Slayer-Undisputed Attitude ***It's far from being one of their best or strongest albums. In fact it is somewhere near the bottom of the list. Even for a cover album this seems weak. It is loud, and fast, and powerful yes but many of the tracks sound like noise.As a massive fan of punk, and hardcore I was excited when I heard about this one. I was dissapointed needles to say. Araya is out of control here and it doesn't seem like he is really into the songs, whats more is you can't understand a single thing h..
I, too, used to dislike true hardecore punk, but with the help of this album and some others, I now really dig some of this stuff. The covers of some Minor Threat tunes on here, especially "Filler/I Don't Want to Hear it" are incredible.Dissent seems to be the overwhelming overtone throughout much of the album and that's what Slayer is all about. This is nothing short of what I'd expect from them and is undoubtedly one of the best cover albums ever released.
first off if you hate punk you'll probably hate this but you should consider that thrash metal is a conglomeration of classic metal riffs and lyrical themes with punk rock attitude and speed (isn't Ac/Dc punk rock with guitar solos?). when taken in that context you might better understand where slayer comes from. or maybe it's not metal enough for you...whatever. It's better than anything Metallica has done in the last 17 years so....MEH!
