Slayer repentless box set editition2/14/2023 The production value is decent and gets the job done. Therefore, I won't talk about the equalization like I usually do in my reviews since that should give you a basic idea of it. ![]() Usually, they seem to either just have a typical distorted tone or they just give it the Dimebag tone. Something I notice about most thrash metal albums is that there doesn't seem to be much focus when it comes to the tones of the bass and guitars. Tom Araya does play bass during the vocals so I will give him credit for at least doing something that I couldn't do. However, I feel like vocal technique is just something I should point out in an album review. It's basically just yelling vocals the whole time, which is fine by me since this is a thrash metal album. ![]() The bass doesn't really play anything different from the guitar and the drums are nothing special. That's coming from someone who listens to noisegrind. The guitar solos are genuinely overuse the whammy bar and sound way too chaotic. That is the only problem this album did not fix. ![]() I know I might get shit for this, but I hate Slayer's guitar solos so much. The best things about the guitar are obviously the riffs. The instruments used are what you would expect in a metal band: guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. However, despite being formulaic, I feel this album followed the Slayer formula best. The instrumentation is the typical Slayer formula: a bunch of cool riffs, shreddy guitar solos, skank beats, and yelling vocals. Let's take a look at Repentless by Slayer. However, this is definitely their heaviest album, no doubt. I am speaking in the perspective of someone who didn't grow up in a time where they were the heaviest band out there. They're pretty bland and boring in retrospect. If there's one thing that stands out the most about them it's that their albums as a whole aren't very good. ![]() I have listened to a lot of Slayer in my life.
