DanielR.Jul 20, 2009Slayer's best album since Season's, the album's higlight's are the the track's Flesh Storm, Jihad and Cult, could of used more of Hanneman's songwriting, but it's still a good album.

gordysSep 7, 2006As great as "Reign in Blood" is, this might be Slayer's best album yet. From the opening riff of Flesh Storm, to the closing note of Supremisy, this album is metal perfection! I'd also like to give a big WELCOME BACK to Dave Lombardo!

ThomBAug 21, 200625 years and many albums in and Slayer is at their peak. Not only does "Christ Illusion" hold it's own with their un-holy trinty of "Hell Awaits", "Reign In Blood" and "South of Heaven" - it manges at times to eclipse. World events being what they are, Slayer's rage at religion and war seem more warranted and important than ever.

SamuliLNov 19, 2006Christ illusions has its great moments like the opening track Flesh Storm,also Jihad,Catalyst,Consfearacy and supremist are exellent! The rest of the tracks are the avarage Slayer. After listening hunred times over i would say that it is not the best Slayer album,but it is not the worst!

BitBurnOct 12, 2006When I was a teenager I never was a big Slayer fan. Now twenty years later and in my mid-thirties I finally get it: Those guys kick ass!

TomFooleryAug 18, 2006This is one of the best metal albums you will hear in 2006. The return of DL on drums makes this there best album since Seasons. You can still hear some of the Nu-Metal experiments from the last couple albums, but overall they have tried to return to the sound that made them who they are. Who are they you say? The best Thrash-Metal band that has ever existed!

Feb 8, 2014This marvelous album is the biggest comeback after World Painted Blood. It gave the signals of World Painted Blood. Christ Illusion includes amazing songs such as Flesh Storm, Cult, Supremist and Catalyst. 9 out of 10 for this comeback.

Uncut[Drummer Dave Lombardo's] return hasn't complicated Slayer's brutal, single-minded aesthetic, but it has stoked the hellfire that merely sputtered on God Hates Us All. [Sep 2006, p.97]

An anti-Christian/anti-Islam/anti-Theocratic, anti-war album, Christ Illusion is essential for anyone interested in the genre.

They're not exactly shaking up their own heavy-duty formula, but with the hell-and-handbasket thing going strong, what difference does it make to them?
