    This entire album has been the story of the human race since the year it was released. It's also an awesome coping album when you just want to die. This **** makes me want to live and prosper and prove to myself that I can do anything. Thanks Slayer, as always, your **** shreds.

    Incredible how this album squanders evilness and aggressiveness. God Hates Us All is one of heaviest Slayer and metal albums of all time. It got pinch of nu metal (that's new no more) that listener notices for minimalist riffs, that makes album sounds a little repetitive, even for band's standards, which for itself has few variations.

    This was Slayer's first album in years that sounded truly legitimately angry. After the nu metal tendencies of Diabolus in Musica, fans were left wondering if Slayer had begun to ababdon their roots, and this album quickly eradicated those fears.

Songs such as "Disciple" and "Bloodline" are right up there with classics such as "Angel of Death" and "War Ensemble". "Payback" is one of the angriest, least commercial sounding songs to be released by a band with this much recognition. The lyrics are full of profanity on some tracks, unlike earlier albums, but this tends to work to the band's advantage, as Tom Araya sounds like he's far beyond his breaking point on these songs, like he's legitimately going to emerge from your speakers and tear out your eyes and rip off your flesh. God Hates Us All is terrifyingly brutal.… Collapse

    Well, this album doesn't deserve that score. Songs does not have that unique Slayer atmosphere in my opinion, it sounds so generic. Riffs are not enough fast, wicked and complex. They all sound same and all of them are repetitive. Tom is just yelling, it's not his style. I can't hear "real Tom" in this album. I just can't hear the brutality. Solos suck as usual.

    The most brutal Slayer album ever. I don;t know why so many hate it. Of course, it's not the unparallelled gem that Reign In Blood is...but it's my 4th favourite Slayer album after RIB,Seasons and Christ illusion(yes, you read that right..Christ Illusion).

    Okay, I dont listen to metal ever, and I'm not sure as to what their other albums are like but I'm pretty sure this is probably the most (tastefully) progressive metal album I've ever heard. Beyond how exhausting it is, it's a thrillride with (most importantly) something to say. It puts alot of other bands that have hid behind their image to shame.

    Possibly the best Slayer album ever. Certainly in the running with Reign in Blood and South of Heaven. Whoever is saying Christ Illusion is a true return to form and citing Seasons in the Abyss as its inspiration is missing the point with Slayer entirely. Seasons in the Abyss is a 7 at best, and Christ Illusion doesn't even match that. Sad, after the brilliance of God Hates Us All.

    For Slayer it's terrible! There's none of thier classic demonic riffing like in reign in blood or show no mercy. Kerry King can NOT sing either, Tom's not the lead singer anymore. Slayers made a change for the worse in this album.

    Slayer are back with a vengence. After some overly technical releases and an over-produced (but still great) album of punk covers the return to their bloodied and defient roots and scare the hell out of everyone with this brutal rampage of an album. There are a few forgettable tracks but the killer tracks Disciple, Exile and Payback prove they still have what it takes.

    Unrelentless, brutal, accurate, moving. Slayer have never dissapointed, the sound is fresher and the anger is even more evident. Simply the angriest, heaviest, and most clear-cut album I have ever heard. Slipknot is a joke compared to this.

    Slayer is, and always will be the one who would remain after nuclear winter and slaughter the poseurs where they may still remain. This album goes to show that its not about the nookie or the motherfucking end of everything.....This is real metal, refined metal and if you are anything close to human and have a rebellious mind...I highly recommend this satanic relic
