THE REVIEW
You can't do it like this. Imagine how a child might grow up if, by mistake, they search for information about this album and find the review by the esteemed colleague from Debaser written in 2005: from that moment to today, this single review contains, with all due respect to the user, a colossal blunder. An extreme thrash band that sounds punk? Perhaps, along with the migration of birds fleeing winter, it is the most logical and natural thing in this world. Because, in many ways, the Slayer (obligatory bow) play nothing but punk pushed to the extreme consequences, with heavy influences from Judas Priest-like swagger and the satanic gloom of Black Sabbath.
"Undisputed Attitude", year 1996 A.D., contains covers of more or less known punk bands, plus a handful of tracks written by Hanneman (bow) and some fellow bandmates for a mythical hardcore punk project, dating back to the mid-'80s. The latter, "Ddamm" and the frenzied "Can't Stand You". They do hit hard. Like the opener "Disintegration/I Want Free Money" ("I Want Free Money!/I Want Free Money!/I Want Free Money!"... eh, me too).
But enough chatter, we've arrived at the single "I Hate You" (originally by Verbal Abuse), accompanied by a rather swaggering video clip, and then delight our ears with "I Wanna Be Your Dog" (a jest of "I Wanna Be Your God" by the Stooges) and the final and previously unreleased "Gemini", written by the happy duo Araya/King (double bow).
A mention (not) is obligatory for the useless comments by the band in the booklet, all more or less along the lines of "We liked this song and played it because it was tough. Now ours is even cooler". I think they were nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature thanks to these notes. Do I like this album? I don't know, but lately, it's in perpetual rotation in my car radio, so Amen. Because the important thing is to have an Undisputed Attitude.
PS: Ok, this isn't a serious and impartial review on Slayer (bow) either, but would you ask a mujahideen for a technical analysis on the Quran?

Truly a bold move by the band, which, after endless criticism of 'Divine Intervention,' was said to blow everyone away once again. Hell no, they didn’t!
Many punks will say that 'Undisputed Attitude' is a masterpiece, but I still maintain that it is not even up to par with the more recent 'Diabolus In Musica' and 'God Hates Us All.'

With Undisputed Attitude, you enter the heart of rage, of chaos, and of blind fury!
A jolt of unparalleled adrenaline was needed.
