A score will do …

He may be a virtuoso for all I know mate, but on this particular record, nothing special imo.So maybe it’s something you don’t like, whatever, to call him average is just wrong though, he’s clearly not which is why people still consider them one of the best metal bands and guitars players there’s been.

New Score
Pantera
Vulgar display of power
I couldn't get through the album quick enough :-/
How did Pantera find their sound? What drew this collection of musicians to this particular genre and to produce this particular album?
None of you are going to be shocked when I confirm that this really isn't my bag at all.
As I have eluded to on previous bands (Metallica and GnR spring to mind), it feels more of a persona, the skull and bones shit, the head banging, the Satan worshipping, the playing a solo so fast on your guitar that it sets alight etc etc. How did the lead vocalist learn that he could sign like that without effectively trying to mimic something / someone else? It feels staged and not organic (yes I know I have effectively just written off a large proportion of the planets population).
A positive I would pay them is the sheer amount of physical effort it must take then to produce said music - I mean, how fucking fit must that drummer be?
Apologies - post amended above now - a very generous 2/10.............What's the score hollibob?
I loved it… Really loved it (to almost quote a post! It’s a great listen on the way home from work when you’ve had a bad day. Solid 8/10 for me. RIP Dimebag

I'll cut to the chase, never going to work for me and I would like to see some of the musicians try their hand at a different genre of music that we can properly dissect.
In one of the songs, the vocals screech out to 'be yourself' or similar, I'd like to see them take a leaf out of their own book.
It's a 2/10 Pantera - and the only reason you avoided the one is that I am saving it for Hucknell or the likes.
Let's see what @BlueHammer85 pulls out of the F.A. cup style bag of balls next............ ;-)
Try as I might - not particularly........... ;-)So...not keen then.
