Last two weren't bad at all, especially Christ Illusion. The tracks i've heard on youtube are up their with some of the worst shit they have ever written (Diabolus, GHUA). And the consensus on the album is that it fuckin' stinks and is indeed their worst album since GHUA. Also, no Jeff. No Jeff, no Slayer.
While their last two album are nothing special, how in the world can a Slayer fan say those albums are bad? It seems that every other band that sticks to their tried and tested signature sound are true as fuck ... but nooooo, not when it comes to Slayer("the same old shit, recycled riffs" etc). Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. The last two albums where pretty much a return to their sound after releasing those two steaming piles of shits in 98 and 01, and everything i've heard from Repentless sound like they're leftover tracks from those two.
