Absolutely. And by extension one of their best albums.

That drum sound would be a direct barrier for me ever getting into that album. Some things I can forgive but drumming is my pet peeve.

Tbh if you didnt hear any of the rest of their work you'd think this was just a doom metal album. (because it is)
I love the album but its pretty thin on black metal. I wont go all HBB on it but I'm just not hearing it.

Whatever it is, it rules. I do think there’s enough black metal in its sound to not take issue with that being listed as a secondary genre.
But yeah, doesn’t sound like Master’s Hammer’s Ritual, but these two bands are often compared and I was just qualifying my opinion by naming my two favourite Root albums and saying I like them more than my favourite MH (is anyone’s favourite Master’s Hammer NOT Ritual?!)

Yeah, he was nothing special at all as drummer, but now that he's dead and being brother of Dimebag, he'll be untouchable. Pantera got big due Dime and Phil's work mostly. Rex and Vinnie were totally replaceable members.

This is probably not controversial at all. While i like me some black metalz there's no denying it has by far has the worst fanbase out of any subgenre of metal. The most pretentious, elitist, try hard baggets the world of metal has ever seen.

I don't think anyone is going to argue with that. I've certainly been guilty of it in the past.

There was a period of time in my late teens/early 20s where I nearly exclusively listened to black metal and thought I was too cool for this planet because of it. What a waste.

yeah i ended a couple friendships back then because a few of my buddies had the same mentality. One of my best friends literally started listening to black metal around 97 i wanna say, and completely changed. Started only buying black metal albums from people off forums and i think he also went and purchased a high horse while he was at it. And it was weird to me because we both started with thrash. I remember him playing Transilvanian Hunger and some Emperor for me to get into and i was like "wtf is this crap?". Even dragged me to a few shows with him. My breaking point was when he took my to a Cradle of Filth show, which ended up with me basically saying to myself "yea fuck this shit". We still talk sometimes though lol
edit: i wish someone played me some Dissection instead back then.
Some of them reside right here in this forum too (or at least used to)
Also: Pantera never had a bad album once Phil joined.

Not worst than progressive metal fans, especially Dream Theater/Opeth/Tool/Porcupine Tree fans.

while i enjoy some of their work, they never had a really good one either. I think i remember Reinventing the Steel being pretty shitty tbh, but i've only heard that album once or twice and that was like over 10 years ago or something.
Far Beyond Driven is their best album imo

Trendkill is probably their best. Their most extreme album for sure, great atmosphere too.

yea that's my second "favorite" from them. Def some good stuff on there, but very inconsistent overall. The title track, War Nerve and Suicide Note Pt.1 are pretty good songs.
Definitely not their most extreme album though. That one easily goes to FBD
