@@RuthlessMetalYT 80's Pantera just sound like a wannabe glam/Metal. From comboys from hell to upward this is where they find their own true musical identity. Groove metal is such a elusive term. 90' Pantera is way heavier than so called trash bands. Far beyond driven and the great southern trendkill is Pantera at their most violent, expérimental and punishing when many bands trying to compromise their sound for MTV and mainstream airplay ex Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus.. etr... Dimebag Direll guitar playing was way above others players when its come for rythme and groove.Meshuggah is a big gamechanger that separate old school from new school metal. You're ranking show that you're more of a 80's old school metal guys than anything else. Don't get me wrong here! I I still hold 80' metal in very high regard because as a middle age men i've seen it all. Metal as to evolve and not be stuck in the 84-92 period.

Dimebag's (Or should I say "Diamond's") solo on "We'll Meet Again" is awe-inspiring along with some full blown Thrash moments in a spot or two, the album lives up to the last decade in which we had unfiltered awesomeness free of the subversive decay that was just around the corner when Grunge and other forms of media(TV, Movies, etc.) all embraced the "hungover" vibe of the 90s.

Ouch I was pretty shocked on your take of the last half of Pantera. As that is when I got into them was Cowboys From Hell and till the end. Here are my rankings and favorite track from each album if I have one. 1. Cowboys From Hell: Medicine Man & it is my favorite track from Pantera overall. Phil's vocals were absolutely incredible in this track and it is super criminally underrated. 2. Vulgar Display Of Power: A New Level. This is the album that pretty much got me into Pantera. I bought the CD at a local owned record store after I got out of high school in late '92. And it literally blew my mind! 3. The Great Southern Trendkill: Floods. And hands down is one of Dimebag's best guitar pieces I feel. 4. Far Beyond Driven: I honestly do not have a favorite track from this particular album. But it is fun to listen to. 5. Power Metal: No favorite track, but this album is fantastic and really showed the awesome vocal range Phil once had. 6. I Am The Night: I don't have a favorite track, but this album is pretty good and has some great tracks to jam to. After that point I can't really rank the rest as I didn't listen to them as much. Maybe my ranking will change if I listen to them some more over time. Also I have seen Pantera twice in my lifetime and they were great! Once in '98 with Slayer, Soulfly, Megadeth and Black Sabbath and again at Ozzfest in '00.

Its nice to see a new take on Pantera. They've always been sorta controversial in one way or another. I'll defend Cowboys and Vulgar as I think they are really good (if a little similar to each other) and nobody can argue they arent good songs to work out too. But being a big fan of 80's thrash and a little bit of 90's stuff like early Pantera or Iced Earth (If you like them I'd love to see you rank Iced Earth) I didn't really care for what they and the metal genre in general turned into, even as a young 20 year old I can tell a lot of what made metal special early on has kinda vanished and metal has kinda become a parody of itself, and I think Pantera had a large hand in that.

Well, that's it, Pantera baby!, It's time to rank. 1-Far Beyond Driven (a goddamn awesome album that is probably the best Grove metal album I've ever heard!!) 2-Cowbowys of hell (this album is a total classic, and definitely the album that changed Pantera!) 3-Vulgar display of power (another goddamn awesome album, not soo much compared to far beyond, but it still kicks ass ALOT) 4-Reiveinting the Steel (An really UNDERRATED album, that ended Pantera with an platinum key 😎) 5-great southern Trend-kill (not a very good album, but it is still AWESOME 😎👌) Well, now Is the pre-Cowboys from Hell era. Well, I will be quick and punctual. 1-Power Metal 2-I Am The Night 3-Projects in the jungle 4-metal magic in general, all Glam era albums are decent, and power metal for example is actually a really good one. Even tough I was not a fan of glam, reviewing now my thoughts on glam, I can say that yes, the Pantera glam era is not that bad, on the contrary, I like it decently. Soo yes, even on the Glam era, Pantera is still one of the best bands I've ever knew. Also, R.I.P Dimebag and Vini, you two were among the best and we're the best. I hope you two are living in peace wherever you are...

some trivia: Cowboys from Hell was initially recorded in 1989 before being redone in 1990, the early versions were added on deluxe and other editions of the album under the name Cowboys from Hell: The Demos and Phil's vocals sound more clean on it and the one song that got cut, The Will to Survive, is a pretty cool 80s Pantera track. anyway I like both eras of Pantera though I felt this 'angry Groove Metal' style was getting somewhat tiring by the last few albums.

I am glad someone else appreciates how much better I Am the Night was than the tuff guy hip hop was. It makes me extremely angry that like spoiled little kids Pantera has made it impossible to buy new copies of their only albums worth buying. Someone should legally make them give up rights to hold back the reissues. Just like Tom Fischer and Cold Lake, which is also BS. Fortunately I could care less about buying a reissue of Cold Lake, but I would love to find some decent remastered CDs of the first 4 Pantera albums

Interesting list. Good job! I was surprised you even ranked Pantera, since I knew before you weren't a fan. But I'm glad you did, since I watched this video as soon as I saw it. As a Pantera fan, here is my list: 1. Cowboys From Hell (one of the first metal albums I listened to, so I have lots of nostalgia. But this album is the most consistent from them (imo). Great songs as well). 2. Far Beyond Driven ( I love this album, even though it's agreeably repetitive. There's some of their best riffs (imo) and I dont have a problem with Phil's vocals in this era). 3. Power Metal ( Underrated, and should be reissued. More of a classic metal sound, but I love classic heavy/speed/thrash metal, so it's good. Some good songs on here and shouldn't be skipped) 4. Projects in the Jungle (This is where the Pantera albums for me start to dip in quality. This album is too glammy and unoriginal for my taste (I'm not going to argue Pantera is the most original band, but their later albums compared to this is like a different band). Production is also trash. But it's a decent record. 5. The Great Southern Trendkill (Some people say this album is one of their best, and I don't see why. Drag the Waters is my favorite Pantera song, but the rest are just average. Also, Phil recorded his vocals in a different studio from the band, so that shoes tension starting to be built and ruining song quality of their later albums.) 6. Reinventing the Steel (The Great Southern Trendkill... except even more bland.) 7. I Am the Night ( Not as bad as Metal Magic, but still bad. Don't get personally why this is considered the best album of the glamtera album (by some), cause it fails at going a little "heavier" than Projects. Haven't listened to it in a while, but from what I remember i shouldn't. 8. Metal Magic: Bland, cheesy, ripoff glam garbage. Thanks for reading

This is.. not what I expected. I've always thought the pre-Cowboys albums are very underrated, but you might be the only person in history to rate IATN #1. Most people who appreciate the Glamtera albums rate PM the highest out of those albums. Still, I'd go with something more like: 1) CFH 2) VDOP 3) PM 4) FBD 5) IATN 6) PITJ 7) TGSTK 8) RTS 9) MM. And tbh 6-8 are relatively interchangeable rank-wise.

My rankings: 1: Vulgar Display of Power. This is their album where everything lands. Mouth For War, Walk, Rise, Regular People, This Love, Fucking Hostile... really, I should list every song, but I won't. Also, four of the tracks here were the inspirations for some of the classic DOOM songs, so this album is pretty special to me. 2: Cowboys From Hell. Almost as good as VDOP. Lots of bangers here. The title track, Domination, Art of Shredding, and Shattered are just a few. The only reason it's at number 2 is because VDOP is just that good. 3: Far Beyond Driven. It's a solid album. Not a perfect one though. Strength Beyond Strength is one of my favorite Pantera songs, and it's also home to songs like 25 Years, Becoming, I'm Broken, and 5 Minutes Alone. There's some bad parts though. Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks is kinda dull, and I don't care much for the Planet Caravan cover either. Throes of Rejection lyrically sounds like it was written by a simp who got cheated on by his girlfriend because of an inferior dick size. Yeah, sounds extreme, but the lyrics are that bad. Also, Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills is easily their worst 90s song. Fun album despite its shortcomings. 3 (Tied With FBD): Reinventing The Steel. It seems like I admire this album more than other people do. Goddamn Electric, Death Rattle, Yesterday Don't Mean Shit, We'll Grind That Axe For A Long Time, etc. Very solid album. The high points aren't THAT high, but the lows aren't quite low either. This one is tied with FBD because it really depends on preference; would you rather have a consistently good album, or an album with high high points, but low low points? 4: The Great Southern Trendkill. This is St. Anger if it was a better album. The band was going through a lot of rough stuff at the time, and it shows, especially with songs like Suicide Note Part 2. The title track, War Nerve, Drag The Waters, and Floods are pretty solid. It's a bit of an acquired taste at times, I will say, but definitely not bad. 5: Every 80s album. Not a fan of this era. Power Metal is the one decent album of the era, as it felt like they were starting to find their sound. Before that, however, it wasn't even remotely good. They were basically one of those rock bands that mostly sang about sex and stuff. Absolutely cringe lyrics. The instrumentals are usually nothing special either. Also, the official Pantera account doesn't even have a playlist for these albums, and the genius pages have grammar errors. Even Metallica's Lulu didn't have those shortcomings, so make of that what you will.
