FAR BEYOND DRIVEN, a fucking classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[Hell Mike]

I knooow MORAN, I just don't know what his was called. It was blue with lightning.

 

[NAD]

Looks like they have 38953590871349085719890asdfoidsjlpku4f298uy89iuo24 different model grades depending on cash flow.

 

[J.]

I also thought the only one worth owning was Vulgar Display simply because of the massive riffs. CFH had like 2 or 3 good songs. I didn't like the little I heard from FBD. GSTK was shit.

 

[matt99_crew]

I'm not a SuperJoint fan, but I think Down is the shit.

And yeah, Pantera kicked all kinds of ass.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Possibly the worst Pantera album (projects in the jungle, metal magic, etc dont count). Pantera in general is one of the most overrated bands ever. Their best is "Power Metal", BY FAR.

 

[NAD]

Really? Is it worth seeking out? I always assumed everything before Cowboys was utter junk.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

It is traditional heavy metal which sometimes reminds of "Painkiller", though it was released earlier. ITS POWER METAL 1@!@!@!@!@. Download the title track and bang your head to the screen. After that album, Pantera were castrated (with few exceptions)

 

[matt99_crew]

That's the first praise I've ever heard for the pre-Cowboys work.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

FACT OF LIFE:
If someone likes heavy metal he likes "Power Metal" from Pantera. If he has listened to it, of course.

 

[matt99_crew]

I haven't ever heard it myself. But hey, it's worth a shot.

 

[lurch70]

all i have to say is that they have 4 records prior to CFH ... that you will not find any mention of on any official Pantera site ... that is just gay ... and so is this:

 

[NAD]

Bump because I got drunk off 1 beer tonight (you heard me), I'm listening to Pantera writing some reviews, blah blah emotional blah blah etc.

You don't know heavy music unless you know this album. Period.

 

[matt99_crew]

This makes me one very sad panda. I'm also one very fucking drunk panda. Merry fucking x-mas.

(Mary? Why, thats MY name)

 

[Papa Josh]

I liked Power Metal.

"Rock The Wooooorrrrld! We Alllllllllllllllll, ROCK! Rock the Wooorrrrrrld!!"

 

[Black Winter Day]

I know the album, it was one of the first real metal albums I ever bought (on cassette, even). It's okay. Not the best, certainly not the worst.

 

[MURAI]

Yes, Far Beyond Driven is one of my favourite albums. Pantera got much more angrier and heavier after that

 

[lurch70]

you know I have all the respect for Dimebag ... but I am just sick and fucking tired about praising people after they die ... please this has got to stop

 

[NAD]

I've been praising him for years.

 

[Papa Josh]

Same here.
