Title: The first Pantera album worth owning
Product review: Pantera had made a couple of albums prior to this, but they were mostly in the glam vein and not very good to boot. But somewhere along the line, the lineup came up with a much harder, more pure metal sound and ditched the Motley Crue look for a new feel, which emerged on this album. There is nary a bad track on the disc, and along with their subsequent releases Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven, make for a trio of metal albums almost unrivalled in the early 90s, a period noted mostly for grunge bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains. This is a wholly different sound from grunge; it takes you by the scruff and won't let go until the last track. Consider yourself warned, this is no album for sissies!
