This has got to be the most overrated, awful band around who go steadily downhill with each passing year. Vulgar Display of Power was a good record with a fair share of grooves, but this??? I never could listen to this clear through because Phil Anselmo had become decidedly cheesy in his singing approach. Ugh. Maybe the only redeeming factor is in their cover of Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan". Unfortunately, Pantera has been all-too-responsible for bringing back in the illiterate, beer-bellied, over aggressive doofus element into metal music, replacing fans with overbearing jocks with wit to match. And kids, remember this drunken bunch of rednecks used to be a makeup-clad glam band until it became cool to be heavy. Talk about a discreet sell-out. Review by John Chedsey Review date: 06/1997 |
