How anyone accuses Slayer of selling out to the rock/rap of the 90's era I'll never know. Araya doesn't come anywhere close to rapping on these tracks. I've got to admit though, I hated it when it was first released. I'm 34 now and have been listening to Slayer since I was in high school. That said, I was used to RiB/SoH/SitA and hated the mods made in this release. I got away from metal for years when it went with the rock/rap garbage (Linkin Park...ugh!!). That said, Lamb of God brought me back and I started downloading a lot of older material that I'd gotten rid of over the years. I spent the money and redownloaded this album and am pleasently surprised. The sound is far head of its time. Deaths Head is an awesome track along with Love to Hate. Lots of memorable tracks on here on a release too often overlooked. August 22, 2008

Probably one of Slayer's most creative albums. Those looking for full THRASH YOU [censored] BRAIN OUT metal album will be disappointed. The Tri-tone entrance that the album gets its name from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabolis_in_musica) is a spectacular piece of work and will be able to last the ages along side some more classical pieces of music.

Not their best, but it's pretty good.

I wanted to love this CD. Just look at the artwork in the booklet and behind the CD! A man shot in the head, his blood all over the wall behind him, a whole line of needles sticking in the underside of someone's arm, and a pair of lips sewn shut! Rock on!

But sadly the music just doesn't live up the imagery. Standout tracks are only "Bitter Peace" and "Point" which are the two more aggressive songs on the CD.

This was Slayer's most experimental album, an attempt to incorporate elements of the popular (and very awful) nu-metal genre which had appeared around this time. It's somewhat interesting to listen to, but the songwriting just feels weak and lacking compared to earlier works. Something just doesn't quite work in most of the songs but I can't figure out definitively what.

You'll have to really be into Slayer to jump for this one. March 25, 2008
