Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Even those who scoff at the idea that rock & roll is the devil's music have to think twice when listening to Pantera. The pill-popping, strip-bar-ogling, beer-guzzling Texas combo takes Metallica's speed-metal cues to new heights of brutality and sacrilege. Fortunately, they're extremely good at what they do. The polyrhythmic complexity of Vinnie Paul's drumming in "Psycho Holiday" and guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell's breathtaking solo in "Heresy" are examples of state-of-the-art metal musicianship. Vocalist Phil Anselmo often sounds like Metallica's James Hetfield, but his brooding croon on "Cemetery Gates" and his falsetto screams on the blindingly fast "Shattered" are more like vintage Deep Purple. Released in 1990, Cowboys made Pantera one of metal's top draws during an era in which it was almost eclipsed by alternative rock. --James Rotondi

This album is truely incredible. Right from the start to the very last note you will get pulled in. This album is certainly by no means short of amazing riffs, solos and all round great guitar playing. Vocaly Phil is at his most versatile pulling off power metal type vocals to rough and gritty styles simular to that of the later part of their career. The drums are pounding and well used as well as basslines that complemet all of the guitar work perfectly. This is one of those rare CD's you will buy that will be timeless as it can be played over and over again and be just as enjoyable as the first time you heard it. If you like metal to drink to, do yourself a favour and buy this!

Well, this album has got to be the best album produced by pantera. Complete with amazing riffs and the amazing vocals of Phil Aslemo. theyre isnt a good song on the whole record as they are all amazing! any acclaimed metal fan should have it in their collection. highlights of the album would include 'cemetary gates' its mellow yet powerful lyrics can make the hairs on your arm stand on end! the lyrical content of this album is wonderful, this isnt an album ful of meaningless random words or phrases.it is a very talented masterpiece that will stay in your CD player for months on end.

This is one of my favourite CD's.
Track 4 is standout for me. An all-round winner if you like your groove metal.

A classic! but wouldn't work in computers :S
Just about every inch of this album is amazing I need not say any more than that. It really does bridge the gap between 80's Thrash metal and the new groove type metal in the 90's. Read more

Pantera your walls down!
This is definately Pantera's best album (yes, that's better than the incredibly overrated Vulgar Display Of Power). Every song is memorable in it's own way. Read more
