À l'écoute

Slayer's God Hates Us All (American Recordings)
It doesn't have Raining Blood on it, it's actually far removed from those days. A much evolved Slayer playing with even lower down-tunings and experimenting with sound processing. Yes it was 2001, original lineup drummer Dave Lombardo didn't join in on this record, but nonetheless the legendary band delivered a fantastic feat.

The Streets' Original Pirate Material (Locked On)
Mike Skinner (aka The Streets): totally deadpan, underly valued lyrical abilities, basically a great producer delivering completely original music fit for the underdogs and masses. This is a diverse record. Perhaps Skinner was trying to fit-in with the fresh musical scene he was creating at the same time.
