Definitely their best album since 1990's Seasons In The Abyss, Slayer have come back out on top of their game.

On Christ Illusion, the first album to feature all four original members since 1990's Seasons in the Abyss, the veteran trash-metalheads launch political and social hand grenades such as "Jihad," "Flesh Storm" and "Supremist," all delivered with a barrage of head-banging riffs and double-time rhythm.

Despite the title Christ Illusion, war in the name of any religious belief is attacked mercilessly throughout the new album, encapsulated perfectly on the bruising opening track “Flesh Storm”, as bassist/vocalist Tom Araya bellows, “It’s all just psychotic devotion… Here the only law / Is men killing men / For someone else’s cause.”

"Progressive" is too strong a word for it, but at least Slayer's still progressing.

If you're the sort of person who only buys one metal album a year, then you'd probably be better off buying the new Mastodon album 'Blood Mountain' and going to see Slayer live but otherwise, what the hell are you waiting for...

It's a cacophonous, chaotic and controversial attack on conformity, Christianity, combat and clear hearing. The cover pictures a drugged-up, mutilated Jesus. The lyrics (that we can print) are mostly along the lines of, "Religion is hate, religion is fear, religion is war / Religion is rape, religion's obscene, religion's a whore."

At almost 40 minutes, the length and pacing are perfect, and production quality is hard to complain about. Classic Slayer fans should easily find solace here; anyone else can just expect basic, well-executed but relatively uninspired thrash metal.

SLAYER!!!!! Seriously though, it's not a bad record and somehow avoids sounding really dated. It's not adventurous either, but you pretty much know what you're getting into if you're considering picking up this record.
