The true faithful will want this and most likely really get off on it. Originally released in 1996, the album sees Slayer paying tribute to their hardcore punk influences with interpretations of songs by bands including Minor Threat, Verbal Abuse and TSOL. Slayer's Undisputed Attitude feels more like a stopgap than an actual Slayer record. This downgrade would prove to be short-lasting because no other later release managed to sink to such a low level as "Undisputed Attitude" does so liberally. At least I have the privilege to claim this release as an exceptional anomaly because I've always enjoyed all other releases from Slayer for the most part. 's classic "Violent Pacification" is convincing, with Bostaph putting the gas pedal to the floor as he blasts away through the frenetic first half and pounding the hell out of his tom toms in the slower second half. A great Slayer song, no doubt, and one that should of jumped to Diabolus in Musica, cos that album is in dire need of good material. Or - worse still - they wanted to create an additional purchase incentive at the expense of their integrity. And the bands selected here were all vital influences in the early architecture of Slayer. It's way too slow, but Tom's clean vocals in the verse sections are a welcome innovation. Plus one trademark twisted Slayer song: Gemini. To date I've managed to track down and hear about half of the original versions and by God, Slayer somehow does it better, or at least just as well. The music is altogether very tightly performed and the sound is a clear and punchy one, with the guitars and drums simply being much heavier and louder than what those old bands could achieve. If you want to hear what real hardcore from back in the day sounded like, delivered by a band that obviously loves and respects the genre, you could do worse than picking this up. From my point of view, they should not and cannot be taken seriously. Actually, this album is not one of my favorites. his vocals throughout are fantastic, and I can envision him turning bright red, spit flying, veins bulging as he rants away with feverish intensity. This is pretty much dependent on whether or not you like hardcore punk. I wonder how the actual bands would sound like. Most of the song is all made up from the essential elements of riff, chorus, abusive shouts and fast paced drums, with a few solos. That album took the ferocious anger and purity of intention that was hardcore and embalmed it in evil, taking an already speedy genre and amping it up to eleven. On "Guilty Of Being White" (Minor Threat), a song about reverse racism issues in ghettos, they deliberately changed the final line to "guilty of being right!" As it is, Undisputed Attitude is an interesting fan relic, but not a great deal more – the one new Slayer song present, Gemini, is the dirge-y nonsense that would go on to fill their next album, and that style is only intermittently worthy there; here, it sounds too pointlessly Doomy, and is utterly forgettable. Their riffs are convincingly suitable for this album which exhibits full fledged catchy tunes. Slayer - Undisputed Attitude review: The best covers album in metal and possibly the best covers album of all time Highlights... probably the DRI song Violent Pacification, or maybe the old Hannemann project DDAMM... or maybe Can't Stand You. "Undisputed Attitude" is Slayer's attempt at crafting punk inspired thrash metal, running at around 35 minutes long in total. Alas, that's something I have to live with and express my distaste for this full-length by writing a review on it. Read and write album reviews for Undisputed Attitude - Slayer on AllMusic "Yes, we want to cover raw and violent punk classics. There are numerous names here; TSOL, D.R.I., Dr. Know, The Stooges and perhaps most notably Verbal Abuse, who show up a whopping 5 times in the track list. It took me quite sometimes to accept their punk inclination that seems nonsense at first. for their, lest we forget their first albums' influence on Slayer's "Reign In Blood" (listen to the "Dirty Rotten LP" and "Dealing With It" one more time) or Lombardo wearing D.R.I. The bass work is really proficient and the few bass leads that are sprinkled here and there are enjoyable and frequent enough to merit a passing mention. SLAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER! Even though you should never judge a book by its cover, the cover art of this musical atrocity is equally atrocious and should, in … Slayer can only sound like Slayer in the end, even when performing a near-Xerox caliber cover. Sandy Masuo of Rolling Stone reasoned: "some punk purists will undoubtedly cry foul, but when the dust settles it's hard to argue with Slayer's mettle." The sole original tunes on here, the Ddamm songs and "Gemini" are good as well; the Ddamm songs are fun to scream along to with mindless lyrics and the circle pit part on "Can't Stand You" is awesome! The originals I have heard: Verbal Abuse (Verbal Abuse), Superficial Love (TSOL), Filler/I Don't Wanna Hear It + Guilty of Being White (Minor Threat), Violent Pacification (DRI), I'm Gonna Be Your God (Stooges), and I Hate You (Dictators?) Instead, he seems to scream permanently "piss off", while using mysteriously other words for that friendly invitation. In case you didn't figure it out by now, I'm in love with Slayer. Compared with their working results, the two punk-influenced creations of Jeff Hanneman (R.I.P.) Just like in the third track “Abolish Government / Superficial Love” and Hanneman’s unnamed punk side projects “Can’t Stand You” and “Ddamm”. Even though you should never judge a book by its cover, the cover art of this musical atrocity is equally atrocious and should, in … Not to go out and buy it, but to actually understand what it was that I was hearing. Most songs are really upbeat and the lyrics are dumbed down enough to have very sing-along choruses in every song. Repentless, the 12th album from the thrash metal institution Slayer, comes at the most fraught time in the band's career. This downgrade would prove to be short-lasting because no other later release managed to sink to such a low level as "Undisputed Attitude" does so liberally. The 90s were the times when Slayer sounded sinister in a different way than the one we were used to in their 80s works. View all reviews for Slayer - Undisputed Attitude. I’m not going to review Undisputed Attitude since it’s a covers album, but it does tell you everything about how the next couple of Slayer albums would pan out. But that's not about it: 3 originals by Slayer are added as well. 1996, 2CD, American Recordings (Limited edition). - lyrics. The only song you might not mind is "Gemini," a Slayer original.

Give Your Opinion on Undisputed Attitude. The drums sound punk and fucking clear, the bass is heard well.And fuck, even Tom Araya sounds punk! Undisputed Attitude (1996) “ Even though it’s a cover album, I consider it part of their discography because punk is a big part of Slayer’s evolution. Rather than another set of blasting, disturbing originals like 1994's Divine Intervention or 1995's Serenity in Murder EP, this album is a collection of covers. "Diabolus in Musica" fans, get this because although being a almost, kind of 80% punk record still has some similar sound to Slayer's 1998 record and I think you'll like it..."Diabolus" haters...if you are interested in this one, get it...if you are not interested, forget about it... You have to wonder how much time this took to record- the vibe on the record suggests a very quick, warts-and-all recording, which is pretty ideal for this sort of music. Not for children of course. Slow as death itself, with Tom sounding sinister as hell, as if he wants to cut your throat when you least expect it. Since the time that I bought this, I got into hardcore punk. The level of creativity of most songs on here is shameful for a band that had released some legendary albums. Reviews. His scream in "Memories of Tomorrow" is better than Mike Muir's on both the original and the re-recorded version, for instance. Even during the album's most mid-paced moments the music is furious and driven, whether that be the rather dark and humorous re-write of The Stooges' 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' in 'I'm Gonna Be Your God', the menacing as hell cover of Dr. Know's 'Mr. We cant call this a perfectly produced album...by the sound, and although not being totally produced by Rick Rubin, you immediately notice that this is Slayer...It's not a bad mixture or sound, I just think those guitars weren't sharped enough at that time and that drum sound should've been a little different in the end, but...if you like the though, raw and rough Slayer, then this is perfect album for you. There’s more than meets the eye in this album. 'Gemini' is a very unusual track for the band as it is in fact a sludge/doom metal song; it's as if the band looked back on their influences on this album and then took those influences in a totally different direction. Every song is special in its own way. Fuck 'em! Undisputed Attitude was released on May 28, 1996, and peaked at number 34 on the Billboard 200 album chart. An acoustic amok run reminds us that the fucked up universe also knows good extreme music which cannot be labelled as metal. So to sum it up, if you like hardcore punk and/or Slayer, you may want to look this one up, hopefully not just for completion. He's far tighter and more intense on this album, and the bits of double kick he throws in fit well and don't come off as gratuitious at all, to my surprise. Nice, but unspectacular.). These punk covers were the material that clearly influenced Slayer in their beginnings and over the years that came. (As a marginal note: the second CD offers three live tracks, among other things a cover version of Venom. And he really beats the crap out of the thing, too. Araya seems to enjoy singing the verses as well as the choruses with pure relaxation as though he was drinking a glass of champagne with ease. Slayer have always made it clear that this played a big part in their sound and style, and this album is a very convincing run through of some golden oldies from that era. Can't Stand You 5. These bands had a major impact on Slayer's sound and thrash metal as a whole; specific examples being how hardcore-leaning a lot of Divine Intervention is and the stripped down nature of Reign in Blood. "Slayer's Undisputed Attitude feels more like a stopgap than an actual Slayer record. To my surprise, Paul Bostaph earns the award for "Most Improved" on this album, as his drum performance here leaves his sloppy showing on "Divine Intervention" in the dust in more ways than one. What a naive approach to one of the best cover albums money can buy. Undisputed Attitude is a collection of punk covers Slayer recorded and released in 1996 as the follow-up to 1990's Seasons in the Abyss. Most tracks on the album are in a fast-paced, simple and aggressive hardcore/crossover style. And if you don't like punk, you'll think this is pure shit. Hearing Slayer blaze through such classics as Minor Threat's 'Filler' and 'I Don't Wanna Hear It' is literally breathtaking, in that they retain the essence of Minor Threat's self-righteous anger while still retaining their own signature thrash aggression. Araya’s vocals are also at its best since I could feel that he sings every song with full spirit and dedication. "Undisputed Attitude" is an album featuring covers by punk, crossover and hardcore acts that have influenced Slayer plus the original composition "Gemini". Slayer rubs their noses in it by being punk as fuck yet metal as death. Lastly, since we're reviewing a fuckin' Slayer record, there couldn't be a lack in controversy, now could it? That’s about the only positive I can come up with however, as the music itself is one dimensional and … Genre: Hardcore Punk. The drumming on this release is the second saving grace for this album as it is really solid, well mixed and kept things fresh when all else failed. I've always imagined that Kerry has a really high pitched voice though, so perhaps that's why. Pretty much the kinds of bands that Slayer covers on this. Tom's vocals are similar to how they were on Divine Intervention, a very hardcore-ish yell that while a tad monotonous on that album perfectly fits the shorter songs here. The adrenaline rush seems to be unstoppable. Punk-fueled thrash metal, built to destroy, straight from a basement rehearsal room somewhere in Los Angeles. Undisputed Attitude is the seventh studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer. If you're looking for thrash metal, turn back. I think we all agree that "Undisputed Attitude" is Slayer's most exceptional album. Verbal Abuse / Leeches 3. To add insult to injury, the slow-moving "Gemini" stands in sharp contrast to the other songs and it does not reach the expected level of aggression and velocity. Its very atmospheric with slow singing, throbbing bass and sluggish riffs. Slayer – Repentless Review. This is the slayer we all know and it's a The drumming is even more frantic than the originals (thank you, Paul Bostaph), the guitars are even heavier and more destructive, and in a few rare moments, Tom's vocals are even better than the original singers. LABEL: Zittercombinat (ZK) Records CAT.NR. Well, let’s put this in some more accessible terms. That intro scream of Tom Araya pretty much sums up the feeling of this release. to Iggy Pop. The delivery is intense and energetic. But that is another story. Tom's Voice sounds lifeless and void of energy. If you think so, check out "Undisputed Attitude" from Slayer. It sounds like Slayer taking lounge singing courses; even Dead Skin Mask is more fun than that song, and that's saying a lot. Most guitar work is restricted to power-chords with occasional thrash inspired riffs here and there just for the sake of keeping some sort of ungodly balance to this utter madness. Slayer . Slayer - Undisputed Attitude (1996) Ben / January 16, 2019 / Comments 0 / 1 Slayer took a break from writing awesome thrash metal to record an album of typically one-dimensional hardcore punk. His voice is distorted with a filter too often, but he sounds angry and has a lot of power to his voice which is what is needed for this kind of music. As for “I’m Gonna be your God” and “Richard Hung Himself” these tracks are suitable for mature audiences only! Undisputed Attitude came out the summer before my senior year in High School and remained firmly ensconced in my cassette deck throughout that summer as my friends and I drove to hardcore punk and metal shows throughout the Central New York region. It's well-produced, too, which makes these songs have even more impact than the original versions in that respect; the guitars have that trademark grungy Slayer tone from back in the day, the drums are perfectly mixed, and the bass is even audible, something you don't hear on a Slayer album. Listening to this album is like peering behind the veil of what made Reign In Blood so iconic a decade earlier. Undisputed Attitudedig it; 2.6 average. album: "Undisputed Attitude" (1996) 1. Well, I don't think so...why would then Slayer put out an album with some punk covers (not very similar to their style) instead of another "Divine Intervention" or a compilation that would make them and their money hungry filthy managers and record companies gain some more $$$$? “Violent Pacification” is something that I thought never got a chance to fuel my adrenalin, but this song’s cool and stylistically insane with Araya’s crispy bass volume perhaps unmatched to the original band itself. He sounds less demonic than on the regular albums. Even almost 20 years after the release, I am still slightly confused about the offering of "Gemini", that does not fit into the scheme. ", but done with passion and conviction; something that Slayer couldn't be accused of on the actual studio albums that came after this. The guitar sounds punk. Undisputed Attitude is a curiosity; it's far from an essential collection by Slayer. The bass work is really proficient and the few bass leads that are sprinkled here and there are enjoyable and frequent enough to merit a passing mention. Most of the songs are too fucking short to develop more than a couple of ideas for each "song", However, in hindsight, there isn't much variety between each of the 14 songs on this release. It's a passionate celebration of their influences; instead of this sounding like 4 ageing men playing the songs of their youth to try and recapture it, it sounds like a group of musicians who clearly take great joy in playing the classics they listened to growing up, so much so that they beat out a good chunk of their original material while doing so. Simple, three chord riffs with a few pretty fast 16th notes and solos thrown in- perhaps to thrash it up, I don't know- a polka beat with some extra speed added and the snare hit harder- lots of yelling with the occaisonal slower section or song thrown in for a breather- the epic doomy/sludge album closer that's "Gemini" being a rather cool- and rather surprising- example. "Gemini" is the creepiest thing they'd written in years at the time; a slow, simple riff with doomy ambience that really works and a solo that evokes Tony Iommi in his prime. The painful irony about this entire situation is the fact that even though this release seems to have been an attempt by Slayer to stay relevant, it has been pushed to the wayside by the better quality of subsequent releases and seems to have been largely forgotten about by most fans. It's intense and there's heaps of energy, the band tight and really fierce and raw. Freeze' or something as simple as Verbal Abuse's 'I Hate You'. Or get them doing gang vocals? The addition of machine gun blast beats in certain songs immediately told me to listen to this album even further. It. As I said, not a Slayer album for all Slayer fans but in the end, it still manages to sound good. No big deal, though. The covers here are 100% Slayer without sacrificing tradition so to speak... in lieu of sloppy strummed power chords are fast tremelo picking and the occasional solo. The music on here doesn't age well and the level of understanding Slayer had of "hardcore punk" at that certain point in time is frankly embarrassing. The level of creativity of most songs on here is shameful for a band that had released some legendary albums. Man, that song suuuuucks hard. Most tracks on the album are in a fast-paced, simple and aggressive hardcore/crossover style. But yeah, this is definitely worth picking up for the fun factor and the energy level as well. The riffs are tighter and heavier than ever and are the backbone of the album, giving each and every song a new lease on life. Undisputed Attitude may stand as Tom Araya's last admirable vocal performance, and that alone makes it a must for fans. Tom Araya screams his head off in this one spewing all the pissed off, hate filled lyrics to fast thrashy riffs and furious punk style drumming making this an all out punk massacre!! And I do not think that we have to discuss about these lyrics. Hell, two of the tracks on here ('Ddamn'; 'Can't Stand You') are from Pap Smear, Dave & Jeff's short-lived punk band with members of Suicidal Tendencies. Can't Stand You and DDAMM were to be something in Pap Smear (Hanneman/Lombardo/Rocky George crossover project that never released anything), definitely different from what Slayer have ever done. Slayer's decision to give tribute to their hardcore roots rather than their metal ones was controversial for sure, but I think a better choice at the end of the day. Cash grabber?? Undisputed Attitude has been listed as one of the Music good articles under the good article criteria.If you can improve it further, please do so. Undisputed Attitude has a great punchy production and an unquestionable energy, with the quick-fire recording (three to four weeks) only adding to the urgency of it all. The solid but fairly weary composition fails to enrich the catalogue of Slayer sustainably. Screaming these lyrics out at the top of your lungs is all fine and good, but why not get Kerry or Jeff to do a song or two? Towards the end the song explodes in a violent fit of thrashing while Tom shouts 'Feel the pain that stares at the center of your heart, reflections of my soul, reflections of the dark!' I give them credit for mostly not choosing obvious bands (other than Minor Threat) from the genre to cover, first of all; not many folks these days remember the likes of D.I., TSOL, Dr. Know, and Verbal Abuse. And since we're talking punk and hardcore, it's got that raw feel that I truly love about this release and that's what makes it so special in the Slayer catalogue. Suicidal Tendencies, DRI, Dead Kennedys, etc. t-shirts ever since the "Show No Mercy" days (check Combat Tour videos). The crude authors of the original versions knew their business. Highlights include: Richard Hung Himself, Verbal Abuse/Leeches, and Filler. I also want to close this review by talking about Undisputed Attitude, because I think it frames a lot of what Slayer would go on to do with future releases. This one is a weird album. The album consists almost entirely of punk rock/hardcore punk cover songs. After having performed the first high velocity eruptions, the band does not get out of breath and the level of harshness remains unaffected. It seems as if Slayer did not trust their own concept. This is an essential album for any fan of Slayer or hardcore punk; in particular the Japanese version as that features the most material. Well...almost punk, as I think that this one is what we should call a thrash/punk fusion. Where's there any aggression in that? Despite this being primarily an album of covers, there is an exclusive original song here too. Best viewed without Internet Explorer, in 1280 x 960 resolution or higher. Despite being an album comprised nearly entirely of covers, the songs the band chose to cover here means that they fit very snugly with a lot of their original material, and it's a very consistent listen unlike the compilation-like nature of something like Garage Inc.. On this album, the band covers some 17-19 songs from punk rock and hardcore acts spread across 13-15 tracks, depending on your version. The album sounds fucking angry and hilarious at the same time. Instead of going the conventional route of obvious covers and butchered classics, Slayer tap their punk influence for Undisputed Attitude.... you can really hear how much the raw intensity of bands like Minor Threat and TSOL affected their sound, particularly that of Reign in Blood. do not leave a lasting impression. Araya's vocals are just a bit overdistorted, but the guitars come in loud and clear, and provide the extra spark that the original punk bands sometimes had, and sometimes did not. and "Ddamn", really a punk rock attitude song mixing some metal riffs in 1 min (!!!). When I say "old school", I mean as in early 1980s, when hardcore was frenzied, furious at the world at large, got in, made its point, and got out inside of a minute and change, all at about 100mph, with ranting screaming vocals and energy to spare. The true faithful will want this and most likely really get off on it. Even though you should never judge a book by its cover, the cover art of this musical atrocity is equally atrocious and should, in this case, be used considered as an appropriate presentation. Guilty Of Being White The latter is particularly evident when listening to this as Undisputed Attitude is the closest the band ever got to rekindling the spirit of their 1986 magnum opus. Containing 14 tracks, the band covers everyone from Minor Threat to T.S.O.L., from D.I. Don't know about you, but I love some political incorrectness once in a while. Containing 14 tracks, the band covers everyone from Minor Threat to T.S.O.L., from D.I. The songs barrel along as if there is no tomorrow. So how was that? Rather than another set of blasting, disturbing originals like 1994's Divine Intervention or 1995's Serenity in Murder EP, this album is a collection of covers. Jeff Hanneman and King are doing their job well in ensuring that their punk - inspired thrash sound never go out of style. It's a dark and powerful note to end the album on, and it's a shame the band would never again explore this direction as this is the last truly atmospheric song the band would ever write and is one of their all-time great songs. The overall essence of this release is quite puzzling and this is because it sounds like a blatant cash grab and anomaly in Slayers' entire discography. Ddamm and Can't Stand You are culled from Jeff's days in a sloppy hardcore bad.. pretty amateur, but also entertaining. Its concept is questionable. Blasts of noise like D.R.I. The music on here doesn't age well and the level of understanding Slayer had of "hardcore punk" at that certain point in time is frankly embarrassing. Undisputed Attitude has a great punchy production and an unquestionable energy, with the quick-fire recording (three to four weeks) only adding to the urgency of it all. I could've done with a Bad Brains tune or two, myself, but that's just my preference. Song titles such as "Guilty of Being White", "Violent Pacification" or "Richard Hung Himself" show impressively that Slayer know how to play the game of provocation. Since this was after the release of Undisputed Attitude, that's Jon Dette behind the kit.Dette was in Slayer between 1996 and 1997, and then toured with the band again in … To play punk songs means more than killing your instrument within 90 seconds. Ddamm (Drunk Drivers Against Mad Mothers) 6. Hell, none of them are particularly bad. I just want to say that I am no expert for punk music and I do not know the original tunes. Undisputed Attitude is a fast, fun, angry and violent album, one that is a look into the DNA that makes Slayer's music (and thrash metal as a whole) tick. Also included are As he proved back in 1986, he can deliver the lines on even the fastest songs in a ranting and rapid-fire fashion, with a lot of precision and control. I'd rate it higher if it were an actual Slayer album, since they've not had this kind of energy since the days of "South of Heaven" and "Seasons in the Abyss" (on the faster numbers from that album anyway), but this is still a really good album anyway. But hey, that's what it is... simplistic punk rock. By Dr. Fisting on September 11, 2015 in 2015, American Metal, Nuclear Blast, ... “You Against You” is actually fun once it kicks in, bringing in some of that Undisputed Attitude punk aggression and topping it off with plenty of guitar divebombs. Then again, the bass led the charge much of the time in hardcore's glory days, and Tom Araya gets lots of chances to shine throughout the album with a dirty bass sound that adds healthy amounts of heft and grit to the overall wall of sound, but it' s not so fuzzed out you can't hear what he's doing. Undisputed Attitude is an interesting album. Not that there's much competition, but this would easily be the best Slayer album since South of Heaven, at the very least, if not Reign in Blood.
