Title: A good setup for their next albums
Product review: Cowboys from Hell introduced Pantera to metal fans everywhere. It is, without question, an excellent album. However, it is not as strong as any of the albums that came after it. Heres why: 1) Phil's vocals often decline into that 'screeching', reminiscent of Metallica's 'Kill Em All'. 2) While the songs are fast and heavy, they lack the raw power of the later albums. Again I compare this to Kill Em All vs Master of Puppets or Justice. 3) The songs just don't stick in my head like the ones off Vulgar Display of Power or Great Southern Trendkill. Overall, this is definitely a worthwhile purchase, but if this will be your first Pantera purchase I recommend getting Vulgar Display of Power first. Though really, you should just get them all!
