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.
Amen. They recycle their old songs, so why not the production! Haha!
Anyway, I'm off to see them at the end of the month. Slayer rule.
