    [Slaughterhouse is] a master's thesis of reverb, crafted by an electric orator who, more and more, finds the pithiest ways to worship the guitar as instrument, drug and weapon.

    Powerful album, the extreme garage rock possible. The guitars are amazing: they're the base of the songs. Great distortions. The last song is mind blowing. One of the best of the year!… Expand
