I swear, in the past, I have watched every single one of their tour films, I'm familiar with a couple of their singles, I had even gone lightly viral for a Pantera meme I made but otherwise I had never listened to an album of theirs until like three weeks ago. I am utterly smitten with A Vulgar Display of Power. First half I have listened to a dozen times the past three weeks, easily. Everything about it is hitting my lizard brain. I think Anselmo is a pretty remarkable singer! He's got the venom of Hetfield in the thrash era, but is his own thing. Big dumb ripping record. Super. I have given Far Beyond Driven a solid pass once or twice, but I'm gonna wear out Vulgar Display before getting a copy of Far Beyond.

kerble you have to check out Cowboys From Hell, especially if you have any love for 80's histrionics in metal music. There's some weird prog shit on the back half of the record, Anselmo still hasn't found the guttural thing so he's all over his range, Dimebag is in his own league across the whole album.

I can't stand Far Beyond Driven, way too dumb. And I like dumb!

What brought you over to Soundgarden?
