| I haven't heard the record all the way through, nor have I listened in great detail, but it didn't strike me as a disappointment.
Drums (other than the kick) sound like a throwback/nod to Slayer's hey-day. The guitars do leave a bit to be desired, but sound natural and real, just like a Slayer record oughta. Overall, it sounds like musicians playing together; a (refreshing) far cry from a lot of the newer, super-slick metal records that have been popping up the past five or ten years.
Anyway, Slayer's never been a band I've associated with high fidelity. I kinda dig the record sonically and musically for its "classic Slayer" vibe. |
