Al Quint gave the new slayer album a pretty good review. anyone got a copy yet, ill bring some beers if i can get a listen in... SLAYER-World Painted Blood (American, CD) Friends, metal-heads, Slayer fans--lend me your ears. There is no way in hell this band will EVER top "Reign In Blood" or perhaps "South of Heaven." There's always skepticism as to whether the old guard 80s thrash metal combos can deliver the proverbial goods. Well, "World Painted Blood" is a pretty noble attempt and better than anything they've put out this decade. I'm not damning with faint praise, either. Sure, one could roll their eyes with the dramatic build-up for the opening title track that sounds more than a little like "Raining Blood." For the seething 'n gripping track "Playing With Dolls," I also have to make a bit of a comparison to "Spill The Blood." There's the bridge for "Beauty Through Order" where you're waiting for Araya to bray "I HAVE YET ONLY JUST BEGUN TO TAKE YOUR FUCKING LIFE." Speaking of which, one of the most chilling things I ever experienced at a show was when "Criminally Insane" was being played between sets at the Orpheum and over 2000 headbangers yelled that line in unison. Getting back to "WPD," though, it's lean, streamlined speed metal that has no fancy stuff. Lyrics certainly express zilch optimism, from the first line, "disease spreading death/entire population dies." "Americon" delves into American occupation in other lands that's "all about the motherfuckin' oil." Blood, death and destruction, just the way you like it. "WPD" is definitely a back-to-the-roots album and there could be some scoffing about rehash and the like. A comment like that could easily be said about the umpteenth generation D-beat knockoff too. It's about playing it well, playing it the right way and that's the case here
