I’d heard him many times before, but that’s when it clicked.

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.major wrote: Tue Dec 09, 2025 12:07 pmIf Kerble doesn't share his recent discovery of Pantera, I will be very disappointed.
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.kerble wrote: Thu Dec 11, 2025 3:46 pmI 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.

Funny thing is that I used to like them a long time ago, got fed up and hated them for a couple decades, and now I enjoy them again. I'm not a deep-diver on the band, but will throw on Badmotorfinger and be stymied by how _weird_ a record like that could have also been popular. so weird!

I used to not like Yes mostly because I never fully dug into any records. Never felt the need. So dumb for one to constantly slam something one has never investigated! Anyway, I was hanging with Steven Drozd one night and he was listening to Yes. I forget which album it was but he stated that The Soft Bulletin would not have existed without whichever Yes album was playing. It was then that I started paying attention to Yes and more prog in general. Never thought it held such grandeur and beauty, always thought it was more of a technical prowess type scene.cakes wrote: Mon Dec 08, 2025 9:59 am The band I'll start with is Yes. On the list was The Yes Album. It has that one song that's always on the classic rock radio station that is kind of lame. The rest of the album is a banger. I love prog, but I always turned my nose at Yes.
