Which album should I get?

All of the albums are badass, however, start off with either Vulgar Display of Power or TGSTK. You will not be disappointed.

Get far beyond driven. Its probably the best for someone just getting into the band

Basing this on your personal preference or the songs that I dig?

Far Beyond Strength · Post by **Far Beyond Strength** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 9:30 am

Get Far Beyond Driven for your first album. Skip all the way to Hardlines Sunken Cheeks and repeat after Throes of Rejection. You will never want to take that CD out again.

Agreed. But remove that pic. No pics in sigs.

Well your favorite song is 5 Minutes Alone which is on Far Beyond Driven. Becoming is also one of the first songs on that CD. Then there's songs like Strength Beyond Strength...but like I said, that entire album is great, but that later half is what really makes it shine. Most people cream themselves the moment they hear Shedding Skin anyway. That album didn't go multiplatinum and reach the billboard number 1 spot because it had a nice cover.

i happened to get them in order by chance, and i think that it is a good progression. Start with cowboys from hell, get bored of it, move onto vulgar display of power. soon enough you'll come to realise that trendkill is your favourite.

The greatest hits is a bad way to get into Pantera. Only one song off TGSTK on it

TGSTK > VDOP > RTS > CFH > FBD.

yeah well i think that's

just cause those albums aren't as good as the major label stuff, doesn't mean they should be forgot.

I dont either. i think they fucking rule. Dime owns on them and the lyrical content is absolute genius. but someone getting into Pantera, who wantgs accessibility and quality should opt for the major label shit. naked pics.

AlphaOmegaCFH · Post by **AlphaOmegaCFH** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 2:39 am

Get the great southern trendkill, then the rest.

well homeboys? where the FUCK am i supposed to buy these albums before cowboys!?

how about meat, tyres and concrete in a blender? maybe thats what fags are made of?

Bad Guys Wear Black · Post by **Bad Guys Wear Black** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 6:53 pm

hmm get either Vulgar Display of Power or Far Beyond Driven, i think they define Pantera's sound best.

the "real pantera" is anything made by pantera, and that includes the old shit. a lot of people dont consider anything before power metal pantera cause phil wasnt the singer, but thats just opinion.

Dont be one of thoes losers at a party that says "Lets hear some WALK!"

I say get them all at once, pop 'em in a multi disc cd player and hit random. But realize right from jump that "Floods" is the best song you will ever hear in your life. You get me? EVER.

The production on TGST is just fine.

The only thing I see wrong with that album is that Phil's voice has started to deteriorate by that time...

Eibon · Post by **Eibon** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 2:19 pm

nah the production is weird...it's not so much a raw unit as FBD and VDOP.

RTS also has that strange flatter production...which is a shame because the songs on RTS are my faves.
