"Disciple" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
Don't blink. Otherwise, Slayer's eighth studio release will scoot right by at hyper-speed. In fact, morbid images and jackhammer guitar riffs are the only traces that GOD HATES US ALL leaves behind on its demolition path. Heavy, indeed. If lead screamer Tom Araya slows down just for a second, dark mantras such as "I won't be force-fed prophecy" and "My hate is contagious" become frighteningly intelligible. Slayer might not be pretty, but no one can accuse the band of campiness--this is as real (and scary) as it gets.
GOD HATES US ALL is another searing slab of classic Slayer. Highlights include "Disciple" and "Threshold," which capture the group at its bombastic best. Stylistically, the album has all of the characteristics of great thrash metal--grinding guitars, crisp bass drums, and convincing shout-speak vocals. GOD HATES US ALL is not for everyone, however. It will offend many, which is the very reason that the band's fans will embrace it all the more.
Out of print in the U.S.! For nearly 25 years, Slayer have remained the most important and influential Speed Metal band in history. God Hates Us Allis their 2001 album featuring 13 tracks including 'Darkness Of Christ', 'New Faith', 'God Send Death' and more. Warner.

Rolling Stone (9/13/01, p.106) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...[Their] most brutal record since 1986's REIGN IN BLOOD. Galloping double-bass-drum salvos switch on a dime to furious double-time pummeling..."
Spin (9/01, pp.158-9) - 8 out of 10 - "...Rains new bood, acknowledging the Digital New with squiggly techno-ish synth lines and studio phasing effects....[But] don't worry, Slayer still sound like Slayer...with predatory grace..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/21/01, p.84) - "...The metal equivalent of comfort food..." - Rating: B+
Q (10/01, p.130) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...As feral and ferocious an album as they've made in years..."
CMJ (9/17/01, p.20) - "...Blood-soaked M-E-T-A-L..."

A very good album
Definitley a good CD with songs like Exile, Bloodline, and Threshhold. But I hate to be the one to tell everyone that the best Slayer CD ever put out hands down has to be the all mighty "DIVINE INTERVENTION" I want to spread the word for those who have never listened to it all the way through, without skippin through it. Try it, you'll hear what I am talking about!!!!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  SLAYER,SLAYER,SLAYER!!!
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH. THIS IS THE BEST YOU CAN FIND IN THE WORLD OF HEAVY METAL. SLAYER HAS ALWAYS DONE IT THEIR WAY AND WILL NEVER SELL OUT. SO GO AHEAD AND TELL ME "METALLICA STILL ROCKS". WRONG. IF YOU WANT MUSIC FROM A BAND THAT SOUNDS AS GOOD, IF NOT BETTER, THAN THEIR FIRST ALBUM; THEN SELL YOUR FIRST BORN, RUN OVER EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE WAY TO THE STORE, AND BUY EVERY SLAYER ALBUM YOU CAN FIND. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, STEAL IT!!! IT'S WORTH JAIL TIME.
