The most powerful, viscerally brutal album the quartet have released to date. [Sep 2001, p.100]
-
88Slayer remains an elemental metal band, continuing to surge on something high-grade and uncut.
-
They're still racing through their riffs with the velocity of a NASCAR winner. [21 Sep 2001, p.84]
-
80Slayer return to the knuckle-busting fury of their demonic 1986 speed metal classic, Reign in Blood, while still somehow managing to spike their sonic mayhem with some catchy riffing and the odd melodic vocal line.
-
80As feral and ferocious an album as they've made in years. [Oct 2001, p.130]
-
80'God Hates Us All' signals a return to the marked aggression of their earlier selves.... The only thing that inhibits this album is its one-dimensional pace, as one too many tracks features grinding verse leading into charging chorus, repeat to fade.
-
80Sounds like a tighter, more focused version of past glories.
-
80Don't worry--eight albums into their reign, Slayer still sound like Slayer. [Sep 2001, p.158]
-
God Hates Us All is Slayer's most brutal record since 1986's immortal (or undead) Reign in Blood.
-
70Slayer do what they do with impassioned authority, which is what makes an album full of vileness so compelling.
-
Slayer doesn't add any window dressing to its bile-filled Satanic metal. Instead, it just relies on its three core ingredients (speed, power, and precision), and as a result, its music is not only blisteringly potent, but also sort of fun.
-
60It's not as good as 1988's South of Heaven, but there's enough speaker-shredding guitar noise to make up for any vocal deficiencies. [Aug/Sep 2001, p.128]
