    So glad you reacted to Pantera. One of the most important bands in metal. They kept metal going through the 90s when grunge and alt rock dominated. RiP Dimebag and Vinnie Paul. Cowboys From Hell and Far Beyond Driven are great albums too. Pantera's is called groove metal. It is not as thrash sounding as band like Overkill, Kreator, and Slayer. Or even 80s Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. If you have not done Anthrax then Among the Living is a must. One of the best thrash metal albums of all time.

      I cant remember who it was but one of the YT vocal coach reactors concluded that Dimebag's guitar style is far more that of a vocalist. Ever since hearing that it's kinda clicked in my head, like an epiphany of truth. And that sharpness suddenly jumped out at me as a virtuoso singer

      Unlike a lot of metal/hard rock, etc. players who used Marshalls amps, Dimebag used Randall's which was high gain solid state instead of tubes. Gave him the 'chainsaw' tone. Loved his sound on their 90's albums. I was able to closely replicate the sound using DOD Death Metal pedal and a eq in the mid 90's.

    The reason for my having liked this album was because of Walk, since it was used as the theme song (well that and a cover version if it by a band named Kilgore) for former ECW wrestler Rob Van Dam. And it has a very easy and chantable chorus as well that doesn't hurt.
    But A New Level, Hollow, and This Love are awesome as well. I only slightly prefer Cowboys From Hell over this one, but this album is epic as well. Great reaction, Molly, love your candid expressions and mannerisms lol.

    Yea Pantera is a weird band because they made 4 albums in the 80's but were more GLAM metal & had a different singer, Their Album Cowboys From Hell(Album before Vulgar)is where they got heavier & made the genre of Groove Metal popular. The only 80's album from them i'd check out is Power Metal because that's the first album with singer Phil Anselmo(who's on this album) but i'd check that out after getting through the 90's records. Also you should check out the band DOWN, it's Phil Anselmo's(lead singer) 2nd band, their debut album NOLA is really good, it's more sludgey/swampy than Pantera.
    Also the band has a sad/dark history. The guitarist Dimebag Darrell was murdered on stage at a 2004 concert with his new band Damageplan. The Drummer for Pantera Vinnie Paul is Darrell's brother & was in Damageplan too & saw his brother get murdered. Vinnie unfortunately died of a heart attack in 2018. Pantera eventually broke up in the early 2000's which is why Damageplan was formed, the break up was because Anselmo was a recovering drug addict & wasn't getting along with the 2 brothers & said stupid shit(which Phil does alot). After the murder Vinnie never forgave Phil up until his death.

I'd still love to hear their earlier stuff too though, see how they went from Glam metal to thrash metal. That's an interesting trajectory as a band. So sad too about Dimebag Darrell's murder, that is intense to say the least. Quite an interesting history they've got as a band, I'll have to look more into Pantera and their band members.

    In high school in the 90's I didn't really listen to rock music. It was a predominantly black high school in the inner city. One day a kid was going around selling (probably stolen) new CD's all day at school. I had turned down buying what he had earlier that day. By the end of the day he only had one CD left and he asked me if I listened to rock music and I told him "no, not really" and he said here, just take it. The CD was Pantera - Far Beyond Driven, I knew Pantera was hard shit, so I gave it a try in my car and I was like "fuck yeah!" This was the hard sound I could get into. This one CD was all of the Pantera I had and happy for it. Sound is great. It was Deftones later that I got into heavy sounds and Static-X for heavy vocals. So I recommend Far Beyond Driven for next album to check out and Static-X sometime as well.
