Cowboys from Hell

by: Pantera

Release Date June 20, 1991
Every metalhead should of heard the classic title track Cowboys From Hell Right? This album is a brilliant metal album not a bad track on it great riffs and solos and awesome vocals, bass and wicked drumming. This is a must have for every metalhead, if you think this is an awesome metal album check out Vulgar Display Of power that's even better. The best tracks are Domination, Cowboys From Hell, Primal Concrete Sledge & Heresy. A must buy a classic. R.I.P Dimebag.

Brutal and lovely. Cold, oozing emotion. I love their extreme brand of funk-metal. Just too awesome. Should be part of every metallers collection.

Great Southern Trendkill

by: Pantera

Release Date May 06, 1996
this has got to be the most under-rated of all the pantera albums, admittedly, it was released in the wave of grunge so it's not surprising it was fairly overlooked by some, as the dull dronings of nirvana were lapped up by the tasteless masses. but the fact that pantera was still going strong whilst the nu-metal and grunge scene lay exhausted is testament to the skill and drive of the raw pantera sound.

anyway, i digress, this is a purely fantastic album.
there is only the sound of an intake of breath before anselmo screams into you ears, it's at this poin that you know you're about to listen to something earth-shaking brutal. the album consists of some of their finest, dark, downtuned and brooding pieces - complete with phil's menacing inaudible ...

Reinventing the Steel

by: Pantera

Release Date March 27, 2000
I agree that this album is not the band's best. There are so many more fantastic metal albums to buy. It is heavy alright but it lacks either strong melodies or top quality rhythm. The vocal track is over the top and the rest doesn't gel. "Vulgar display" is hugely better. In all honesty I find this album difficult to listen to, making me feel a bit like my old mum - yet I have a collection stuffed with Sabbath, Megadeth, Mettallica, Slayer etc. You will be told to turn this down/off - but in such circumstances it is better to have a sense of incomprehending indignation (as if for example you are playing "Vulgar Display") rather than honest agreement. Not for the casual fan. 3 stars? well it is heavy...

Master Of Puppets

by: Metallica

Release Date May 01, 1989
Whoever says this is not their best is wearing earplugs.... or something!!!

You cannot ever want this to end!! It's brilliant from start to finish, and back again.

Anything from these boys after this was downhill all the way!

Not least because of the sad and tragic loss of the inimitable Clifford Lee Burton, lost to us all on the Damage Inc.tour.

What ever you do put this on in memory of Cliff, clamp on your headphones, tight, turn it up to no.11, turn out the lights and let it happen!!!!!

Death Magnetic Limited Edition

by: Metallica

Release Date September 12, 2008
I'm not much given to hyperbole and "ace" is not a word I've used much since I was 14, twenty years ago, but then I haven't enjoyed an album this much since 1988 either. Certainly not one by Metallica. Death Magnetic, however, is just...ace.

The Blackening

by: Machine Head

Release Date March 26, 2007
Quite probably the greatest metal album of the past decade and it would be a hard argument not to say one of the finest ever made.

Metallica

by: Metallica

Release Date July 01, 1991
With well over a hundred reviews for this album, why should I add another? There is nothing more to be said other than
1) When they next get together to get another series of 'Classic Albums - The Making Of' DVD's, this should definitely be one of them, and
2) Every 'serious' rock fan's collection should have this album, it is absolutely essential!!
Say No More!!
