Hey Ace, you’re saying that if we agree that their last decent album is Divine Intervention then Show No Mercy probably doesn’t appeal? Did I read that right? What a bizarre statement.

I’d rank this as their all-time worst. They’ve managed to mostly sideline the nu-metal influence seen on Diabolus and GHUA, so thank Satan for small favors, but these songs are the flattest and dullest Slayer tunes yet. Nothing sticks. Nothing has any impact or energy behind it.

you should probably do some fact checking, as state above in the comments, Holt didn’t write any riffs on this.

Divine Intervention was their last decent album. After that it’s been lame dogshit. If you agree then obviously Show No Mercy probably doesn’t appeal to you.

This is another mostly flat, disappointing effort that fuels the argument that Slayer should just call it quits. Poor lyrics, crappy production and generally uninspired song-writing. I dig a few tracks, especially “Atrocity Vendor” and ‘You Against You” and the title track isn’t bad, but slim pickings overall. Nice review though.

Just out of curiosity…not say you haven’t but have you gone back further before Divine and listened to those albums? Whats your thoughts on those?

Holt wasn’t allowed to write on this album.

Nice review…I’ve only spun the album a few times, but I feel pretty much the same as you…Glad to see some love for Divine Intervention as well, I know a lot of people who have never cared for it, and I’ve never really understood why…but then again, I like Diabolus a lot too…I always thought that album really was cool, because we got more Hanneman than King…I believe Kerry only wrote one track on Diabolus..
