Vulgar Display Of Power (studio album) by Pantera

I like the very extreme nature of the playing and vocals, and they've added enough crunching rhythmic guitar to make it really enjoyable. Amazing guitar solos and technique generally. Thrash metal classic, which in this form is apparently known as groove metal. I'd be an even bigger fan of this album if there were more good songs like "No Good".

Marco do Thrash/Groove

Sounds great, but the sound and some riffs is the only thing it has going for it, which being a metal record is not little, but it lacks variety and the vocals are pretty terrible.

This is real Heavy Fucking Metal. Packed with great tracks. 'Walk' easily taking it's place as one of the greatest ever metal songs. Definitely the best of all Pantera's albums.

This album hasnt age a minute, it has the best balance of hard hitting metal riffs and drums with melodic solos and lyrics.

Favorite Tracks:By Demons Be Driven

Really good album.

Favorites: Walk, Fucking Hostile, No Good (Attack The Radical)

At the time this was in my top handful of albums easily. As time has gone by it grates on me a little. I guess I'm no longer in need of cathartic-anger-listens anymore. However, I can still assess this as being a top-notch thrash genre album.

Tras un fantástico 'Cowboys From Hell' y ya consolidados en el circuito internacional, a Pantera le tocaba la tarea de confirmar que lo suyo no era flor de un día. Y, como no podía ser de otra manera, rompieron con todo provocando un debate que persiste en el tiempo sobre cuál es el mejor disco de Pantera. La agresión de Pantera se mantiene por todo lo alto con un trabajo vocal excelente por parte de Phil Anselmo. La construcción de riffs de Dimebag Darrell dan muestra de porqué es considerado como uno de los mejores hachas en la historia del Metal, por no decir el mejor. Todo cimentado bajo la sabrosa rítmica que conforman Rex Brown y Vinnie Paul trabajando desde las sombras en un discreto pero férreo segundo plano. Disco influyente como pocos, la historia podría haber sido diferente de haber aceptado Dimebag la oferta de Megadeth, pero no lo hizo.

Among the greatest Metal/Thrash albums ever recorded.
For me, Black Sabbath Black Sabbath, Metallica Ride the Lightning, Metallica Master Of Puppets, Metallica ...And Justice For All, Pantera Vulgar display of Power.
A great change from Metallica's Black Album, at the time.
Crazy concert too. '94 Cincinnati Gardens, the crowd pulled all the chairs out of the way and piled them on the floor like they were preparing for an indoor bon-fire.
Good Times.
Dimebag ranks among the best ever as well.
