Pantera

Far Beyond Driven

Dissapointed, Very Dissapointed

Review Score:

(6/10)
Wow, this is pretty dissapointing when compared to their album "Vulgar Display Of Power". I mean for me "Vulgar Display Of Power" was like in my top 5 favourite thrash albums of all time, the lyrics were top notch, the replay value was high, Dimebag Darrel(if thats how you spell it) chucked in great solo's in each song, Phil sang more, the drummer beated his drums with style.

But now look at this album, no more of Dimebag Darrels solo's, no more terrific songwriting e.g "this love", singer basically raps now, drummer just beats the hell out of his drums with no care, low to medium replay value, bad remake of black sabbath song "Planet Caravan".

Although this is Pantera's heaviest album, that certainly doesn't mean it's their best to me its their worst or second worst album. Like Slayer_Dude said which couldn't have been said better the first 4 songs are good however it goes all the way downhill until you reach the last track(planet caravan) which is the worst song on the album and the worst redo ever.
All in all i recomend you get their album "Vulgar Display Of Power" and then get this album last out of all the pantera albums. I don't even know if this deserves 3 stars. Hope this helped.
