They all sound too similar and in many ways like they trying too hard to be fast and aggressive. I've been following Slayer since "Hell Awaits" and they always had a progression in their sound which made them interesting which I think has not been the case lately. Although I've got the albums I can recall very few songs that actually sticks. DIM is a great album in that respect since they at least tried to bring something new to their sound (something I think has been sorely lacking on the last albums). After hearing "Gemini" on "Undisputable Attitude" I was hoping that they would go for heavier instead of faster and DIM didn't disappoint in that respect. "Love to hate" is my personal favorite.

That explains why Jeff is playing a Les Paul and the bad sound. Diabolus was th first Slayer record I heard and I listened to it exclusively for weeks if not months. And by exclusively I mean I really listened to nothing else. This was the only cd I brought with me on holiday. Since then I was a Slayer fan.

Bought the day it came it out and always loved it. Not your typical slayer record but still one of the most evil records they've ever made and has a great creepy fuckin vibe. Still rock this record all the time. Fucking great album. Bought the day it came it out and always loved it.

I don't care if people give me shit for that. I'm not some young punk- I bought Reign in Blood when it came out. I can only see the comparisons to nu metal vaguely. Even so it would be nu metal done right- Solos. no whinng, no rapping, no super detuned guitars, etc. Stain of Mind is super aggressive and gets me pumped up every time I hear it. I still hate that Kerry talks shit about the album and blames it on Hanneman. After reading the credits of my Slayer albums I'm beginning to like Hanneman a lot more than King.

Good metal is made with the goal of creating art. Art can be aggressive, but aggression in a non-artistic manner is just retardation. I never said that Slayer and Sepultura weren't metal (they obviously are), but I did say that they were awful. And no, don't like Nevermore either, although Loomis is a good solo guitarist.

But my friends listened to shit like Korn so I let them go on thinking Follow the Leader was the shit while I jammed out to this album. It was instantly my favorite Slayer record, and by far the most memorable. So I found it quite funny to see this post on MS, and I knew the comments would be the same shit my friends said about this album. So to the detractors of this album, I ask: Have you really given it a chance? I mean, if this was their attempt at mass appeal then why is it their most underrated? I think it was their last good album and that everything since has been more mainstream sounding, especially cookie-cutter God Hates Us All. I couldn't find a track I liked on the album, and Christ Illusion was better but honestly it sounds a lot like DiM b-sides and I always skip around when I listen to it.

You probably hate Nevermore too, they have some groove in their music too. But whatever, the point of metal isn't to be artistic, it's supposed to be aggressive and heavy music, and artistry sometimes gets in the way of that. Some like Randy Rhoads and Jeff Loomis have the ability to mix those two, but it's not a requirement for metal.
