I just got Slayer's new album, Christ Illusion, i dunno if it's thier newest, anyways, anyone else here likes Slayer?
 
yeah Reign in blood was fantastic, i also liked god hates us all, and have only heard parts of the new album but i like it

i was lucky enough to see them live when they came to Halifax in 04 its what got me into slayer
and another good thing about the show i got to see Dimebag Darrel before he died like 6, 7 months later (damage plan opened for slayer)
 
There are a few really good riffs, but overall, the album is mired in mall/nu-core leanings, something Slayer has been dabbling in for a decade, now. The -core influence is much less pronounced than it was on God Hates Us All, but it's still enough to turn me off from the album a bit. I think the band's too old to attempt to recapture its youth, really.

I enjoy every release from "Show No Mercy" to "Divine Intervention," with "South of Heaven" being my favorite.
