Listened to it yesterday. Nothing interesting or original. Just good old thrash. But it's gettting pretty boring. I would give the album 5 out of 10.

I absolutely love it, as do most of my friends, any other opinions?

It's nowhere near as good as Christ Illusion but solid enough. Can't wait to see them for the 3rd time in a few weeks time.

Give it a chance JH, its got an amazing combination of all things slayer, both me and my wife can hear snippets in the new album from most of their previous albums right back to the early days

This CD is blowing my mind

It has gotten 6 listens so far and it's still just OK. 23 years Of Slayer listening kinda dulls the appetite. It's OK. Nothing more.

Thanks for the warning. I have heard a lot of newer songs (as in the past decade) that are good but I'm just not a big enough fan to need more than Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood.

I think Hell Awaits is a terrible album personally. The title track is brilliant but the rest of the album sucks. Seasons In The Abyss was very strong I thought- they seemed to capture the intensity well on here without having to always be fast.

I think outside of Reign In Blood this is one of their best tracks:

Yeah! Fantastic fucking riffage in that song. Although I have to say I love that entire album from start to finish. I literally can't think of a single song from it that isn't great, though as far as maintaining the intensity without always having to be fast goes "Dead Skin Mask" is pretty hard to beat. This song has such a great dynamic to it:

Really? For me Hell Awaits definitely has something. I also like Seasons a lot and I even like South of Heaven - that's more nostalgia as South of Heaven and ...And Justice for All were my two of my first thrash tapes. It was a fun summer ('88).
