I have a lot of love for this album. Listened to it a million times back then.

Yes! Lol Zack has to do a cover video of something on here now! hahaha

 

[Basementcat]

This album and pantera in general was the anthem of teenage years. Absolutely loved these guys and have never been to better live shows in my life.

 

[HarryCooter]

This is the album that turned me to metal. The whole thing is just pure gold.

[ZEN Amps]

Man 30 years, that's crazy. This album still punches hard.

 

[JMP2203]

i wish they released an anniversary instrumental version like they did with RTS

The only bad thing about this monumentally influential release is all the crap it spawned. All of a sudden, so many other 80’s and early 90’s acts went all out groove metal and 99% percent of it was done terribly. Of course you cannot blame them for what followed but Pantera did that style better than anyone, before or since, including Exhorder. Sure, Pantera was more than a little influenced by Exhorder but they didn’t have Pantera’s musicianship, drive or songwriting skills. This is Pantera’s finest hour before they started trying a little too hard to be extreme just for the sake of being extreme. Or perhaps they were trying to appease Anselmo’s never ending quest for underground acceptance. On this album I’ll give Anselmo a lot of credit for creating memorable vocal parts that are mostly devoid of melody lol

 

[Tone Monster]

So crushing. Especially at that time. When Phil’s balls dropped

 

[Beyond Black]

That album is damn near perfect, including his guitar tone.

 

[gbsmusic]

Great stuff and damn I'm getting old

 

[RaceU4her]

That album is damn near perfect, including his guitar tone.

i dont think theres ever been a tone more fitting to the music than his tone on this album.

 

[Beyond Black]

i dont think theres ever been a tone more fitting to the music than his tone on this album.

Agreed. That is a massive, brutal and vicious tone. I do care if it’s solid state, tube, solar, don’t give af, it kills.

 

[JackBootedThug]

God I remember when that came out....so fuckin heavy.....

 

[Bro KV]

I’d blast this in my room burning my HS years when this came out. Had a Sony CD > Marantz Receiver > Cervin Vega Speakers = Brutal!
