correction.... Far Beyond Driven did that. This album did not debut at #1, as had been typed in some of the posts. I bought this album when I was in 8th grade, and was floored by the heaviness. There is a unique mixture of groove, thrash, and hardcore, that not many popular bands were doing at the time. This is a must have for any metal fan. It's on my top 10 list for the greatest metal CDs of all time.
first and only review for amazon
ALBUM. i only have 3 words for the only review i have ever or will ever do: BEST. EVER.
"By Demons Be Driven" track on this is NOT the origional cd version!!!!
Its some sort of remix. Track 10 "By Demons Be Driven" on this downloadable is NOT the origional cd version. I bought this and am a little upset about it. . . Buyer beware.
Vulgar Display
I started listening to grunge and even learned to enjoy it. When I was in high school in the very early 90s, I thought metal had gone stale and if I didn't move with the times, I'd end up like Lita Ford in that VH1 show, rocking herself on the beach and muttering something about metal coming back. Unbeknownst to me, the Cowboys from Hell caught wind of my misdeeds and decided to punish my ears with eleven of the heaviest tracks ever laid down in a studio. It wasn't enough to be heavy; it had to be the heaviest. . . and it was. And no filler tracks here, boy-o! Every tune, from "Mouth for War" to "Hollow", is worthy of being blasted from your speakers loud and proud.
Only Vulgar Display of Power could redeem Pantera from their glammed-out past. Go ahead - Google the words "glam" and "pantera" together. You know you want to. Don't be ashamed to laugh because they looked like George Michael's roadies before VDOP. Hey, I have to call it like I see it.
If you have Vulgar Display of Power, get off the computer and go play it. If you don't have it, stop reading this review and buy the damn CD already! Then go stand by the mailbox and practice angry things to say to the mailman for having taken so long to bring your CD.
Best of the Best
I saw Pantera 9 times in concert and missed my 10th because of the flu. This is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. If I would have know Dimebag would be killed a few years later, I would have went to more!.
