Pantera's Heaviest Album?

[SouthernTrendkill]

What do you think it is?

I think it's without a doubt The Great Southern Trendkill. I sometimes slip up and start thinking Reinventing The Steel is the heaviest, but on Trendkill all the screaming and Seth Putnam's backing just puts it onto a slightly higher level of heavy than any of their other albums. 'Course for me heaviness is a lot about how the vocals are, so maybe one of the other albums is heavier instrumentally speaking.

 

[The Ozzman]

Far Beyond Driven

 

[AchrisK]

none of them are the heaviest

 

[SouthernTrendkill]

Far Beyond Driven

That's a good point... I forget how intense that album is because of how groovy & rockish Five Minutes Alone is. And because the I'm Broken riff sounds like The Ocean by Led Zeppelin.

cant... resist... must... say...

PANTERA FUCKING SUCK. listen to some real metal.

but ya know, even shit has weight. so do this. take their worst album and use that. using the "biggest piece of shit" theory the largest turd will obviously be the heaviest.
~gR~

 

[The Ozzman]

I like Pantera, but I haven't listened to a full album of theirs in about a month

You guys are such punk rockers. All this bullshit about real metal. Pantera isn't real metal? PANTERA?

Ya'll talk about so-and-so band isn't metal enough because of what kind of FASHION adorns them. Fashion? Judging people based on fashion is what highschool cheerleaders do. So insecure.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

The great southern trendkill is the most tuned down and aggressive.

well, i dont know what kind of clothes they wear, but i think we can blame the creation of nu metal on pantera and anthrax. i dont like them because their music is oversimplified garbage for beer swilling rednecks.

[AchrisK]

I don't care if you classify Panterrible as real metal or not. I just dislike everything I hear coming form them. Tough-guy metal just doesn't do it for me.

I like some Anthrax, but they were the first to bastardize with rap.

 

[IWP]

Cowboys From Hell (their only good 90s album)

 

[Sabin Frost]

I like some Anthrax, but they were the first to bastardize with rap.

On ONE song, ONE song!

The thread is about their heaviest album, NOT "your fucking opinion of the band". I don't get why any thread about a band that has a huge following instantly turns into a piss fest of people saying how much the band sucks and the overly used cliched response of "listen to real metal" good god if I had a penny for everytime I heard that saying. By the way I do listen to "real metal" and I also listen to Pantera. Why? Because it's good, fun music to listen to, why the fuck do you care so much about what I'M listening to, why is that any concern of yours?

Anyways to keep on topic, I think Reinventing The Steel was their heaviest, every time I listen to that album it just kicks me in the ass!

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, I was going to say something when AchrisK and GR said 'Fuck Pantera' or along those lines, but it's fucking useless anymore.

 

[byrne]

Isn't Reinventing the Steel a best of?

Anyway, I agree with Far Beyond Driven - I think that's by far their heaviest.

It's definitely not Cowboys From Hell though - there is almost nothing heavy about that album at all (and I'm not talking purely aesthetically eitehr)

 

[The Ozzman]

Reinventing the Steel is NOT a best of.

That has one of the best Pantera songs ever on it: Revolution Is My Name

 

[Alongside Death]

The great southern trendkill is the most tuned down and aggressive.

Agreed.

Primal Concrete Sledge is pretty heavy. That was the first Pantera song I ever heard. I bought Cowboys From Hell because of it. I ended up swapping it for Symphonies of Sickness though.

Anyway from what I've heard of The Great Southern Trendkill, it sounded like their heaviest, but certainly not their best. A New Level off Vulgar Display is probably their best fuck-off heavy song.

Suck a dick. Pantera IS real metal whether you like it or not.

As far as the heaviest album by Pantera?
I'm going w/ the OZZman on this one and saying Far Beyond. Songs like Use My 3rd Arm and 10 years(especially the end "We're Fucking you Back!!!")
Ahh love that shit. Pantera will NEVER get old to me.
