Rating: - GOOD EFFORT !!!
And on par with their 3 predecessors; it contains elements of the 3 of them, retaining the speed, agression and their hardcorish thrash/speed-metal signature sound. Their first after a 4 year hiatus and the departure of their famous drummer Dave Lombardo now incorporating the competent Paul Bostaph. Problem is the band were moved from one studio to another( to a total of 4) so production is quite inconsistent but once you're familiar with the record it starts kicking ..ss bigtime.
Rating: - yep,the worst slayer album of them all
Slayer by 1994 were a band struggling somewhat i feel,with lombardo gone and bostaph replacing him clearly something was missing and on divine intervention we meet a band that decided to drop some of their distinct melody,due mainly to king writing the majority of the music and while this is a heavy album,it lacks the classic killer slayer touch.
The album agains courts controversy with the inclusion of a photo of a fan who cut slayer into their arms with a razor blade and the topics of some ... Read More
Rating: - Maybe not divine, but inexplicably underrated...
I honestly can't understand the problem some fans seem to have with this album! As far as Slayer albums go, the low point surely has to be the uninspired "Diabolus In Musica" album that came after this one.
"Divine Intervention" was the last thing that sounded like a proper Slayer album to my mind. "Killing Fields" is an excellent opening track, with its slippery drum patterns and screaming vocals, and the brutal "Sex Murder Art" is one of the best songs the band have (as far as I know ... Read More
Rating: - Underrated classic
Following the indisputably all-time classic thrash albums of Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss, a lot of Slayer fans seem to write off Divine Intervention as a misfire, but in my opinion to do so would be a grave mistake. The most obvious difference this time around is in the line-up of the band, with original drummer Dave Lombardo having been sacked and replaced with Forbidden's Paul Bostaph. While at the time Lombardo was considered the most talented drummer around Bostaph completely ... Read More
Rating: - Weakest Slayer Album
Although Slayer have never produced a bad album, this is probably their weakest. As other reviewers have commented there are some great tracks here, notably 213, Dittohead and the title track, but most of the other tracks here are non-entities. Opener Killing Fields is a statement of intent rather than a song and suffers for it, as it pales in comparison to Angel of Death or even Bitter Peace.
The main flaw in this album has to be the lack of direction; There are shades of punk and a couple of semi ... Read More
