As time has went on by I have learned to enjoy Slayer's hyperaggressive and fast thrash- and speed metal. Before I only listened to their slower, heavier songs. I had great expectations when I saw them live 2 years ago but it was just a very boring concert. Every song sounded the same and was played in the same tempo. That has been a problem for many years with Slayer. That is also a slight problem on this album but the songs here are of very good quality and variated and when I have listened many times to the album I have learnded to enjoy the single songs. A whole album can be too much.
This was the first time since 1990 that the four original members played together on an album. Dave Lombardo on drums were back after many years. The album reached nr. 23 in the UK, nr. 5 in USA, nr. 4 in Sweden, nr. 9 in Poland, nr. 2 in Germany and Finland, nr. 3 in Canada and nr. 9 in Austria among other good chartpositions.

8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...
