unlike Anthrax, who still maintained some semblance of traditional heavy metal within the abject inferiority of their groove metal releases, Slayer has basically embraced the popular concept of nu-metal/mallcore here and attempted to merge it with some remnants of their older Thrash style. Cool effects at 1:58 do not help it. Sure, there are a couple passable songs here, like God Send Death, but nothing even close to the greatness of their early 80's work. You just want to skip it.

However, to comment the single songs disguises the overall impression. Well, I have to say that it seems that they didn't, and their praised "return to form" stinks of nu-metal just as hard as the last album. As it stands, it's a pretty weak ending to the album. Tom Araya's vocals appear as though they have completely gone down the shitter (not true, he is still halfway decent live, but I think after listening to that distortion for a few minutes, even my hair turned orange and even my pants baggified themselves! People were pissed off with South of Heaven (now considered as a masterpiece), now people are pissed off with god hates us all. The lyrical department is well-studied, especially the tracks dealing with the themes of religion have interesting lyrics. Released 11 September 2001 on American (catalog no.

Well, "God Hates Us All" isn't one of Slayer's best efforts to date, but it's also not one of the worst, it's just a decent effort where the band tried to experiment a bit and change its sound, but it's unfair to cast stones at this album just because it took influences from a genre not popular on this site.

It does deserve some criticism, though. The masters are back with a new opus, so is it up to their standard? And “Seven Faces”. Their supposed milestone, Reign In Blood, was merely a streamlined commercial approach to the more violent approaches to thrash, yet God Hates Us All makes Reign In Blood seem like the greatest thrash masterpiece ever by comparison. After waiting three years since Slayer's previous release, Diabolus In Musica, God Hates Us All wasn't exactly a huge disappointment, but I expected better. Reactie van metallicass op 05-01-2005 om 19:02u. Good stuff. Overall, while a big step up from Diabolus In Musica, Slayer still needed to get their heads out of their asses if they wanted to restore what little credibility they had left at this point. In your cardboard prison, asphalt wasteland " But I doubt that if it comes to Slayer it just isn't enough to scare off little kiddies and show everyone how to make a savage album simply with beating the shit out of the instruments and setting the record devices to max volume. This is a pretty bad album, even by punk rock standards. Anger, Slayer have done an awesome job with making the vocals sound good with the measly guitar playing Slayer are one of the very few bands that are able to stay true to their heavy roots and still naturally progress, even after all these years.

Yes, it's that bad. I hope the next slayer album will be more thrashy, sounding like reign in blood or seasons in the abyss, but this is an owkay album! Songs such as “Exile” and, more obviously “Payback” utilise Slayer’s favourite four-letter word, while others like “Deviance” have none, so there’s some kind of balance there, if that makes any difference. ), and the songwriting is a disaster. I love early Slayer for their stripped down approach to dark thrash. And throw in another pretty pathetic thrash break. What really kills me is that it actually starts fairly promisingly.

The man is getting older, and when he tries to scream Halford-alike like on Angel of death intro-scream, he sounds like a chicken getting fucked in the ass.

It's well play and the first thing that comes to mind is that Tom yells like a madman, the voice is too distorted. For instance, the main riff of Bloodline is the kind of shit that guitarists in their first few months of playing come up with. The answer is: no. Sure, the riffs are there, but the main focus point is Araya’s yelling vocals. Oh well, since the distortion on the vocals is so fucking messed up you don’t get to hear much anyways. If you like bands like Slipknot, newer Sepultura, Machine Head or even System of a Down, I'm sure you'll dig this album and will marry it after the 10th listen. “God Send Death” is much too slow.

Slayer - God Hates Us All Genres: Thrash Metal. One could love it for how angry/raw the music sounds and just how heavy everything overall is, or one could hate it for those exact reasons because maybe one didn't expect Slayer from the early 80's to descend into groove metal territory and writing lyrics as simplistic and arguably juvenile in songs like Payback and Exile. The good song is Disciple. To bad the riffs are boring and the screaming is horrid. "God Hates Us All" is very heavy, and it's cool that Slayer still has so much agression after so many years.

Although I appreciate that Mr. Araya attempts the high-pitched scream, particularly on “God Send Death”, it just doesn’t feel right anyway. The lyrics are about aggression, religion, murders, etc., quite generic and those kind of lyrics that aren't painfully bad but not nearly interesting enough to read them twice or even memorize them. There is the occasional decent moment, but even that is just a shadow of even Divine Intervention. But lyrics have never been very important to Slayer. It reminds me of Pantera's Vulgar Display Of Power in how both genres are thrown in, and also just how raw everything sounds. There are some really cool riffs scattered here and there; on the other hand, the solos could have been a bit better, as they mainly rely on the wah-wah pedal effect and they aren't that special, save a couple of exceptions. While God Hates Us All possesses some of the same ingredients that made Diabolus… a marginally refreshing surprise, SLAYER's latest represents yet another failure on the band's part to take the initiative and reinvent themselves—a regurgitation of the group's past songwriting efforts in the hopes of pleasing no one but their most ardent and loyal fans.

God Hates Us All is a really good Slayer album that shows the band going back to their more thrash-ier sound. The legendary Slayer shares Slipknot's dogged fury and persistence of vision, but God Hates Us All clearly illustrates why it stands a good chance of outlasting its Iowa brethren. A bit of undistorted vocals are here to be found. Bostaph’s drumming is loud – much louder than the guitars – and overpowers everything except the vocals. It's not St. Anger bad, but it's pretty damn close. Slayer ~ God Hates Us All Amazon.co.uk On first listening to God Hates Us All , one immediately fears a terrible regression to the Slayer who were so desperate to shock that their lyrics became nothing more than a dull catalogue of historical evil-doings and painful ways to die, and whose sound was reduced to an annoying, structure-less buzzing, lacking all weight and power. Seriously, the vocals are pushed to extremely loud volumes which means we're forced to hear every word Tom Araya is singing on this album, which is never a bad thing mind you, but it causes the album to get on your nerves after a while, especially with how little melody is found on this record, as opposed to just loud, in your face screaming. ...but what's the point if the majority of the songs suck?
