And why is this the case, exactly? |

| It's a good album, not the best of Slayer but it's still cool. |
|
|
|
| I think this is Slayer's worst album. Nu-metal influence is clear in this album and Araya almost raps on Threshold. U can't simply deny this by calling the album "hardcore'ish" or falsifying many fans who think that Araya was rapping, just because you are afraid of associating the thrash gods with nu-metal. Unfortunately, the thrash-gods, unlike the Christian God, are not infallible!! |

|
|
| I just don't like this album as much. Nothing to do with with core elements though. Thats never a problem for me. |
|
|
|
| A 9? I'm not sure I'd give this album a 2. It fucking sucks. They need to retire. |
|

Good review.
I think it's an okay album, not bad... almost good.
Although Disciple of course is one of their best songs and certainly one of the best live songs ever!  |
|
|
|
| I wrote this review ages ago (when the album was released in fact, this review comes from the first version of MS!!!). I still think this is a great album. It was Slayer trying something else and succeeding at it. I still think the 'street-wise' hardcore vibe of this album is very well executed. |
|
|
|
| i dont think its a bad album, however it doesnt come close to their 80's stuff, but is better than Divine intervention etc... |
|
|
|
This is probably their worst album, but I still like it. The song, War Zone, is one of my favorite Slayer songs.  |
|
|
|
I still love this album. It's one of the best hate music records ever made. The hardcore elements are superb.
Fucking Slayer |
|
|
|
| I love this album. I remember I liked it since the first time I listened to it, maybe because it was catchy, maybe because it made sense to me. I also like the lyrics, as usual with Slayer. Its not brilliant but its still very enjoyable indeed. |

| Slayers most underrated album. Payback is a Top 3 Slayer classic! |
|
|
|
| If any Slayer album has Nu-Metal influence I thinks its DIM. I really don't care either way. Good Music is just that GOOD. This album has good and bad. I don't like it when Tom screams his way to the finish line. Gets boring. God Send Death,New Faith,Bloodline and Here comes the Pain are ass kickin songs. The trend of using 7 string guitars is getting stupid. I actually know a band whose manager told them to switch to 7s or they wouldn't go anywhere. Basically told the guy to go re-learn his playing style WTF!! Anyway, GHUA at times seemed to be on the right track and others it was bland. It got alot of mixed response from people but live they seemed to pick the cherries from the album and it sounded good enough for me to see em twice that tour. |

| "Payback" an embarrassment! they definitly could have done without that song. But Exile, Deciple, Threshold. OH MY FUCKIN GOD!!!!!!!! If Jesus was on the earth right now he would leave christianity for these guys!!:wall: |

| This album is one(best) of the masterpieces of slayer. this is first metal album i heard and after 6 years i still say this is their best and surely tom araya's best influential work. i will try to write a review for this album and say why it's their best. |
|
|
|
I love this album more than any album of the band
the songs "Bloodline" & "disciple" are my favorie |
|

| Probably their worst. Or at least slightly btter than the previous. |
|
|
|
| Disciple is a song that really rules. this album is good but nothing more imo. the review is also good! |

Same thing to me.
Man, this album simply rocks, its hard to choose the WORST songs, since they all are perfect or have great moments. The vocal style is better than never, amazing voice, couldn't imagine it better. ''Disciple'' of course is the killer opening and the best song in my opinion.
''Exile'', ''Scarstruck'' and ''Here comes the pain'' are also great. The worst song is really ''Bloodline'', not because is the most accessible song they've ever made, but because its boring. |
|
|
|
| Yeah.this album is great.I realy don't know why people are complaining about this album.I can even say that this is their best album.Every song is great,the sound is great so if this is not thrash enough to someone then they are not thrashers. |
|
|
|
For me this is definitely the best album by them, in terms of vocals, drumming and catchy riffs, the version with Scarstruck and Addict is the best, both great songs that add to the already great set of songs.
I don't care if they used 7 string guitars, some people call this nu-metal, no way not even
Christ Illusion and World Painted Blood are both great albums, but for me this one tops them
Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss are some of my favorite Slayer albums, but this one never ceases to keep me listening
For me theres maybe one or two weaker songs on the album but overall a very solid effort and I think bloodlines and payback are both fantastic songs |

| Aggressive record which doesn't wither in years. |
|
|

I like it, it's not the best album but I think is cool, but you have to realize Threshold is rap metal, I enjoy this song with no complaints.  |

Huh? Why? It's not half-bad, catchy and hardcore.

| Why does everyone hate this album its awesome! |

|
| This album is awesome, but my problem was that when I pick up a Slayer album, I wanna hear something relatively fast. I only got that from Payback and Disciple. Other than that, it was heavy, had great solos and the lyrics have gotten more intense. |

I can't believe I never commented on this album!
This is my favorite Slayer album, Bloodlines my favorite song.
I gave this a 10! (and the two after it a 6 each...)
Bring back Paul!!!! LOL |

| You say 'Hardcore' like it's a good thing, it's not the Nu Metal influence I don't like, it's just not the classic Slayer sound I enjoy that is missing here. After the appearances of these 'new' metal genres, Glam is starting to look very enticing. Not my taste, but Slayer are still legends. |
