Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Upon its release in the mid-1990s, Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power proved that, even in an era of alternative rock supremacy, heavy metal fans were still a force to contend with. Blending eerie, surging grooves with thrashy speed metal riffs, Pantera created a bleak, oppressive disc that captured both ends of the speed spectrum without resorting to clichi, abrupt tempo shifts. Guitarist Diamond Darrell plays with as much crunch as the best Metallica, while vocalist Phil Anselmo screams loud enough to satisfy any GBH fan. Coupled with Vinnie Paul's insistent, double bass-drum onslaught, you're left with an album that'll shake the fillings out of even the strongest teeth. --Jon Wiederhorn

If only Pantera were still around today. Who knows how many more great albums they have made. Vulgar Display of Power is usually seen as their best album, and for good reason. One of the main reasons is just because the album was so heavy and aggressive. I have never seen a more fitting album title. One the intense opener Mouth For War gets underway with its absolutely crushing main riff, we can tell that this album will be as skull-pounding as anything you've ever heard before.
The band certainly decided to increase the heaviness this record, especially vocal-wise. Singer Phil Anselmo forgets about singing high notes for the most part and intsead creates an unhinged miliataristic roar style of vocals, creating perhaps the ultimate metal voice. His aggressive style was very brutal which fitted very well with Dimebag's monstously heavy riffs, but was clearly not a death growl. Every member of the band plays to their limit, especially Dimebag whose massive riffs and incredible guitar solos drove the album. All this resulted in a stone cold metal classic. The songs here are mostly very aggressive, heavy and groovy. Even the semi-ballads This Love and Hollow have some very heavy sections. The album is more consistent than Cowboys From Hell and so all the songs are great and infinitely listenable.
It should be known by all metalheads just how important a release this album was back in '92. It not only brought metal back on track after the grunge movement, it also created the groove metal movement, leading the way for bands like Machine Head, Sepultura and Korn to follow.
Overall, this album is as much a metal classic as Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, Paranoid and The Number of the Beast. It is an absolutely thunderous listen, with a huge sense of aggression and groove. It'll make you bang your head like crazy and it will also make you laugh at all those ridiculous MTV-based emo posers who believe that they are real metal. Metal doesn't get a lot better than this.

From the first blasts of 'Mouth for War' to the dying strains of 'Hollow' this album remains one of the best metal albums to come out of the nineties. There is a not a single disappointing song, and most songs have frequently been aired at rock clubs across the world. As the name suggests, it's not for the faint-hearted, so it's appeal is probably restricted to those who already have an interest in metal. However anyone who has only recently got into metal will love it (anyone who has been into metal for a while will already have it). One of the most impressive aspects of this album is the production. Despite having been released more than 15 years ago the sound is really fresh and sounds like it was recorded just the other day. Buy it now - you'll love it.

If you claim you are a metal fan and don't have this album in your collection, then like with SLayers Reigh In Blood and Sepulturas Chaos AD, you are not a true metal fan. This is brutal. Brutally loud and heavy, and, also Brutally honest. It also proves that Heavy Metal is not just "Noise". Dimebag Darrell is one of the most technically proficient guitarists ever, never mind just in the metal industry. Phil ANselmos voice is amazingly grunt grunt scream when it needs to be. But on "Hollow" he proves he can sing, very well actually, this a strange song but a nice way to end, with a sweet mournfull record about friendship. Regular People(Conceit), Fucking Hostile and the awsomely catchy Walk are standouts, even though I amonly saying that as because there is not a weak track on the album.
