Product Description
Amazon.ca
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. After the introductory "Darkness of Christ", the band burst into "Disciple", an enraged howl backed by a mean riff that increases in momentum till the guitars begin to blur. But, thankfully, there's a saving grace: the drums, though searingly fast in their rolls, don't attempt to out-run the over-heating guitars. Consequently, Slayer never lose control, retaining their heaviness and vitality as the tom-tom rumble of "New Faith" leads them into "Bloodline", with its chopping "Children of the Grave"-style riff and electric shriek of a solo. Here's a further improvement--Slayer's solos are always brief, brutal shudderings, often, as in ! "Here Comes The Pain", sounding like some creature being quickly killed. The vocals too are notable in their refusal to descend to a bog-standard metal grunt (such a silly affectation). Though they occasionally lapse into predictable rap & grind ("Cast Down"), Slayer and producer Matt Hyde have kept this album true to the band's raison d'etre--it's shockingly heavy. --Dominic Wills

Anyone who knocks this album is full of themselves. There's definitely heavy competition from other earlier Slayer albums, but this is, by far, one of the best metal albums to come out in a long time.
The album is just ruthless. The drumming and riggage is awesome, every metal nuance, lick, passage, is played here by the masters who CREATED them. I simply couldn't believe that Slayer could get it up after all of these years, but they do and more. Listen to this album on a kickin' system, and it'll blow you away. The energy is almost as maxed out as you can get, Tom Araya sounds angrier than ever!
Slayer has definitely 'evolved', and from what I hear, this is the type of evolution that's perfectly OK with me; not like Metallica or Megadeth (I don't even bother to look for new albums from these bands anymore, it's time to move on). It sounds great, it's the GREATEST BAND IN HEAVY METAL TODAY, and possibly the greatest band in metal period. Tom Araya's vocals can be a little monotounous for the picky listener, but there's so much here, that's it's impossible to disapoint. I LOVE this album, and with so much AWFUL new metal out there, to hear music from the kings, keeping it real after all these years, is one of my most rewarding musical experiences since first listening to all of Master of Puppets and Seasons in the Abyss.
BUY THIS ALBUM. OR IF YOU'RE POOR. STEAL IT.

Slayer has released one of the best metal albums of all-time and it's a great metal album. Slayer's God Hates US ALL is a pure metal album. It's raw and aggressive. It's wild. Untamed and angry. Slayer has created a metal masterpiece and they prove time and time again exactly why they are one of the best metal albums of all-time. God Hates Us ALL is simply one of the best metal albums out there. This album is a must-have for every Slayer fan.

I bought this on 9/11/01.
It was early in the morning & I had no idea what was going on in the world yet.
I was focused on two things getting to work and buying the new Slayer cd.
My job at the time was right next door to a small record store.
By the time I got into work I was told to go home.
It was then I was informed.
It was another 24 hours b4 I remebered that I had bought this cd.
So I popped it in my walkman and sat on my porch listening and reading along to God Hates Us All.
By the end of the 1st song I was in tears.
Allthough not what some would call"PATRIOTIC"nor could anyone for better or worse make any connections to this cd or the events that took place on the day of its release there was/is still a noteable ambiance of frustration and anger that should not be dismissed just because this is some metal band.
In a way Slayer are a true representation of freedom of expression in this country.
Theres no reason why Slayer cant be mentioned next to the greats(Guthrie,Dylan etc)cept for the fact that they play really abrasive metal but none the less shouldnt they be honered just the same?!
My better half is amoung those who just cant get past the fact that they are LOUD.
I convinced her to see them live with earplugs(hey it was a compramise!)and she was floored.
Not by how heavy or how well they played just by the sheer crackling energy these guys produce even b4 they play a single note.
Slayer are an important voice in the world of music.
One day everyone else will realise this or maybe its better that they just stay the f@#k away.
Yeah I like that idea alot better.
