Not their best, but easily surpasses the derivative rubbish they're churning out these days.
Not a huge Slayer fan but I heard the new one, World Painted Blood, is supposed to be a return to form. Have you heard it Chris?
Not yet. My brother is one of these people that will buy any album a fave band of his churns out, so he bought 'Christ Illusion' and will most certainly buy 'W.P.B' too. I'll have a listen when I see him next and will probably be just as dissappointed.
The problem is (IMO of course) that Slayer just aren't particularly heavy any more. If you want speed and technicality, there are any number of death metal bands out there ('The Faceless' are my current favourites), and bands like Meshuggah have shown just how heavy you can go without playing at 1000 miles an hour.
Sadly Slayer and certain other bands of that ilk are like the Royal Family. An anachronism remembered for their deeds of years gone by.
