A Decade of Aggression

I'm still digging into my 'forgotten' collection, this group of CDs are packed into a box & tucked away in the common store room. Slayer's A Decade of Aggression was my first live album as I'm not a fan of live releases; I don't enjoy listening to songs rehashed in a live context but this release was different- there were no overdubs to polish the final output. That's a bold step & a real statement of self-belief. Unlike other Slayer releases where the bass was notoriously buried & inaudible, Araya's finger works here are present & commanding. I'm still not a fan of live releases, though.
