Can the band fail trying to live up to Absolute elsewhere?
With an album as progressive as Absolute elsewhere I think there is a risk if the band tries to live up to or top it. They may go to far or it becomes cliche’.
After Reign in blood, Slayer concluded that they would not be able to top the speed and aggression of that album, and decided to go in the other direction with their next album. May be something to think about for the band.
