Personnellement c'est le Slayer qui tourne le plus depuis le "Divine Intervention". Pas trop de morceaux de remplissages, des titres qui bastonnent biens ("Public Display...", "Psychopaty Red"). Je garde une bonne impression de cet album !

Mouais, pour ma part, je l'ai réécouté une fois depuis 6 mois, et je suis quand même assez déçu. Au départ, j'étais satisfait, mais finalement, je trouve cet album très moyen. Il n'a pas tenu sur la longueur

Pareil, j'accroche toujours autant, et je l'écoute régulièrement. Pour moi aussi, c'est le meilleur depuis Divine, et je le place presque au même niveau que ce dernier (que j'adore).
Chez moi, c'est Christ Illusion le seul qui manque...
Ad Metal Eternam a écrit :Clair ! Et puis Thrashos a le truc qui fait les vrais thrasheux et que n'auront jamais les donneurs de leçons pseudo-élitistes qui croient tout savoir: il est sympa
Non moi toujours pas acheté et c'est le seul qui me manque. Faut que je le prenne quand même, mais j'ai vraiment du mal avec le mixage, ce son de batterie passe vraiment pas et même les sons de grattes sont pas assez agressifs/incisifs je trouve... j'attend de voir ce que ça donne sur scène, je pense que le rendu sera meilleur... pour le moment j'accroche bien sur plusieurs titres mais le mixage me bloque carrément, au début ça allait, je pensais rentrer dedans plus en profondeur à force ( ), mais finalement j'en reste au même point.

La batterie n'est pas triggée, (tout comme sur le dernier Misanthrope par exemple) du coup elle sonne beaucoup plus naturelle et ce n'est pas pour me déplaire. Par contre le son des grattes est quand même bien cheap...il est pas dégueux en tant que tel mais il manque cruellement de distorsion. Pour un groupe de thrash ça le fait moyen...
bien d'accord avec Thrashos et Capitaine, en ce qui concerne le mixage des guitares qui est très très light ... je me suis remis sur cet album après un certain temps sans écoute et j'ai plus de mal qu'au début en fait, certains morceaux que je trouvais plutôt classe se révèle finalement tout juste moyen avec le temps...
The Aquarian Weekly: You've brought it up before, that you may see yourself getting to a point where you're too old for this shit. Would you even know how to wind down SLAYER if you could? Are you comfortable recuperating? Is it nice having Thanksgiving at home and not having to play the next night?
Araya: (laughs) Yeah, that's nice. That's nice being home. Dude, in the 30 years that I've been doing this, I've been married 15 years, and of those 15 years, I think I've spent maybe a total of 5 years with my family. The rest of the time is spent out on the road. If I'm not home, they're either with me or they're not. You get to that point. When I come home, I enjoy my time at home, because it's not something I get to do very often. I like it. Believe [me], it would not be an issue to wind down (laughs). When you've been going for 200 percent for 30 years, stopping and smelling the roses is not a problem. That's something I look forward to every time I come home.
The Aquarian Weekly: It doesn't seem that bands stop anymore. The Mick Jaggers and the Steven Tylers and the Bruce Springsteens.
Araya: The way the world is today, it's even allowing people to resurrect themselves. We're talking about bands that no longer existed coming back and doing reunion tours. Modern-day technology is allowing bands to go on living, go on existing, in a sense, even when the band is no longer around. As long as you have someone there pulling the strings, like the Wizard of Oz, you can sell millions of records and all kinds of product (laughs). You can have a long fruitful life if you don't piss anybody off (laughs). That's the way the world works, you piss somebody off and they turn their back on you. That's why I think we have such a loyal fanbase. When the record comes out and they put it on, "Dude, it's SLAYER." You don't put it on and go "Who's this?" They don't question the band. The minute they start questioning the band, that's where they lose it. JUDAS PRIEST, I was a big JUDAS PRIEST fan, somewhere along they line they came out with a record that I was like, "Ugh." And they followed it with another record that was "ugh." Same with the SCORPIONS. SCORPIONS are great! SCORPIONS have some great records. And all of a sudden someone told them you should write songs like this. And then every record was like that, and I was like, "Oh my God." You lose your longevity the minute you turn your back on your loyal fanbase.

Metromix Denver: It's somewhat unusual how much you dislike recording.
Kerry: Yeah, I'd rather tour. It's weird, because in the beginning, I'd rather record, because I hated to tour. But as you progress through your career, it gets easier to tour because you're in nicer hotels, better buses, and just better situations. But recording, I think, is a necessary thing because fans always want to hear new music, and you've got to incorporate it into the set — but the perfection of it, it's not fun. For me, anyway.
Metromix Denver: Do you think it's particularly hard to age in metal?
Kerry: Nah, I think metal keeps me young, man! [Laughs] If you saw my iPod, it's 95 percent metal, just as it would have been if we'd had iPods when I was 20. The funny thing is, there's comedy in there, there's "South Park" in there, there's stupid shit — but there's tons of metal.
Metromix Denver: Someone asked you not too long ago if you had any musical goals left and you — unusually for this business — said no.
Kerry: I'm fucking content, man. If my career ended tomorrow, I'd be like, "I did some good shit."
Metromix Denver: Does any part of you think it would have been interesting to have had METALLICA's career instead of yours?
Kerry: Not really, because I wouldn't have wanted to make up those records in the '90s. But, you know, METALLICA still plays some of that stuff. They played "Fuel" when we played with them like a month ago, and it fits right into the set, but that's just not stuff I would have liked to have written.
Metromix Denver: We just did a feature on bands — such as the current touring version of FOREIGNER — where it's, like, only one guy left from the original lineup. Is there any chance SLAYER would go on even one man down?
Kerry: No, I've discussed that a lot, and I think it's pretty much an unspoken thing amongst us that if any of us left, SLAYER's done, because we've all been a part of it for so long (except that we had a musical drummer-chair for a while). I think it would dilute what fans have come to expect. I don't fear that day because I've got so many friends in the business that I could do all kinds of projects with. So, when it's done, it's done. The next day, I move on and find the next band that's going to sound, musically, a lot like SLAYER. [Laughs]
