Album Review

One of the most influential heavy metal albums of the 1990s, Vulgar Display of Power is just what is says: a raw, pulverizing, insanely intense depiction of naked rage and hostility that drains its listeners and pounds them into submission. Even the "ballads," "This Love" and "Hollow," have thunderingly loud, aggressive chorus sections. Preaching power through strength and integrity, Phil Anselmo discards any further attempts at singing in favor of a militaristic bark and an unhinged roar, while the crystal-clear production sets Diamond Darrell's pummeling riffs against a rhythmic backdrop so thunderously supportive that Darrell often solos without underlying rhythm guitar parts. The album again follows Cowboys from Hell's strategy of stacking the best songs at the beginning and letting their momentum carry the listener through the rest, but the riffs and sonic textures are more consistently interesting this time around. Pantera's thick-sounding, post-hardcore power metal and outraged, testosterone-drenched intensity would help pave the way for alternative metal acts like Korn and Tool; Vulgar Display of Power is the best distillation of those virtues.

Pantera's Best Album...

Vulgar Display of Power is definately Pantera's catchiest work overall, with heavy, buzzin' guitars that your ears just can't get enough of. Mouth for War, Walk, "Hostile", This Love, and Hollow probably the golden achievements, but that doesn't mean there is a dull spot between tracks 6-10. Every song is fresh and catchy in its own metal way. Just buy the whole album. Walk may be the catchiest at first listen, but once you really listen to the others, you'll find out there's a lot more to experience with Pantera. The Reason that this album doesn't SEEM as popular their other album is, well, a screwup. You see, not too long ago each of Pantera's albums had doubles. I mean, they literally had 2 Vulgar Display of Powers, Cowboys from Hells, etc. One of the dulplicates was way more popular than the other... And that one got taken off. This can be a little sad due to the fact that many great reviews (about 200 or so) got erased. I don't know how iTunes could may such a worthless and stupid mistake, but listen, Vulgar is the Best. It was the most popular before the "incident". One of Metal's finest...

This is one of there best albums. Every song is good no bad songs. Just buy the cd.

Vulgar Display of Power - Pantera

One of Pantera's best (Cowboys and Southern Trendkill). But why does this have 4 reviews (this is the 5th). Why does iTunes erase reviews? Anyways this is a fantastic album, there are no filler tracks (this goes for all Pantera albums), and the songs are all decent in length (exept for F*****g Hostile but thats one of the best Pantera songs). Walk is the most known song but that does not all ways mean its the best (its still a fantastic song). My personal favorites are... F*****g Hostile, Mouth for War, A New Level, and Regular People (Conceit). But all the songs are insane. I will rate every song Mouth for War - 10/10 A New Level - 11/10 Walk - 9.5/10 F*****g Hostile - 12/10 This Love - 9/10 (Pantera has made the brootalist love song) Rise - 9.5/10 No Good - 10/10 Live In a Hole - 10/10 Regular People (Conceit) - 10/10 By Demons Be Driven - 9.5/10 Hollow - 9.5/10 (Another slow with This Love) VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER : 10/10

Biography

Formed: 1982 in Arlington, TX

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s

The preeminent metal band of the early to mid-'90s, Pantera put to rest any and all remnants of the '80s metal scene, almost single-handedly demolishing any notion that hair metal, speed metal, power metal, et al., were anything but passé. Loathe to admit it, the Texas band had in fact been one of those '80s metal bands, releasing fairly unsuccessful (and later disowned) glam-inspired music throughout much of the decade. The about-face came with the addition of vocalist Phil Anselmo, and the key...
