Vulgar Display Of Power

Solid riffs but probably wont revisit as an album. 6-7

This record is pretty good! The instrumentation is sweet, and I found myself slightly headbanging to some of the tracks here. Favourite Track(s): Walk, Regular People (Conceit) Least Favourite Track(s): Rise

Not good, not enjoyable, just sloppy mush

Fun

Some riffs were good, but overall the album was monotonous. I'd give them a better score, if I listened to it live. Metal genre is often much better at a concert.

The music was good. The lyrics were bad. Odd track at the end.

Even trying to objective for a white supremacist, there's nothing in here I super enjoyed but there were a few songs that made me bob my head.

RIP Dime. That fucking tone on the guitar. I love that Pantera albums get heavier and heavier as they progress, this one falls in their peak groove metal phase. A firm favourite since my teen days.

Generic loud shouty rock, Pantera are a substandard Metallica. This album will be enjoyed by the immature males it is aimed at. When they grow up they’ll move on to something more musical.

I couldn't even finish this album, skipping through the last three songs. Having no nostalgia for it certainly doesn't help. It's more boring than anything else. A little too much edge, not enough actually interesting ideas.

The music was fine but that voice! Argh. Go away.

I liked this alot more when I was younger. Its still decent but once you get theough the first handful of great songs it falls off pretty hard. Up through fucking hostile its great then becomes s wet fart the rest of the way. When the vocals are not strained dude has a real bad voice. Not Hatfield levels but real bad. But when he puts a strain on them they are great. The guitar work from dimebag is great all around. Dude knows how to make the strings scream. The drums too are excellent throughout. The slower ballads are awful though. Real real bad. Its still decent baring you can not pay attention to what that dumb shit singer is like but not even close to as good as I remember it.

3 stars. Metal is not for me.

There's some interesting things going on with this album. All of the touchstones are there in writing but it just hasn't clicked for me. Maybe it will in the future.

Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought.

American metal bands, why so angry? So far Metallica are the only American metal band on this list so far who aren't Just angry. It was at least nice they they weren't just generically angry on Rise and No Good and had some vague things to say about racial injustice. I've never quite gotten into Pantera but I respect them. I have the best of. I've said before I need atmosphere, melody or both. They have the former but it's almost the same chugga chugga every song. This Love and Hollow briefly break things up. A bit of melody comes through in Fucking Hostile (ironically), This Love and Hollow but sparingly. But given Cemetery Gates was on the preceeding record (and amazing) I was longing for something similar to break it up. And I've never liked Dimebag (guitar playing or person). They said, I can listen to much of this as single songs. I just can't do that much rage. High 3.

just finishing a stressful week at work and this was just angry enough for me on my way home. delightful.

Ace riffs. Brilliant grooves. There is a lot to like here. I'm not massively taken by the vocals, but they're solid. My biggest meh is the guitar solos but that is a style preference dimebag has all the chops, but I'd have preferred some.more.tunefulness, but probably the next person ranking this thinks they are tuneful. Fun album though.

I'm not the same person I was when this album came out, so I'm not sure if it's actually good or if I just remember being Angry At My Parents. 3 stars? 4? Really no clue.

this project is confirming what I already knew was true - I don’t like heavy metal

Hard as heck! Riffs that will tear you apart, brutal drums that leave you concussed, vocals that match the rage.

Oh...metal chug chug. One rung above the Kars 4 Kids song among stuff I truly hate.

Uskomattoman kovaa tykitystä ekasta biisistä vikaan asti. Testosteroni nousee ja kitarat raikaa! Groove metallin pioneeri. Ei mitään huonoa sanottavaa :)

Tää löytyy jopa omalta levyhyllyltä ja on edelleenkin satunnaisessa kuuntelussa. Kunnon viskiheviä, reipas tempo ja railakkaat kitaratilulilut. Sopivan Virve Rostimaisen rosoinen lauluääni ja ekstrapiste viel Doom-biiseistä. 5/5

Legendaarinen levynkansi ja meno on taattua Pantera-kamaa. Soundi on mahtava ja kitarat kuuluu tarkasti. Ei ihan yllä Cowboys From Hellin tasolle mutta helppo vitska silti

Oujee äijjähevin mestarteos. Testosika hönkii ja rumpu paukuttaa niin perguleesti. En oo koskaan tykännyt mahottomasti siitä miltä pat nearin tää rieska saundaa. Jotenkin liian särähtävää. Kultakorvasempi osais arvioitsia paremmin mikä sen tekee. Varmaan helvatasti tota treblee. Ois varmaan täyven vitkun levy jos ois noi tietyt nyanssit enempi omaan mieleen. Biiseissä ei sinänsä oo vikaa, mutta sit ton alta ne ei liiaks erotu edukseen. Oisko sillä lehmäpoikahelvetti-levyllä vähän vähemmän tuotettua lopputulosta ja ei sit kuulosta niin pahasti tämmöttiissiltä. No, tää on mitä on. Hyvä linja löydetty pisteytyksissä ja sillä jatketaan. Pahottelut kaikille jotka tätä bängäs nuoruusangsteissaan 1000% voimakkuudella ja oottaa itku kurkussa että jokainen ihminen maailmassa antaa tälle vintsan.

Mä en vaan kertakaikkiaan saa kiinni tämmösestä musasta. Vihaan oikeastaan ihan kaikkea mitä tässä on. Raastavan kuuloista karjumislaulantaa, säksättäviä sahakitaroita, ärsyttäviä rumpukomppeja... Kuuntelin kuulokkeilla aamun juoksulenkin yhteydessä, ajattelin että jos olisi saanut vähän virtaa lenkkiin, mutta oikeastaan ihan puhtaasti vaan vitutti kuunnella tätä.

well the title of the album is certainly accurate

Nah.

This was a Vulgar Display Of Power

I was an 80s metal kid and that genre was mostly left for dead by 1992 when this album came out. But Pantera was just getting warmed up at that point and became the flag bearer for the genre through the 90s. I like Pantera fairly well, but the redneck imagery wears a bit thin after awhile. And I'm from Alabama. Phil Anselmo can be an annoying and racist prick at times too. But in its own merits this album is a metal classic. 4/5

An early influence for me. I don’t listen to Pantera like that anymore but I can’t deny the impact they had on me a kid.

Well, this is quite the follow-up to Janet Jackson. I have to say, Walk is one of the most badass songs ever. This definitely puts you in a mood. Perfect for work! This Love sounds slightly like an Alice in Chains song. This band is interesting, because it isn't as much metal as it is hardcore. Either way, it rocks! I'll give this a 4.

Well....now we know what testosterone injected directly into the testicles sounds like... I first listened to this album around when it came out and I was about 14. What kind of music are 14 year old boys listening to these days in 2025? The guitar riffs are pretty crunchy,.drums are mostly groovy and Phil Anselmo sounds like a coked up werewolf. I remember seeing Pantera (I think at Ozzfest) and the crowd kept setting fires all throughout the grass that security struggled to keep up with. Great riffs and energy on the music, as an older guy now,.the singing/screaming can feel like a bit much.

Just not a band I'd ever really listened to. I'll probably take some flack for this but I was actually expecting more given the love they get and whilst this wasn't by any means a dud, it also didn't grab me beyond _Walk_ which might be the only Pantera song I knew coming in.

Schräges Punk Rock & Metall Album ohne gute Tracks.

Probably nonces.

I like some metal but I've never gotten into Pantera, at least partly because they all seem like assholes. They used confederate flags in their stuff for years, they've had tons of racist incidents (Dimebag Darrell using racial slurs, Phil Anselmo shouting about white power, etc), and honestly just their macho scumbag vibes rub me the wrong way. They even have a song on this album addressing racism, and while the message is ostensibly one of unity, it directly conflates klansmen and black militant groups. All that said, you can't deny they're an incredibly talented and influential band, driving the transition from thrash metal to death metal. They feel like such a perfect middle point between Metallica and Slipknot. I always had the impression that Pantera was a little sloppier and noisier than this but I was pleasantly surprised multiple times. The album as a whole is sort of a wall of sound, but they do a good job of mixing up the tempo/vibe just often enough to keep it moving. There are times when Anselmo's vocals verge on cartoonish and I can't quite take him seriously but it works 95% of the time. He can even sing clean sometimes! Best track: This Love

Call this a low three, was nearly a high two. I liked it more than I expected but my expectations were rock bottom. I’m just never going to like metal that much - my tolerance for it ends at something like Type O Negative or Lacuna Coil. The second I get those gruff manly man yells I lose interest and wander away. Enjoyed the parts of it that were more melodic and tuned out any time it sounded like Walk.

Walk

walk is a banger, rest kinda sucks sorry

Just bangers.

So do go go Gucci do Denise do do do do

Metal is one of the genres I really don't like and this album wasn't an exception. It's aggresssive, angry, hateful, and tedious. Sure, they are technical and can play their instruments but that's not enough for me to like an album.

piercing

Enjoyed a few of these songs! Some were kind of boring but saved by the guitar I'll round up 4 ⭐️

This is the kind of metal I just don't vibe with. There's just something about the lyrics in this sub-genre... "A new level of competence and power" for example. Hearing that very over dramatic, shout-y over enunciated way he says "comp-e-tens-ah" is just, well, cringe--there's no better word for it.

Awesome album Standout songs: A new level Fucking hostile Regular people

Slightly more suited to a Monday morning where you need a kick up the backside than a chilled Sunday, but bloody hell this is exhausting. Kudos I guess for its pioneering status but it’s a one-trick pony for me.

Not my genre

I almost always listen all the way through, but I turned this off after No Good (Attack the Radical). Maybe one of the last four songs is good. I'll never know, this was just so monotonous and boring.

*headbangs, makes devil horns, shreds air guitar* Good stuff!

Goated album, zero skips, perfectly balanced in terms of energy and emotion. One of my favourite ever

bangs but also doesn't do tooo much for me

Perfect headbanger.

listened before and liked it

A great, blood-pumping hour of metal. Obviously, the star of the show is Dimebag Darrell’s guitar playing, great riffs and solos are all over this album. Phil Anselmo’s voice is incredibly powerful in every song. 4/5

Gear: SIMGOT EA1000 Fermat Artwork: 🤕💥🤛 Production (2012 Remaster): 🥩💩🎚️ Music: (╯’□’)╯︵ ┻━┻ Rating: 🤜🤜🤜🤜🤜/5

High octane death metal. Solid vocals, great drums and guitar. Something I was into in my youth, but I definitely didn’t enjoy this as much as I once did. Still, if you’re into death metal, can’t go wrong with Pantera!

This was probably the defining album for groove metal and really set the direction that heavy music would take throughout the 90s. I’ve listened to it so many times over the years that it honestly comes off kind of sleazy now, especially with that tough boy anthem energy, but there’s no denying how influential it was for its time.

I don't listen to 90s metal at all, but this was OK.

Entre que soy yo poco metalero y que ellos son nazis lo pillé con pocas ganas, pero al final ni tan mal. El groove metal es menos groove de lo que me gustaría pero hay temas que están potentes. Las vocals sí que me sacan un poco del rollo (no me gusta el metal). Que hubiese tocado RATM el día anterior puso el listón muy alto. Eso sí que eran grooves y no este proto nu-metal.

A raw display of pure guitar bliss.

If you had told me this was Metallica with a guest singer, I would have believed you. Tedious heavy metal.

Fuck yeah. Just what I needed this morning after not sleeping well last night. A top 10 metal album for sure.

2.5

1.5

I must admit that metal after the '90s is really not my bag though there are some acts that I like. My biggest problem with a lot of the metal past the 90s is the growling vocals as a mainstay as opposed to an accentuation in their vocal arsenal. I think Phil Manselmo actually has a decent rock voice as shown in "This Love" and "Hallow" both of which also accentuate his growl. But most of the rest of the song it's just the heavy growl all the way through which kind of wears on me as the album goes along. Musically I really like the the overall music bed and because I never really listened to Pantera in the past I never really knew how great of guitar Dimebag Darrell was. But overall i think the vocals make it to where I can't give this much more than a three (6.33) ★★★

Quite good for its genre, even though that is generally not my thing. I prefered the thrashier songs. 3.5 stars

I actually didn't hate this. It's not something I'd go out of my way to listen to, but I prefer this thrashier style of metal compared to most subgenres. There's still some of the cheesy elements of metal present, especially in the lyrics, but if you ignore that, there's a handful of decent songs. I kind of like "Walk". 2.5 stars.

I’d kill you for Pantera. I’d kill Pantera for myself… RARARARAR LOVE RRAR LOVE RARR LOVE RAR RARARAAR LOVE RRAR LOVE RARR LOVE RRAR First half is very groovy, very aggressive and laden with some classics although the ones on Cowboys From Hell are still probably better. Second half gets a bit chuggier and samier although overall this is still a vulgar display of goodness for the groove metal genre. A lightly vulgar 4 stars.

sometimes you want to listen to angry music

Not for me that

It’s indisputable that this is a stone cold classic, and I’m really happy to have been given the nudge to listen to it again. I had this on cassette as a kid, I think I bought it from a friend, back in the days of scraping together your pocket money and trying to get the most out of it as possible. Pantera really were some of the best ever to do it, RIP Dimebag & Vinnie Paul.

To quote Lisa Rinna, "ooh, you're so angry." Fuck Phil Anselmo and all the other shitty racists out there.

I’ve never heard the whole album before; but I really liked it!

No matter how technically impressive (and often quite enjoyable) the riffs are, there’s only so much ‘groove metal’ I can take, and that figure falls below the fifty three minutes of runtime here. I don’t dislike this sort of music at all, rather it reminds me that I could be listening to something in a similar vein that I might enjoy more. I am glad that it’s not the sort of metal where there’s guttural throat sounds front and centre in the mix, nor the sort of metal where the percussion is trying to keep time with the heartbeat of a hummingbird. There are three or four songs here that feel rather great whilst listening, but aside from remembering the track titles of the ones I liked, I couldn’t tell you why they were any better than the rest.

Music to stunt your growth. Best played while planning a school shooting. Hate has a home here. 🇺🇸

I can’t stand this guys voice.

This is one of the albums that actually got me into metal, especially thrash, all the way back in my teenage years - and honestly? Still holds up! Unrrlrntingly full-force, even through the quieter moments of tracks like This Love, heavy as hell while still showing levels of musicianship far above some of their peers - i would honestly hold this album up asa reason Pantera should easily be considered the equals of the Big Four of thrash, and potentially outshining some of them (sorry, Anthrax!)

Cool riffs, but I just can't get on with metal vocals. If this were an instrumental album I'd like it a lot more. Having said that, listening to a bunch of metal albums from this list has kind of made it grow on me slowly. If I'd heard this as the first album, I'd probably rate it a 1 or a 2

Makes you want to punch a newborn baby in the face. 4.5

This Love // By Demons Be Driven //

Kawał mocnego metalu. Ciężki, brudny w brzmieniu, a jednocześnie bardzo klarowny w formie, pure metal. To nie jest jakaś trudna, techniczna muzyka, ale każdy dźwięk brzmi, jakby chłopaki używały smyczków z metalowych rur do grania na gitarach, a pałkarz używał młotków do grania na bębnach. "Walk" to absolutny klasyk dla metalheadów. Mam wrażenie, że ten zespół nigdy nie zyskał należnej sobie sławy i długowieczności, ale brzmi jak ulubiony metalowy zespół twojego ulubionego zespołu metalowego. Na pewno będę wracał.

Fuck that racist ass Phil Anselmo. 0 out of 5

Warming up to metal

Loud shocking hard metal vulgar

First time listener; new convert lover.

At first this did not catch my ear. Then it grew on me a bit. Still not really my style but a decent listen.

For so called groove metal, there's a distinct lack of groove

I didn't think I'd be giving this album five stars, because I'm not a fan of excruciatingly rough vocals. But, damn! the music is so good that I just can't help myself. The best tracks are definitely the ones with the sparcest vocals, but I can forgive the worst of the tortured screaming just to revel in the riffs.

I've never gotten the hang of thrash metal. It's really not my thing. There were some pleasant enough moments in there, and I'm sure that, as Wikipedia claims, all the band members are amongst the greatest at their positions that have played in the wider metal journal. Err {{debatable}}, but there you go. So, I got through it but didn't particularly enjoy it. Musically it probably deserves two stars, but the frontman is an obvious cunt, so it gets one

14 year old me is very excited about this. 40 something me still is enjoying it, but at a much lower volume. 🤣

Fuck this shit. Growling and lots of metal are just not musicially interesting and Pantera's album is no exception. Yeah, you might be a cool guy when you're 16, but that's about it. I can tolerate some prog metal, but this is not it.

Not bad but I guess I like Thrash, Death and Blsck Metal more. This reminds me of Nu Metal which I can’t stand.

104/1089 Not sure how to sum up my thoughts on this one, i’m not into hardcore metal etc (though i do generally quite enjoy softer metal and metal influences in songs) so a lot of the music here just doesn’t land for me. This kind of aggression (or this mode of expression) just doesn’t resonate with me especially knowing that Anselm has been conisistently weird with his racist moments. This Love was the one track that stood out to me, that was a bit more my speed. the instrumentation was pretty cool throughout 23/100

Hard rock/metal, to heavy for me

Loved this. Favorites were: "Walk," of course, and "Hollow," which really stood out to me from the rest of the album - felt very Metallica-adjacent yet not derivative or generic. I also really appreciated that this was an album that felt succinct and compact despite its 53-minute run; there wasn't a single song I'd trim from the album for it to feel like a cohesive project.

I was previously familiar with Pantera but don't really know any of their material. This is about what I expected from a metal album. It has some nice guitar and drum work, but the vocals are a bit harsh for me. I can handle a few songs at a time, but it gets to be too much for a full album. This Love and Hollow stood out as good tracks. I may listen to this again, but definitely have to be in the mood for this one.

Pantera are a band I never cared much for, but it'd be hard for me to argue that the instruments don't sound kickass. I never got behind the singer's voice, though, it honestly brings it down quite a bit for me. If you want an album that typifies Pantera, this is probably the album. For me, though, there's loads of much better metal bands and albums.

Ehhhhhhh, this is just more thrash metal that is not my cup of tea. Nonetheless, I understand this is a highly regarded metal album and has some hits in it.

Displaying my power with a vulgarity that led to me flip kicking a hole into my wall after hitting a hearty 2 step 😤 Phil, Dimebag, Rex, and Vinnie did something really special here! 4 because This Love is just Cemetery Gates and Cowboys from Hell combined, but worse. Rock on and RIP Jazz Cabbage Receptacle 🤘🙂‍↕️🤘

hell yeah

Fucking Hostile > walk > mouth for war Always here for an angie shout and this album delivers. Behind the emotion there is a lyrical cadence and guitar solos / riffs that I can get behind. There’s a reason this one is double platinum and feels like people were waiting for someone to go sicko mode in 1992

You know I was gonna rate this a little lower and give some dumbass justification about how even though some of my most listened to albums from middle and high school owe their lives to Pantera, that y’know it just isn’t for me anymore But fuck that noise. This shit fuckin rips. It’s loud, aggressive, and hard. It’s not a perfect album but I don’t think pantera gives a shit about perfect albums. You can’t listen to this and NOT headbang and find something to be angry about

rip dimebag There's something primal about Pantera. When Walk comes on it's like a neuron that I didn't know existed activates. Rise does something to me internally that feels like it shouldn't be legal. I respect this album for being what it is, a pillar of 90s thrash. The band is tight, the sounds are guttural, the energy is there, but I find it extremely hard to separate the art from the artist here.

I respect the craft, but Pantera is definitely a little heavier than I like my metal. I enjoyed a few of the songs, but overall its just not my vibe.

Re: statement from a couple weeks ago of me not being a metal guy My exposure to Pantera is limited to Sandy Cheeks’s workout routines and the couple songs my dad uploaded to my iPod when I was 12. This was an aggressively fine choice. Good but nothing great.

I wonder if all of the bands on this list are also annoyed that their songs go from excellent to okay once their singers start.

I didn’t even like Pantera when I was 14, so there wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that I’d actually get ‘em now. For me, they’re not only “Mega Bloks” Megadeth, but maybe one of the better examples of a “discount” version. Pantera is angry without shit to say, loud but not interesting. In “This Love” they attempt to show their range, but it ended up being the worst song I’ve heard from this list so far. A teen with a guitar, 5 minutes of practice, and a Boss Metal Zone ™️ pedal can play any of these songs nearly as well as the recording. I mean, that riff from Walk is literally 0-0-1-0-0 on the low E. Dimebag’s unwieldy, signature guitars are an extension of Pantera’s fierce-but-dumb vibes, with iconic finishes including: - lightning bolt! - confederate flag! - camo! - flames! - other aesthetics you’d see on a t-shirt for sale at a gas station in Alabama

Pantera er en av favorittene fra før. Gøy gjenhør, terningkast 5

Overall, not a bad album, maybe a tiny bit too intense for my liking, but I was familiar with Walk, but the rest sounded pretty much the same. I would say that this is alright, but only in certain cases, whenever you feel like listening to that kind of music.

It's not my favourite Pantera album, but I like it a lot. It's their most popular release to date, it's groovy and a very good listen. Also, Walk will forever be like an anthem.

Was never super into this band. This album as a whole is okay.

Taught when we're young to hate one another It's time to have a new reign of power Make pride universal so no one gives in Turn our backs on those who oppose Then when confronted, we ask them the question: What's wrong with their mind? What's wrong with your mind? I really don't listen to metal as a rule; it feels like it's just screaming at me. In trying to be diligent to the process, I did read the lyrics for the songs. The album title and the song title words feel so relevant with politics/policies today, but the lyrics didn't reflect what I hoped for in the titles in some instances. So I listened, afraid my ears would be bleeding by the time the album ended. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite tracks? None 1 star. Didn't like it but I don't enjoy metal in general.

I hate scream-singing. This was awful. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite track(s): N/A ⭐: Hated it.

I like the thrash metal instrumentals but the screaming vocals are a bit much. It's a good album but I'd much rather listen to any of the early Metallica albums instead. Walk is the highlight for me.

Not my thing. Not really interesting enough to elevate it beyond its boring tough guy lyrics and riffs.

(79/100)

Joa. Metal am Morgen vertreibt Kummer und Sorgen.

While I dont dislike all of this, it cant really do a whole album of it.

Instrumentals heavy and goes v hard, vocals not my thing (A little grating and imo didn't sound mixed well with the instrumentals), growing on me through the album, by the end I can see why people like it but not my thing :)

That was a power chord workout. I'm exhausted.

Ok, but not my style.

I was only vaguely aware of Pantera in the nineties, and I don't remember learning much about them until maybe a year or two before Dimebag Darrell was murdered. Oddly enough though, I lived in Arlington until I was about eight years old, and had I stayed in the same house and not moved to Houston, I would have gone to Dimebag Darrell's alma mater, Arlington High School. I only know a couple of Pantera songs, one of them being "Walk," which is on this album. I associate "Walk" with the boot-licking 'Blue Lives Matter' crowd, so it's fair to say that I already have a negative view of this album. I'm really not looking forward to listening to this, and even though I try to be objective about most of the things I review, I'm willing to throw that out the window today. Time to throw on a Punisher logo shirt and get down and dirty with the boys! After a somewhat promising opening track, Vulgar Display of Power fell apart pretty quickly for me. When "Mouth for War" kicked off, I thought I would have a decent time with this album. The guitars and drums were driving, and I could feel myself begrudgingly getting into this album. But "A New Level" didn't do much for me, and even though "Walk" wound up being one of the better songs on the album, it didn't do much for me either. I felt like I was just trudging through an hour's worth of the same growling, the same throbbing drum beats, and the same guitar chord structures. There just wasn't anything on this album for me to latch on to. Back to "Walk" though. As annoying as I find this song, I like its structure, and the vocals are kinda catchy to yell along to. The best song on the album though was the closing track, "Hollow." I thought this was the only song on the album that had some emotional depth to it, and I liked that it actually had some guitar playing that wasn't power chords and some vocals that weren't yelled. Pantera can clearly do more than just the same thing over and over again, so why didn't they show more range on this album? I guess this sort of thing just isn't for me.

Good gym background music. Never really listened to Pantera before.

Super tight playing with a unique reverb free guitar tone, Van Halen style playing on the solos with a bit more aggression. Great soundtrack for lifting weights or rioting.

Great album. I never rocked out a PowerPoint in my stupid little cubicle so fast

Good genre music, just not a genre I'm into

Appreciate the musicianship, especially the guitar playing, but it's not really my cup of tea

nope

Sonically, I really dug this album, even if it was a harder sound than I typically prefer. The rhythms and tempo changes were captivating. hard-charging, and infectious. How do they play that damn fast?!? Where the album lost me is in the vocals. Don’t get me wrong, the lead singer has a cool voice, but it’s not for me. Overly aggressive, angry singing isn’t my vibe. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the introspective and socially conscious lyrical content. This album is a hard one to rate. I’m glad I listened to it and learned more about who Pantera is, but I’m not sure I’d revisit any of it. It’s too heavy for my soul.

I tried to let go of everything I know about the members of Pantera and approach this album with an open mind, I really did. There's a lot of enjoyable metal music out there, you know? Maybe this has potential! Nah. It's off-putting and unpleasant. "Vulgar" is an incredibly apt description. I appreciate its place in the evolution of the metal genre, but I'm never going to listen to Pantera again if I can help it.

Solid heavy.

Funny, catchy, memorable guitar riff in the first track. Albums that start off with a bang are always worth paying attention to. Unfortunately, Pantera goes down the well-trodden path of "recruit an absolutely horrendous and incredibly stereotypical singer (for the genre)". In fact, the singing isn't bad when it follows a melody – but it rarely does. Walk is a clear standout because the singer manages to squeeze a good melody out of the very strained and painful singing. In contrast, there are a few songs towards the album's tail end that sound identical to one another – which could be partly due to sonic exhaustion after half an hour of monotonous noise (with some highlights). Rise, Regular People, and By Demons Be Driven are the main culprits here. Live in a Hole would be too, but it's saved entirely by its guitar solo near-ish the end. This Love is excellent. It's a great compromise between the darkly horrific scream-vocal style and a similarly dark, more brooding, much more musical feel. A slow, extended blues progression can be hit-or-miss, but in this track it works wonders. Easily the best song on the record. Hollow, the album closer, is in close second in virtue of sounding like the gates of heaven compared to the nigh-torturous run of tracks before it (from Rise to By Demons Be Driven.) Those harmonised guitars... man. And that soft, sparkling arpeggio guitar in the back. And Anselmo's back to his singing voice, which is orders of magnitude better than whatever the heck he was doing before. 3/5 Key tracks: Walk, This Love, Hollow

2.5-2.7 ISH, didn't like the vocals that much, not a massive metal fan. However, the instrumentals were quite good throughout the album, maybe I would get more used to the vocals on future listens?

"skat vi har altså Metallica derhjemme" Sådan føles det lidt at høre Pantera for mig. Jeg er dog overrasket over hvor meget jeg egentlig nød at høre meget af det, dog i moderation. Jeg skal ikke bede om det hele på en gang. Så Metallica noddet skal også ses lidt som et kompliment, men heller ikke mere end det. Tror at jeg til enhver tid ville vælge Metallica over Pantera. Men "Walk" er en kæmpe banger jo! Og "This Love" havde også en fed power ballade ting kørende, hvis jeg skal fremhæve et par tracks. 2.5-3

-was expecting some corny hair metal BS but i ended up kinda fuckin with this. still far from my preferred style of metal but i enjoyed the harsh vocals and slower, more atmospheric stuff -gets a decent 3.5 -Favorites: This Love, Hollow

Classic

Didn’t like Pantera in the early nineties and I still don’t like them

good stuff, wish they weren't a racist

I got in touch with Pantera thanks to a Spotify playlist called "The Book of Nasty Riffs", and Walk was one of the first songs on it. Since then, I learned to enjoy early 90s metal. Still not much of a fan tho, but you gotta surrender to an album like this. Both Vulgar Display and Cowboys From Hell are trully Metal Masterpieces. 5 Stars.

5 stars is not enough to describe the level of masterpiece this album is.

Painless. Entirely decent album.

I don’t see the difference to Metallicas Justice for all. Maybe a bit groovier. Less intellectual. But how exactly was this influential? I liked some of the songs (Mouth for war, Live in the hole. Hated the middle part (especially walk. Found this one stupid). A bit monotonous.

Boring

Fucking Awesome!

Not my thing, but Pantera is iconic and this is a good album.

vulgar display of one star

I certainly understand why this album made the list. It is a huge shift in the metal genre - brutality of sound and relentless riffing. But for me, I dislike the songs, the guitar tones and the overall posture/image of the band.

4/5

A braindead "mate" of mine back at school loved the song Walk. It was the only song he knew how to "play" on guitar. I associate Pantera with "braindead" because of this guy. I'm "giving" it a second star purely out of familiarity.

Never really got into Pantera but I like a few of the riffs on this one.

My issue with this kind of metal is that most of the songs are so. long. And the ones that aren't are basically just noise. I know objectively Pantera is an influential metal band, and I hear the talent there, but it's just not really for me. A lot of this album sounded the same, which made it feel even longer. I understand why this album is on the list, but I didn't like it.

Solid thrash metal album! I kind of wanted a little more bass, but it still was good. Too bad dime bag Darrel was such a piece of shit.

Pantera is one notch above slayer for me. Still not enough melody to revisit full albums often, but occasional song on a playlist hits just right.

4 stars

Boring stadium metal voice strikes again, rubbish.

Metal just always feels a little bit silly. Fun, but silly.

RIP Dimebag. Simply enjoy this album only because of his legendary riffs and solos

Ok

Really excellent. Liked a lot more than the Pentangle group record.

It’s fine for what it is… I think I like the music more than the vocals which is probably a little related to Phil Anselmo’s later spiral. Overall it’s not bad but not really my go to style for music.

Been a very long time since I'd heard this. I don't think it's aged particularly well. There's something in the production that's really grating on my ears. Music is fine, but kind of feels like by the numbers metal to me now. Revisiting this album doesn't make me want to hear any more. I guess I'm more of a Down guy than a Pantera guy at this point in my life.

I really liked this when it came out, but oddly really never came back to it over the years. This was a good listen for me.

More like vulgar display of...poop...amirite? Eh, I've never cared too much for Pantera. The production of this album reminds me of a blender making a smoothie, maybe one from Panera. Nothing comes through clearly in the chase for the crunchiest guitar tones one can achieve, with vocals that drown in doubling. I guess everyone should hear Walk, but certainly no need to listen to the whole album.

Walk, don’t run, to pay your respects to Dimebag in this rather bland showcase of redneck groove metal.

Lively

Classic metal anthems.

who knew they could make a boring metal album

this band sucks.

It rocks, but the good ends there. If a guy were to make a case for vibes being a real thing, this would be exhibit A. Bad vibes off the charts, and I believe that would be true even if you didn’t know the political leanings of the members.

Wow, I was done with that quickly. I listened to two tracks, then I'd had enough. Wild, melody-free roaring. In my narrow-minded little world, I thought music had something to do with melody. On the other hand, neither the term melody nor music is precisely defined. So what do I know? At least I know that I don't want to waste my time with this noise. 1/5

Music for dudes who used to think they were tough and don’t know how to communicate feelings.

Really like the seamless transitions between songs. Not a fan of the lead singer's voice. It's very stereotypical metal, nearly screamo. Some great guitar work and decent lyrics. 6/10

Very heavy! Although it comes across as “alternative” rock, something about the notes reminded me of Megadeth. Anyway, grr!

Meaty, visceral, but most of all Metal! Turn up to 11!

Walk What did you say? Respect Walk Are you talking to me? Simpler times

Aff

Not my favorite metal album. There isn't much in the way of melody here. And the screaming vocals got old by the second track. "Hollow" is a little different from the others, but it just starts out as 80s "schlock metal" before returning to the same cacophony that characterizes the other songs.

Not my thing, but I can appreciate how it can get you super amped up.

I am always confused by the name groove metal, because if you are expecting metal with funky rhythms, you’d be disappointed. Subtle this album is not but if you want riffage and aggression you would be in the right place.

Never think of them as a full album band because the stand outs really STAND OUT. I mean Walk has one of the most iconic metal riffs of all time. I always forget about This Love which really got me this listen. Anyways shout out the Abbott brothers they really shine on all of Pantera’s work and truly made the band unique (RIP)

I scream, you scream, why are we screaming?

While it's not quite my taste, I still enjoyed listening to it. I'm also glad to see some more metal representation on the list. Overall it was fine, I wouldn't go out of my way to reach for it again but I wouldn't turn it off if it was playing

This album kicked me in the balls and I liked it.

Tried to listen to all but eh. Pantera has been around forever and any time i caught them it was "It has all the elements I like - but I just don't." Something about the harsh sound of both guitar and voice combined is graty on the nerves. Song 3 'Hollow' was okay - but not representative of their work as a whole. On my patented -100 to +100 rating scale where ripping open that box to find the product inside is misrepresented by the photo on the box is a -30 this is -50.

Not my thing

this shit rocks, 4/5

yeah!!!

Nope. I think this probably influenced a whole gaggle of imitators, because this sound was everywhere in the late 1990s. But even in its original form (?) it’s annoying, & boring. I just don’t want to hear a guy vomit angry lyrics onto the microphone for a hal hour. The drumming is intense, but not artful. The guitar playing — stock. I don’t need to hear this again, though I’m sure I will. I’ll be aggravated when that happens…

I feel like you had to have been there or grown up with it

Not easy to mix groove with anger, but they do it well. Had a surprisingly good time with this one, my only complaint is the singer trying to do too much.

Pantera limited themselves to a couple of Lego bricks to build most of this album: walls of the same clipped distorted chords, Anselmo’s silly voice. A few other Legos are thrown in for colour - squealing notes, odd chords sustained for more than a half a second - but the palette is as limited as a hardcore punk band’s, and the blocky castles they make are unmemorable, monotonous and jail-like. Please can we have a baroque chateau tomorrow or a brutalist tower or minarets, it doesn’t have to be pretty, just enough to linger over.

My heart sank when this popped up, but it redeemed itself almost immediately; likely because it sounds more like grungified Southern Rock than anonymous thrash metal, suiting my more-wussy sensibilities. Vocalist is godawful, and the low points are the Metallica-ish "This Love" and "Hollow", but the general noise was fun. Kids love the cover image.

I had fun

Some cool and memorable riffs. Definitely not an energy that I can really associate with, but still can be a fun listen.

9/10

Vulgar Display of Power may be held as Pantera's ultimate statement, but it's fine. Yes, the vocals are good, Dimebag's guitar-playing is stellar, but the overall hyper-agro feel of the album wears on the ear. When combined with the knowledge of who Anselmo has revealed himself to be in the last decade, the album becomes even harder to listen to. I used to like Pantera a lot as a teenager, and it was nice to revisit this record, but it just isn't as good as I remember.

Favorite: Walk

Pretty dang rad. RIP Dimebag Darrell.

Музыка: 3/10 Разнообразие: 3/10 Тематика и вайб: 5/10 Цепляемость (отдельные песни зашли): 2/10 Реиграбельность (можно ли рандомно врубить на фон): 2/10 Итог: 3.0

Dumb but kinda awesome

Some pretty good heavy metal. Think I liked it a little bit better when I was younger but still rocks hard.

1000 percent what it advertises. If you’re looking for melody or high fidelity, this ain’t it. But if you’re looking for a feeling of raw power and emotion, this is it. I wish they recorded it more fully - it’s midrange and treble but that’s was the style in those days. In Justice For All made it that way. “Walk” is an anthem. So good. Not a record for every day but if you need this it is perfect.

Meh. I wasn't awful, but it could have been better if the vocals didn't sound like every other metal vocalist of the time. That, and the fact that thrash has never been something I really got into. Not one I'd go back to again.

I will start off by saying I was a big big fan of the Thrash Metal scene! This scene was at its peak from around 1986-1990. I would have to say 1990 was the ultimate year. 1990 Pantera released Cowboys From Hell, which is a great album, and was providing a new sound to this already waning sub-genre. Vulgar Display of Power came two years later, once grunge was really coming into play, and NuMetal had yet to rear its ugly head. I loved this album when it came out, even though, by musical tastes were still evolving. I enjoyed the thrash years, but already my musical mind was moving on. I no longer love this album, and as I continued to listen to it again, I just kept dropping stars off. It really does not age well, and the lyrics just come off as silly, and unintelligible today. There are so many other great thrash albums (that I could easily re-listen to today) that probably won't make this list because for some reason this album really struck a chord in the author of this book. If you are going to have this album on the list, we better see some representation from bands like Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth, who started and helped shape this genre.

An incredible band that has had it's legacy ruined by the racist "jokes" of it's frontman. Look, I'm not here to defend Pantera. There are plenty of dipshits on the internet doing that already, so I'm going to attempt to be brief here. The music is driving, intense and FULL. Dimebag Darrel's guitar sound is iconic. The drums are bombastic and crushing. The vocals are intense and emotional. This album is a fantastic departure from Guns and Roses, Pearl Jam and every other band that was popular in the early 90s. The lyrics are good, for the most part. At the time, I'm sure this "I don't see color" approach to race relations was considered progressive by some, but a bunch of good ol' boys from Texas singing about coming together while still sporting the rebel flag comes off as insipid and tone deaf today. All that being said, this is one of the most influential albums in the metal space. If you like hardcore at all, your favorite band owes something to this record.

Woke up this morning, punched my alarm clock. Got in the bathroom, grabbed my toothpaste and I punched it. It splattered all over the mirror so I punched that too. Drove to work, punched in the time clock. Then I made some coffee and punched that too. It got all over my boss. He started yelling and I punched him. Got fired but didn't care. Came home, punched my wife. Kids got off of school, punched them too. Punched my dog, punched my dinner, punched my pillow. This album gets five punches out of five.

Just not my vibe

Not a big fan of heavy metal

Two things can be true. This album is absolutely must-listen before you die, and I also don't like it all that much Best Song: Walk Rating: 6/10 Stars: 3/5

I’m not the biggest Pantera fan, but this album is very solid - front to back. The Abbots (RIP) are so on point and Phil at his least annoying. In my personal collection and my favorite from them.

0.0/did not need to hear that to know i would hate it

Still not getting over how metal is by far the silliest of genres, but they all take it /so/ seriously. This is not the worst, and has a couple promising moments early on - something closer to a hard rock rhythm - but goes downhill after that. 1.5 stars.

Fyrsta lagið lofaði góðu þar til söngurinn kom

Djöfull tekur það á að hlusta á svona. Ég skil að þetta sé vinsælt en heil svona plata er of mikið fyrir mig.

Seems decent like well made but just not what I’m feeling like right now

Can I just shock you? I like Pantera. I put this off for a very long time, on the assumption it would be - your friend and mine - dreadful noise. It is in many ways, it's loud, abrasive and in yer face, but it's also melodic, skilled, varied and has, with the last song, an quite hefty emotional gut punch. Well done Pantera, this was about as good as you're going to get from me.

I have no interest in this

Obviously, this is not the most sophisticated music or lyrical content, but it is metal. It is raw, fast, aggressive, emotional in its own way, and it still holds all of that along with its impact and influence. In a lot of ways, it may not hold up for most people, but it does in other ways, as it still remains what it was.

cheesy godflesh

chudmetal

I like music but vocals too yelly

Sweet Christ alive. What a turgid, stodgy, wedge of execrable dross. How did it get on the list? How did it even get made? Can I be put in charge of this list please? No one should ever have to listen to this rubbish.

As a younger man I referred to this macho posturing as Pantliner. I shall continue to refer to this macho posturing as Pantliner.

Man! I haven't listened to this album since college. What a righteous jam! It sounds loud AF even if you listen to it quietly. For me, though, the ceiling for an album like this is four stars, simply because of the sameness of it all. But it hits that ceiling with authority. Or should I say . . . a vulgar display of power.

This album has been in my rotation since I first bought it in 1992. It doesn't hit quite as hard on the 10,000th listen as it did on the 1st, and I still find some of the guitar solos a tad Onanist for my tastes, but the anger and aggression still make my day better every time I listen. Possibly one of the best albums to punch Nazis to.

Awful

Muscular riff work and aggression, I just don’t have enough interest in the genre to fully appreciate it, I think.

Like the guitars; dislike the vocals.

2/5 - I didn’t need to hear this, because I never got into Pantera, and this album doesn’t change my mind. Maybe on a different day, but probably not.

90s Avenged Sevenfold. More annoying than metal. The hits are ok, This Love being the best. But the formula-driven guitar chugging and yelling all seem thin after a few songs.

I've never been a huge fan of Pantera, but I did own "Far beyond driven" growing up, and honestly the difference between that and "Vulgar display of power" is so big that I find it hard to imagine what happened in the less than two years that passed between them. Vulgar Display of Power is a solid album, but I really prefer the tighter more coordinated grooves of later releases.

No

A competent Heavy Metal album where the lead vocalist sound like he really needs to get some medication for his sore throat. My favourite track on the album was "Walk". I also liked the track "This Love" which sounded more like Nirvana at times.

This is the type of music serial killers listen to when they're psyching themselves up for their next kill.

I'm not a big metal fan but l like some songs very much. I find this album ok but I miss something. Somehow the songs are too similar but in total ok.

Fuck yeah \m/ \m/

Didn't hate it

Vulgar Display of Power is basically nonstop shouting and growling with zero melody, and honestly, it’s just not my thing at all

Could they all be like Hollow?!? That song actually seems unique, different and still in the metal genre. I can appreciate the guitar work and the singers actual voice. The rest of the album is so much screaming and yelling. Then the rough guitar over and over. The part that really frustrates me about metal is they all do the same exact thing, making it all sound exactly the same to me. I even chuckled at one point because all of the songs were marked as explicit but he screams so much you can't even tell he is saying explicit things! I am sure a real metal head would be able to show me the little differences that make Pantera and this album unique and different but to me it all sounds the same. I don't really like metal and I don't see anything super unique about this album (except Hollow).

I guess this is supposed to be one of the defining heavy metal albums of the 90s. Cool. I don't like it. I HAVE heard worse heavy metal, but that doesn't change the fact that I was annoyed by it and couldn't wait for it to be over. They sound like Metallica but screamier and angrier. Their front man sounds like a real piece of work too. This is my least favorite genre of music to get, and every time we get one, I hope it's the last. So we'll see if my wish finally comes true. It probably won't.

4 stars on music. Bonus stars for Dimebag Darrell's insane guitar all removed due to singer being a loser.

This was actually awesome and uplifting? Lol could that be true

Not my style, but I didn't hate it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Rest In Power Dimebag⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And fuck that other guy! Calvin Coolidge, whoever the fuck

This album was a bit too much for me personally. Although I would pick this over Jazz ten times out of ten it’s not something I would voluntarily listen to again.

Listened in the car driving home after work. Never been a fan of this genre of metal, I just find it boring and it reminds me why I loved grunge in the 90s instead. For me, it's like dance music in that I know there's a lot going on, but it completely fails to grab me in any way. This album sounded really clichéd but I'm guessing that may be because so many have followed in it's wake. Completely forgotten it after it ended.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I love metal but never really got into the thrashy stuff like this back in the day. Tasty riffs. The vocals were occasionally grating but decent overall. This review is dedicated to Jason, some guy who lived in the same apartment building as me in 2013. Back then I put out pen and paper at the front door asking people to sign in with their name and a song. Of the 8 people who did it, Jason signed in with Walk by Pantera (from today’s album). Jason, I hope you are well.

A little more melodic than some of the other metal albums we’ve had. Not really my thing though.

One thing this project has taught me is that I like metal about as much as I thought I did. I think it’s the vocals.

https://youtu.be/Yy_XpN-PFNc?si=PFf8AXlr-qUkiAOm

HFY man first time listening to this outside the gym and my arms still started swelling after

Fuck Phil Anselmo and every limp dick Nazi asshole like Phil Anselmo.

No soy fan del metal, pero ha sido entretenido, no me terminaba de esperar el metal asi. Ha sido mi primer contacto con el como tal.

A new level - sick opening riff, metal guitar is unbeatable. Walk is of course the big hit, and i can see why, such a good riff. Dimebag is an insanely good guitarist. Would be nice to play some of his stuff one day. Lyrical performance in This Love was really cool. Outro was unique as well.

I didn't particularly like this, I'm not sure why.

Did nothing for me, really. Yea, Dime plays a mean guitar, but Phil seems like a real jerk and I can't get over it. I saw the current rendition of Pantera (with Zakk) open for Metallica a few years back, they were fine live, but I wouldn't actively seek them out.

So aggressive, angry and heavy! This is a metal classic and a great follow-up to their previous album Cowboys from Hell. Phil Anselmo's raspy vocals are awesome accompanied by Dimebag Darrell's riffs. The lyrics are a bit cringy at times but with Pantera's attitude it doesn't matter much.

Unexpectedly fun listen.

What are they so angry about?

Very much of its time. Back then, and innovative blend of extreme metal and groove, now a little dated. Musically, dimebag is one of the greatest guitaristsever and the rhythm section is tight AF. Phil is...being his usual ranty self? A5 least I assume he wasn't on heroin by this point. The first half of the album is about as good as groove metal can get, with every song an absolute classic. The second half doesn't hold up anywhere near as well. I'll quite happily never hear Rise, No Good or Live in a Hole ever again, but up until then it's flawless. A 4, both in quality and importance.

Not my cup of tea.

Blind album and artist. Once I got listening, it got me in a groove, but i can't stay in the groove all the time or go out of my way to play this.

I just don't enjoy metal

Beautiful music and always a pleasure to listen to Amy whainehouse and a lot more RnB focused which only brought more pleasure

Not the sort of music I tend to listen to (although I have inadvertently seen them live) but good at what it does.

good sounding thrash metal, never listened to these guys before and i don’t mind it, not as good as other bands in the genre but a respectable album that you can just put on if you’re in that mood, respect

Grew out of metal, but this album is a classic for the genre. The Walk is a good song even if I have to be in the mood for it. Overall, it is what it is: great for the genre.

Why original review sticks: "I like Pantera, I’ve listened to a few of their tracks and have some of them in my playlists. Not really listened to much else, so this was relatively new. I liked it. It was powerful, heavy and angry. 4 stars for me, enjoyable enough."

Très groovy et headbangy mais rien d'extraordinaire.

Classeek

Still not used to growly vocals, although the composition is good

Good album. Vulgar display of vocal cord abuse. Love “Walk” though: “Can’t you see I’m bothered by persistence? … Be yourself, by yourself. Stay away from me.” What great lyrics.

I'm interested

Not my style 1/5

Good

Loud. Raucous. Unintelligible. Probably important in the history of metal and mosh pits but that doesn’t make for compelling listening.

heavy metal. Lots of screaming not a fan. Also just a heavy metal album nothing goes terribly wrong.

Idk what to call it but the rhythm riff style works well for them but it does get a bit monotonous after a while. I couldn’t really tell. A huge difference between the songs form just the music. Lyrics were cool enough overall but I felt like I should be working out in a basement to get the most out of them. Between a 2/3. Nothing really bad about it I just wanted some variety or emphasis on the different things those instruments can do.

this usually isn't my genre of choice, but i did find myself enjoying the album as i got further into it. i feel like the second half of the album actually got more melodic, and the first half was reserved for the intensity that you would expect from a metal band, but overall i was pleased with it. my only real exposure to Pantera was guitar hero 2, and Cowboys From Hell, so this was a pleasant surprise.

The musical talent and ability is unquestioned, and im sure there’s a lot that’s influential when it comes to Pantera and Dimebag Darrel, I’m just not a fan of heavy metal.

I knew the name Pantera, but I didn't think I knew any of their songs. That was until I heard "Walk". It all came rushing back to me of being in the high school weight room. There was only one CD left in the stack next to the stereo that was not scratch to hell and it had this song on it. I had to listen to this song everyday for 2 years.... still the only lyrics I knew were 'Respect, walk. What did you say?'. Even with the bombardment of Pantera, I still don't like Metal. I respect their talent, but it's just not for me.

Just not the day for this, but then I can’t really think of a day for it. Some like this, some don’t. Some say intense, I just find it very tedious, very very tedious. Can’t be bothered wasting anymore time on this, heard it, 1 Star

INSANELY good dad metal

I loved this when it came out, and periodically revisit it. Really strong groove metal album, and Dimebag’s (although he was still Diamond at this point) shredding is outstanding. Phil Anselmo has proven to be a bit of an, erm, ‘difficult character’, and listening to some of the lyrics here with awareness of some of his apparent views does really make you wonder. However, having said that, it’s still a great album. RIP Vinnie and Darrell.

point8.

It was fine? Not a metalhead but there were a few songs that were listenable. Could have been a lot worse 4/10

Just reminds me of working at Hot Topic

Some of these riffs are insanely heavy. This album boasts the cringiest moment in metal history though…..”WALK ON HOME, BOY” Pantera rests in a grey area. Equal parts awesome, heavy, mean and douchy

Couple cool big riffs but kinda a slog

One of my favorites of all time. The first half of the album is pure electricity. This is what we took before energy drinks to jump over building and run through metal gates

Vulgar display of noise

Another case of separating the art from the artist. This felt revolutionary when it came out but took me a few listens to get it

Slaps. The older I get the more I like metal.

I almost skipped this album entirely. About 30 seconds into the semi-screamo vocals of the first song I was ready to say 'not my thing' and skip-listen through the rest of the tracks. But, I ended up hearing the whole thing out and I'm glad I did. After I got used to the intense vocals, I started to hear the musicality. It's a bit too intense for too long to hold a place on my frequent listening list, but it does feel like exactly the kind of album you want to put on when you're pissed off at the world and just need to rage. Walk is an absolute anthem.

This belongs on a list of 1001 albums to listen if you want to die

Vulgar

This is a great album, I love the heavy metal sound of pantera and every song was enjoyable.
