Controversial opinions on metal

You can't really go wrong with the first three records with Phil but I can understand why people wouldn't like anything after that. I like all the albums with Phil. I wish the ones with Terry Glaze would get reissued because I'd like to buy them.

Only Cowboys From Hell and Power Metal are real.

Walk on home, boy

Cowboys from Hell is intermittently good, but too much second-rate thrash. Vulgar Display has better songs and a more realized sound, but the production is too lightweight and Pantera still wasn't quite there soundwise. I don't have much opinion on whether Far Beyond Driven is better than The Great Southern Trendkill, but they're both heavy as fuck and do Pantera the way I want it done.

Yeah, it's a shame they won't put out their early albums. They were independently released by the band I believe, which is probably why.

The reason I like The Great Southern Trendkill is probably the last 45 seconds of Floods and also Suicide Note Pt. I.
 
Second-rate my ass, almost nothing sounded like Cowboys or had that consistency and quality when it came out.
