Strange, I'm not a specialist in Slayer, but I really like them.

I've heard some of the early stuff, like Show No Mercy, Hell Awais and Reign In Blood, but, for some reason this album tells me a lot more than the early ones.

In fact I think Slayer grow up a lot, and the teenager trash metal evolves in something more, not fast all the time, sincpated, intrincated sometimes, but still very agressive. I just love Araya's bass sound and his anger voice, like if the words he's 'singing' REALLY means something to him, even if most of the songs are written by Jeff Hanneman.

Bitter Peace is for sure, one of their best songs ever, I just love that 'rush' in how Araya sing the words.

Great record, really great!!
