Pantera's best!!!!!!!  "Mouth For War", "Walk", "This Love", "By Demons Be Driven", "Hollow"......huge hilights for me! The whole thing is brilliant though! '90's Thrash at it's pinnacle  |
|

It is indeed a brilliant album although "comboys from hell" is still my favourite. I think all songs are filled with potential and "hollow" is a great closing song for the album. Pantera makes u want to headbang 
The ranking is a bit too high though, I think a 9 would be fair. |

I agree with the rating, this album is excellent. You just can't stop yourself from head banging to this  |
|
|
|
OK, this is IMO the second best Pantera's album, with many songs thatbecame classics.... But why there is no review for Cowboys From Hell  That is rather strange.... |
|

|
| This is deffinitely Pantera's best, and not only because it had so many commercial succes, but because the album as a whole is completely amazing. |

| I really can't see what is so special abou this album. Yes some of the riffs are interesting, but for the most part its just the same repeating, power/thrash type riffs start to finish. I know with one guitar not much can be done, and i respect pantera as a band, but I just can't see the good in this album. I found that the riffs played over and over (some "conincidentally" similar), with solos that didn't fit the music or the theme. |

I see you probably weren't even born yet when this album was released. Lemme guarantee you that when you were around at the time of its release and into metal you will really respect this album for what it did back then. This album more or less solely saw to it that tradtional thrash/power metal would not die. Remember this was in 1992 when all things true metal was frowned upon to say the least. |

Woah, calm down man. I didn't say that this album wasn't signiicant at the time of its release, or that it was bad. How could I say that Pantera is bad when virtually every metalhead appreciates their music? I'm only voicing my personal opinion, that I am not a fan of the album. I can't judge Pantera as a band since I havn't listened to their other work, but I just wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. I think some of the songs are decent, its just not my thing. |

First, i would like to say that "Vuglar Display of Power" is hands down the reason that i am who i am today. This album is unFUCKINbelieveble!!!!! Every track off this album is awesome, never gets old, and everytime you listen to it, you feel like you are gettin the shit kicked out of you!!!! I FUCKIN LOVE PANTERA!!!!!!! AND THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell
Secondly, i hate to be a dick, but if you dont fuckin love this album, and "claim" to be a metalhead, there is something wrong with you. even if you arent a huge Pantera fan, this album did soooooo much for the metal world and no one can go against that. Thats just the way it is. People who dont agree with that statment, need to get there shit together and except the truth. And yes, i have spoken.
P.S. if you like that Job For A Cowboy stuff, you AREN'T a metalhead and have absoutely NO OPINION when it comes to talkin about true HEAVY METAL. |

| CFH is pretty good but this album just has too many good songs!! |

|
| This album should be in the top 50 all time |

|
| I find it funny how Pantera is (and i share this opinion) worshipped here but universally whacked on metal-archives. |

Because the M-A ideology is "groove killed thrash", not to mention "the groove", "groove virus" or variants of the term are often used in negative reviews of post-thrash albums, as groove metal is a generally frowned upon genre there, "watered down thrash". |

^^ Any metal band that is really popular, especially if "scene kids" also like them, will be universally panned on MA. 
Vulgar is the most consistent Pantera album IMO. There's not a single song on it I dont like. xD I still prefer Cowboys slightly more though, because it has more of a wide range of different sounding songs. A classic album though! |

what they tend to forget there is that so-called groove, which is of course just a normal thrash subgenre, just like Bay Area or Teutonic tharsh are (but that aside) kept metal alive in the Nineties. |

| Calling groove metal a subgenre of thrash is like calling death metal or black metal a subgenre of thrash. |

groove metal is a subgenre of thrash and is a lot closer to thrash than black and death metal which both more or less came out of thrash.
It seems like you'd better do your homework properly (i.e. stay off Metal Archives' forum and off ANUS) |

Some would consider it a sub-genre, while some perhaps more a bastardization. I don't care either way, some groove metal sounds good to me, Annihilator does a good job of it for instance.
This album in particular I find overrated, there is some great tracks here no doubt but also some filler. |
