That would have been fucking tits.
Instead we got Load.
And then fucking Reload.
And then fucking Garage Inc.

The only album that matters is Great Southern Trendkill, but you guys put in a solid effort pretending like other shit was important.

I am so late to this party my bitterness is all I have left to bring.
Sorry.

I tried to leave it for you bro but yeah...

Slow is as slow does.

Freaking rad album.
My favourite Pantera album.

Not sure if being called "slow" by eurothrasher compliment or underhanded swipe....(insert Fry meme here).

Wait. Is this the Unpopular Opinion thread?

Dude...go and put the record on right now, come back and attempt to stick to your argument.

Dude ive been saying this for a minute. His tele tone is outrageous.

Yeah plus his voice is on the money. It would have been rad. He could have just bought in Pepper Keenan and Jerry Cantrell like they did on that Skynard cover and been done with it.

It got a mention, but it's no Chaos AD.

There is no edge behind AC, there is only pustulence.

You could draw any of the previous three, from a hat, and still beat that one.

Nope.

Exactly correct.

It is by far their most extreme record in all directions, lyrics are good (in Phil terms), songwriting is strong. Tonez are brutal. Swaggers harder, grooves harder, does slow stuff more eerily, and Phil's voice was still good.

Plus j think the production is pretty timeless. Doesn't sound dated at all to my ears.

If you can't be bothered listening to the album just put the last few minutes of the title track on, real loud. And then when that's done listen to the best solo ever in Floods. Then listen to everything.

Gor's last post is pretty much why I don't need to write a dissertation on Trendkill.
If the end riff from the title track isn't the best riff ever written, then the solo/outro to Floods is.

For real man!

Fine, this is turning into a mutual adoration thread but fuck it. That riff in tgstk still hits so hard, despite the fact I've heard it hundreds of times over the last twenty years.

Pantera might be the most overrated metal band ever.

Just because they are overrated doesn't mean they weren't fucking awesome.

Pantera are adequately rated, so long as you delete the first four LPs.

They were definitely the absolute best "Hang on a minute, lads. We're really shit. How about we stop being shit?" band. Has any other band recovered from prolonged utter shittiness as much as Pantera did? I can't think of another band off the top of my head that released as many as four crappy, crappy records before deciding to stop being shitty.

Credit where it's due.

What about MetallicA and Megadeath and Slipknot? I can still listen to Trendkill [sometimes] I can't say that for most metal bands I liked when I was 14...

Slayer and Sepultura fall into this a bit too…

Metallica's 80s run is not to be questioned. Everything after 1993's Live Sh*t: B&P box set is overrated though. Everything.

SLAYER is the most overrated metal band ever, by SLAYER fans, who only listen to SLAYER (estimated 80% of their fanbase)
Nevertheless they're 1 of the big 4 & battlejacket staples.
