Undisputed Attitude [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
The Jayhawks' breakthrough album is a roots rock classic. "Like folk music, but really loud," is how guitarist Gary Louris liked to describe the Jayhawks, but the reality is more complex--try the country-rock sound of the Flying Burrito Brothers, Neil Young, or the Band married to white-boy soul, bar band rawness, and a slight alternative edge. Hollywood Town Hall is a masterpiece of American songwriting, blending irresistible melodies, ringing guitars, and Louris and Olson's gorgeous harmonies with moody, imagery-rich lyrics. Best cuts: "Waiting for the Sun," "Take Me with You (When You Go)." --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Because the Jayhawks' lyrics are more interested in expressing a mournful mood than in evoking any specific emotion, and since their strengths are searing guitar solos and cathartic, Gram Parsons-influenced harmonies, it makes sense their best album would come when they teamed with a producer (George Drakoulias) who could make all that sorrowful noise come to life. Hollywood Town Hall is such a sonic marvel, in fact, that even the new version of the beautiful, if vague, "Two Angels"... read more --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Slayer Shows Their Real Influences........2007-07-18

This is the music that Slayer was truly inspired by. The 80's hardcore attitude. Minor Threat, TSOL, The adolescents, The stooges. That right there is some of the best music you'll ever hear. Slayer is an incredible band and I like that they covered punk bands who influenced them because that's pretty much where the thrash genre originated from. Thank you Slayer. You guys shredded in the 80's and you're still thrashin' now. Keep up the hardcore and punk attitude. And why don't you cover a Dead kennedys song?

Punk Ain't Dead.......2007-06-03

Being relativly new to Slayer I can still understand why some fans might feel alinated by this album, but I can't understand why anyone would call Slayer sellouts for making a punk tribute album done in classic Slayer fashion. Basicaly you have an album full of two minute Slayer songs . And the problem is what exactally????? These aren't Ramone's or Clash covers, they pull off beautifuly 3 Minor Threat songs which are among my fav's. You get the same Slayer sound only without the satanic lyrics. Top notch album.

I don' think you quite understand the concept sellout......................2007-03-31

This is my favorite Slayer album (gasp). Slayer playing old school hardcore punk covers -- could anything be more fun?? This is one brutal disc and it is exceptional. Awesome display of chops!

If you are some sort of metal purist,well then you shouldn't be listening to thrash, let alone Slayer. To call this album a "sellout" is ridiculous and demonstrates a high degree of ignorance. How can an album so brutal be a "sellout"??

This album is flawless. And Gemini is one of the best Slayer songs ever!

Comment to who ever wrote "Undisputed Sellouts".......2006-08-01

First off, kid. What's your age, 12? Slayer's Undisputed Attitude is not a new album, it's over 10 years old (may be older than you). Second, how is Slayer selling out by doing a tribute to music that basically started hardcore, thrash and speed metal (which Slayer was considered in the beginning) along with many other of the genres today. Do some research on punk and see all of the genres that came from it. Also, is it a crime for Slayer to be a fan of punk? Third, Slayer has come out with several albums since then and none of them are slow or even a different style of music. They don't even campare to the change that Metallica went through. Learn what a sellout is and don't run your mouth so much!!

Ultimate headbanging fun.......2004-01-19

I dunno why some reviewers bashed this CD. It never meant to be serious Slayer product. Rather, it's their tribute to those bands that they loved to listen to while being teenagers. And it's also a proof that 1980's punk is a very aggressive and violent music.

I was stuck from the 1st spin, really. It's a simple yet effective, often at 160+ bpm, angry, straight, in-ya-face music. It screams "Love me or get the hell outta here", and that's cool. My favourite tracks here are the speedy ones, and "Richard Hung Himself", too.
And the new Slayer tune, "Gemini" proved to me that there's something in Bostaph's drumming that I might have missed listening to "Divine Intervention". The drum fills and skillful tempo delays in the end of this track are a must-hear Slayer-esque classics.

Don't expectanything serious out of this record. Just put it on and have mindless headbanging fun!

Oh, and this was also the last decent Slayer record, too.

Huh..........2003-09-24

A Slayer Cd with cover versions of the songs that influenced them! Cool, or..? Not at all. This is a collection of punktunes buildt around three powerchords. All of them are about one and a half minute each. Allright if those tracks had some kind of charm in their original versions but none of them are really good, eaventhough Guilty of being white has cool lyrics. Just imagine a cover collection of songs by Megadeth, Priest, Anthrax, Sabbath, Venom and Maiden. This is the worst Slayer cd out there. Please buy something else.

MUSIC.......2003-02-03

This is a very excellent CD. A guy named "Sepultribus" gave this 1 star because it's not "metal". Slayer is as metal as it gets. It is very awesome that they would do a tribute to hardcore and punk music, rather than be closeminded, limited to a single genre, and do what's "acceptable" because fans like Sepultribus are lame category fans and not truly MUSIC fans. If you like music, and aren't some closeminded "tough" kid-- mall metal loser-- BUY THIS, it is very amazing.
A SLIGHTLY different direction for these guys but still holds on to the heavy sound and attitude Slayer is known for.
Not recommended for the mall metal Slipknot drones out there.

Not as good as I thought it would be.......2003-01-05

I just didnt like this one too much. I mean its heavy and it is good...just not as good as they usually are. The songs on this cd are not thier own. they redid them and made them heavier.

Let Punk-Rock and Thrash Metal stand prod and united........2002-05-19

I have always liked Punk-Rock, and I LOVE Thrash/Speed metal. What Slayer have done here is put them together and it RULES!!
Every song on here is a winner. Old and long time fans of Slayer will not be let down here. Even if they hate usually hate Punk-Rock, and Old, long time fans of Punk-Rock who usually hate Thrash should also buy this. Amazing guitarists John Henneman and Kerry King give there very best here.

Finally, Slayer creates an album that matches the furious savagery of its breakthrough American debut, Reign in Blood, and wouldn't you know it, it's a bunch of cover tunes. In Slayer's speedy mitts these hardcore classics from the early and mid-'80s have twice the impact of the originals and actually sound a lot like outtakes from Reign in Blood minus the gorey lyrics. The original versions of these tunes don't have the ripping solos created by guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, but aside from that one liberty, all the songs are done with good faith and reverence.

There's little doubt that at one point Slayer was influenced as much by Metallica as D.R.I. Unlike Guns 'N' Roses' weak attempt to patronize their punk idols on The Spaghetti Incident?, Slayer perform tunes like D.I.'s "Richard Hung Himself," Verbal Abuse's "Verbal Abuse/Leeches," and Dr. Know's "Mr. Freeze" with such verve and exuberance that it's hard to question their sincerity. The biggest letdown on the entire record is a new original, entitled "Gemini," that slogs along. Their cover of The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is more spirited.

Punk purists may object to a metal band paying homage to these tunes, but Undisputed Attitude proves the two worlds aren't that far apart. Hopefully Slayer will draw from this inspiration once again and create a new album of originals with the same punishing hybrid of hardcore and metal.-- Adem Tepedelen
