O/T New Slayer "Implode"

[johnnieCzech]

Not sure if I like it or not. It seems somewhat tired to me.

Sounds like a b-side from World Painted Blood, which was average in itself IMO.

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

I found nothing wrong with it. Pretty much how Slayer has sounded since God Hates Us All. People should already know what to expect. I don't get why everyone expects them to make Reign In Blood 2. Those days are gone and they're never coming back.

 

[Joecephus]

Jeff Hanneman was the heart & soul of Slayer. Without his song writing, this just sounds tired. It's Slayer by numbers.

I wish Kerry & Tom would have called the band something else moving forward and had Gary Holt contribute to songwriting in the "new" band.

 

[mrthrax]

Slayer are boring

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

Tough crowd we got here.

Are you a Slayer fan or a Jeff fan?

 

[Joecephus]

Are you a Slayer fan or a Jeff fan?

I could ask you the same question, Are you an Anthrax fan or a Joey & Dan Spitz fan?

I'm a Slayer fan, who thinks that the vast majority of their best songs were written by Jeff. 2/4th's of Slayer is still there, but unlike Anthrax where Scott & Charlie who write everything are still there and still the heart & soul of the band... Slayer's just not the same anymore.

 

[Social Distortion]

Tired is the word I'm going with. Jeff wrote all the best songs IMO too.

 

[What Doesnt Die]

2 / 4ths or even one half!

 

[anomynous]

It's not even debatable that Jeff wrote the better material

 

[Thrashard925]

I hate to bash Slayer, but found the last several albums boring and repetitive.

I say this when comparing Testament. Testament has always had a solid sound full of rhythm and harmony. Slayers music was always flat and 2D as in Two Dimensions

Me too. God Hates Us All was their last good effort IMHO.

 

[timmyc]

I absolutely love Christ Illusion, and think it's their most underrated record from their catalogue. Tracks like Flesh Storm, Skeleton Christ, Jihad etc are amazing IMHO.

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

I like Christ Illusion and World Painted Blood. Didn't care for God Hates Us All.

 

[Thrashard925]

I'll have to listen to them again and compare. Deicide is a band i could compare how everything sounded the same, Deicide started out as a killer band

 

[Thrashard925]

I only have up to Christ Illusion and have not listened to World Painted Blood.

God Hates Us All seems a bit annoying and too rushed. Christ Illusion is much better

 

[Mikey-Bong]

I like Slayer, but for the life of me I can't really hear much difference in anything they've recorded since Diabolus.

 

[timmyc]

God Hates Us All seems a bit annoying and too rushed. Christ Illusion is much better

Agreed.

Any info on when the next album is due?
