This time, I tackle the entire discography of arguably the greatest metal band from my home state. Old Head links: / oldhead.tx / oldheadpodcast / oldheadpodcast
* I haven't heard any of their 4 early albums* 5 - Cowboys From Hell 4 - Reinventing The Steel 3 - The Great Southern Trendkill 2 - Vulgar Display Of Power 1 - Far Beyond Driven
You could also argue live in Los Angeles 92 remastered. That version of Domination is so good. If you are not aware of this concert video you're welcome
My ranking: 1. Far beyond driven 2. Cowboys from hell 3. The great southern trendkill 4. Vulgar display of power 5. Reinventing the steel All perfect albums to me tho any of them could be my number one really. Great vid and ranking by the way oldhead. 🤘
@Awc dude, you left out glamtera; at least it wasn't influential like the '90s crap. They became a band with good leads, drums, but awful groove riffs/shit songs. This band were detrimental to metal, but fortunately, it started to recover in the 2000s. 1. Cowboys - essentially, an '80s album 2. Power Metal That's it!
Trendkill is one of those albums that you warm up to a few years later. But yeah, Far Beyond is the shit. Met Pantera in 94 in support of this album. Good times ....from what I remember 🤘🏻
I'm very surprised that TGST is not higher on most lists. I never thought about a Pantera rank that much but I'm not afraid to say that to this day, TGST is my favorite with CFH as a close second. Imo, TGST has the best production, not too much not too least. Dime's guitar never sounded as great, his riffs are very groovy and this album has two of his best solos: Floods and 10s. The intro of 13 Steps is perfection just like the acoustic guitar on Suicide Note. And last but not least, Phil's lyrics are so dark man, soo deep. This is a very ominous and raw record, I adore it. 1. The Great Southern Trendkill 2. Cowboys From Hell 3. Vulgar Display Of Power 4. Far Beyond Driven 5. Power Metal 6. Reinventing The Steel
I have a nostalgic connection to Great Southern Trendkill. Some dickhead at school jumped me and ended up kneecapping me and leaving me there... Over the course of that summer I listened to a shit load of Pantera at the gym doing physiotherapy and getting back on my feet!
My ranking is going to be all over the place but it's all a matter of personal preference anyways so here it is: (I didn't listen to the first three albums enough to give any kind of review so I'll just skip them.) 6. Power Metal - For it's time it's a good album. I can't really say that I'm a fan of the 80's sound but the guitar solo on We'll Meet Again is one of the best solos I've ever heard in my life, seriously, it's beautiful. I understand why Philip eventually moved away from this vocal style but I'm glad he has this in his repertoire. It's insane to me that this is the same guy that would latter deliver the vocal performance in a track like Slaughtered. He's insane and I mean that as a compliment. 5. Far Beyond Driven - Just because it's this low on the list doesn't mean that I don't love it or that I don't think it's a good album - it's a fantastic album but I love the other 4 more, so here it is. For some reason I never got hooked on 5 Minutes Alone but I absolutely love I'm Broken and think it's the strongest song on the album. It's blasphemous to say this but their cover of Planet Caravan is better than the original and it's placing on the album is just perfect, after you get smacked around by the intensity and heaviness of the album you listen to Planet Caravan and it feels like catharsis. 4. Reinventing the Steel - I don't understand why people seem to dislike this one so much. Pantera ended their career on a high note and putting I'll Cast a Shadow as the last song of the last album.... there's just something so poetic about that, they really did cast a large shadow over the metal world after they left. Me writing this 20 years after the release of RTS, and I was only 3 years old back then, is proof of that. The riff in Revolution Is My Name is insane and the first time I heard that song I instantly thought of Black Sabbath. 3. Cowboys From Hell - Oh, I love this one. This was the first album of theirs I ever listened to and the reason I fell in love with them. I know this was Pantera just getting started and I know it's still in part reminiscent of the 80's, but they took the best of the 80's and put it in there while at the same time foreshadowing what they were going to do later on in their career. Cemetery Gates is a timeless classic, you can't change my mind on that. 2. Vulgar Display of Power - This is the ultimate Pantera album, the one they will be remembered for, the one every metalhead, be they fans of Pantera or not, must know. There's nothing more for me to say about it. This Love is one of the greatest metal ballads ever written. 1. The Great Southern Trendkill - This is probably the most divisive Pantera album as I've seen people either say they absolutely love it or they just never got into it. I'm in the first group. I don't necessarily think it's their best but it's my personal favorite. This is the darkest, grimmest, rawest, most emotional material they ever put out there. I can't imagine the reaction of people who first got this back in '96 when they heard that 10 seconds long scream on the opening track. Floods is a masterpiece. 10's is so vulnerable you can clearly hear Phil Anselmo was going through personal hell. And then there's Suicide Note Pt II, the first time I heard it I thought it was horrendous but then it creeps up on you and gets under your skin. That is the angriest, most emotional song about depression I've ever heard, now it's one of my favorite Pantera songs. I also love how this album was basically a middle finger to the mainstream scene at the time and there isn't a single song on it that could be played on the radio. Sorry for making this 5 miles long. If you got to this point I just wanna say I'm jealous of your glorious hair.
My ranking 5.reinventing the steel 4.far beyond driven 3.vulgar display of power 2.the great southern trendkill 1.cowboys from hell Hell yeah man im from texas also🤘
7-Everything before Power Metal 6-Power Metal 5-Reinventing The Steel 4-Vulgar Display Of Power 3-Cowboys From Hell 2-The Great Southern Trendkill 1-Far Beyond Driven Everything after CFH is amazing, Pantera is my all time fav band(with Metallica)
I really like you ratings! I really appreciate that you have Trendkill on second position! I know it's verry agressive and extreme but it is a killer album and verry overlooked! Like how could you not like Title Track,Floods,The Underground in America,Living Through Me (Hells Wrath) or Drag the Waters?
Some people just don’t understand trendkill!!! Except maybe the guy in the comments here ranking it #1. For me I enjoy all of the albums in different ways and ranking pantera is just to hard. Except power metal,I’d have no problem putting that #6. Yes its cool to see the rawness and the skills but the band just hadn’t found themselves yet. Glad you also appreciate yesterday don’t mean shit! That’s highly underrated!!!
Youre right about Yesterday dont mean shit being underrated (so is the whole album i think) but Phil and the illegals actually playing that song live as the only one from that album.. I Think its a shame they dont play uplift - love that song!
I have projects in the jungle and I am the night as a split CD and got it way back in 2005 and I actually like them. But when it comes to my favorite pantera album it's the great southern trendkill. I think for me it just grew more on me over time. Great video as always man.
7. (havent listened to first 3) 6. Reinventing the Steel 5. Far Beyond Driven 4. Power Metal 3. Cowboys From Hell 2. Vulgar Display of Power 1. The Great Southern Trendkill
Man, TGST is their heaviest record! Yes, Anselmo recorded vocals away from the rest of the band, but still. My list: 6. Power Metal 5. Reinventing the Steel 4. Far Beyond Driven 3. The Great Southern Trendkill 2. Cowboys from Hell 1. Vulgar Display of Power
Totally agree with your number one. Not just because that tour was the first time I saw them or that I got to meet Dimebag before the shows but because it fucking rocks. Slaughtered is my favorite all time Pantera song. Love all your ranking videos. Binge watching them today.
Largely agree. And yes, Slaughtered is in my top 3. Vinnie’s playing is just so dynamic, Dimebags riff from 2:43 is sooo freakin’ awesome. I saw them live in 1994, one of my most memorable concerts. They had so much energy and played tighter than (put in something obscene here).
Vulgar and Far Beyond Driven also came out when I was still in college and I was blown away by these albums. Before Vulgar (and the Black Album) I only listened to Whitesnake, Def Leppard and mostly hair metal bands but Pantera introduced me to a heavier type of music. I still love my hair bands to this day but also heavier stuff too.
I was still buying cassettes in 1994, and not only did I get Far Beyond Driven on cassette, but that was my introduction to Pantera; I had never heard anything they did prior to it. Now I have everything except for the four pre CFH releases on cd. I still buy cds in 2020. I don't know how I would rank them, but Trendkill is the one that has grown on me as the years went by.
My ranking: 1. Cowboys from Hell 2. Vulgar Display of Power 3. The Great Southern Trendkill 4. Reinventing the Steel 5. Far Beyond Driven 6. Everything before Cowboys.
I freel all Pantera’s albums are equally killer starting at cowboys from hell to The Great Southern Trendkill! That album kills it times 20! I need to get Phil and the boys very first album together! Far beyond driven was so anticipated and holy crap it delivered! I still love the everlasting crap out of everything they did! Those four guys were so perfect together that they easily left the pack behind. They’re chemistry was always that great!
Pretty much my feelings, though I'd probably put Trendkill above Power Metal and Reinventing above Cowboys. Poor Rex. Nary a mention, as per usual. I dig Phil, and all of the stuff he's done. He's one talented fella.
Nice list man! I havnet really listened to there 80s stuff but im definitely into there 90s stuff. Heres my ranking 5. The great southern trendkill 4. Reinventing the steel 3. Far beyond driven 2. Vulgar display of power 1. Cowboys from hell
Cowboys is my nostalgic favorite, as it was the first album to really introduce me to them, and Reinventing will always stick out in my mind because it had the first Pantera song I learned to play from beginning to end, solos and all (Revolution). BUT, I must say my friend, I agree with your ranking, with Far Beyond and Vulgar going either way, depending on what I'm really in the mood for being the only thing to rerank them on any given day which is a really poor way to determine objectivity, lol. Therefore, I couldn't agree more. Thanks for the vid!
PANTERA by far kicks everyones ass in the metal world been a fan since Cowboys always made it a point to see them live in Michigan they never disappointed me ever 🤘🏻
I love both Glamtera and PANTERA. It was evident from the start, they were a solid act, they were just young so it shows in their early records but they achieved a lot fast once they chose their direction. Dime was an amazing player ever since the 1st record and all the old fanzines would mention this. What's unique about PANTERA is they went from Glam/Hard Rock to defining Groove Metal (and somewhat metal core?) and dominating the 90's, like usually bands get less heavy. One of the greatest Metal bands for sure, shame things ended the way they did...
wow your ranking really matches mine. Yesterday don’t mean shit is totally underrated and slaughtered is their heaviest song and my favorite just as yours
Hey man you just got yourself a new subscriber and now I'm binge watching all your ranking videos. By the way, fucking awesome beard! I bet that if you ever went to a movie audition for the role of a wizard, they would give you the part as soon as you show up 😂
I skipped school to buy Far Beyond Driven my favorite from them I saw them a dozen times form 92 when they opened for Skid Row to 2000 they kept the metal flag flying in the 90s the best era for music
Unpopular opinion, but "Reinventing the Steel" is my favorite Pantera album and "Far Beyond Driven" is my 5th favorite. Deal with it! It's goddamn electric!!!!
Southern Trendkill is really sick. I’m not sure if it’s heavier than far beyond driven, but they are both boundary pushing and extreme in their own way. Sick sick band all their major label debuts are amazing and important records in metal history. Pantera is heard in almost every band that came after.
9. Reinventing the steel 8. Metal magic 7. Far beyond driven 6. I am the night 5. Great southern Trendkill 4. Vulgar display of power 3. Power metal 2. Projects in the jungle 1. Cowboys from hell
I knew if I watched enough of these we'd disagree! Once again I really find zero fault in your explanations or reasoning, just for me I think Great Southern Trendkill is just one of those all-time albums, and is the Pantera album I always reach for first. I mean the solo for Floods alone, OMG.
Nice to see someone agree with my number 1. 9. Metal Magic 8. Projects in the Jungle 7. I Am the Night 6. Power Metal 5. Reinventing the Steel 4. Cowboys from Hell 3. The Great Southern Trendkill 2. Vulgar Display of Power 1. Far Beyond Driven
I remember the first time I heard Suicide Note Pt1 on a plane to my highschool German trip, decided to listen to the “scary” stuff as a fifteen year old. I remember I kept going back and listening to the intro time and time again on my iPod nano. It was at that point I decided Pantera was in my all time favorite bands list.
Whenever I say your top three albums are the best on social media or whatever I get swamped with people saying NO there Not, Reinventing the steel is the best album, the band even said SO. Which made this very interesting and enjoyable to watch.
As long as Far Beyond Driven and Vulgar Dusplays are top 2 the list is legitimate! I personally think you undersold Great Southern Trendkill. I used to think that was the weakest album (and it might be), but upon a relisten i was surprised that i didnt skip a song and i was jammign the entire goddamn time.
Yeah, I'm the reverse in that I think their desire to be heavier undermined the more interesting melodic stuff from Vulgar. I'm less of a fan on some of the weaker tracks like Throes of Rejection,& Use My Third Arm,& if We skip over Good Friends,..its a bit shorter listen. Phil wrote Broken( which is one of the best Tracks on the LP) because of his bad back,& him self medicating,...I think a bit of that shows on the creative side. Thanks 4 Doing This.
My Pantera ranking: 7-9: The 3 Terry Glaze albums. I always viewed these as more of a Judas Priest(Defenders/Painkiller meets VH(Romeo Delight vibe), mixed with all their other influences. Truth be told, if their father wasn't who he was, and they didn't have access to the equipment and studio and such, these would have been demos. They were kids developing their style, imo. 6: Power Metal: The bridge from the first 3 to what they became. A higher quality than their 1st 3. But with Phil, this was still like borderline their polished demos with Phil's influence. 5. Reinventing the Steel. Several standouts. I like that they cut back on the total track listing, in an era when everyone was stuffing CD's with 12-14 tunes. I may like the remix/remaster sound better. Plus the disc compiling all those great soundtrack cuts was fantastic. 4. Cowboys. Half of the tunes would be worthy of the top spot(Domination.......fuuuuuuck), but half diminish it a bit(a bit, this is a solid album with some spectacular parts). Top 3 are very difficult to rank, kind of 1a,1b and 1c 3. Vulgar Display. First half and last couple of songs great. Nothing wrong with beginning of side 2, but the track listing was kinda dumb, cuz those couple of tracks were soo similar in tempo and vibe. Better track listing prolly makes this an A+. 2. Far Beyond Driven. To have a deep track like Shedding Skin, 25 years, Hard Lines.....daym, as well as 'hits' like becoming, 5 minutes and I'm broken' like 1). Trendkill. Drier sounding, less stuff to make mtv or rock radio at the time. But also deeper, more serious/less cock-rockish. I'm splitting hairs here.
My ranking (best song on the album): 9-6. Everything before Cowboys 5. Reinventing the Steel (Revolution is My Name) 4. Vulgar Display of Power (Mouth for War) 3. Cowboys from Hell (The Sleep) 2. Far Beyond Driven (5 Minutes Alone) 1. The Great Southern Trendkill (10's)
9. Power metal 7/10 8. Projects in the jungle 7/10 7. I am the night 7.5/10 6. Power metal 8/10 5. Reinventing the Steel 10/10 4. Far beyond driven 10/10 3. Cowboys From hell 10/10 2. The great southern Trendkill 10/10 1. Vulgar display of power( my favorite album of all time)
My own ranking (as a preface, at a base line, even the lowest album is at least a 7.5/10, which in my book is above average. I'll also only list the one's I've fully listened to) 5. Reinventing the Steel -This album is actually way better than people give it credit for. It's only #5 because I have to have a #5 slot. It's a shame Hellbound is only 2 or so minutes long. 4. Cowboys From Hell The standout songs are Cowboy's From Hell, Domination, and Cemetery Gates. This actually has some of my favorite Dimebag solos ever, Cowboy's From Hell probably being my favorite solo by him. 3. The Great Southern Trendkill Suicide note parts are both great. Drag the Waters, 13 Steps, War Nerve being my standout songs 2. Far Beyond Driven A masterpiece of an album, but I feel it lacks some of the qualities Vulgar display. The standout songs to me are Im Broken, 5 minutes alone, Hard Lines Sunken Cheeks. 1. Vulgar Display of Power My favorite album from them, it's vulgar and unapologetic, my standout songs are Walk, Mouth for War, This Love, Rise, A New Level, Fucking Hostile.
1.cowboys from hell. 2.driven 3.trendkill 4.vulgar 5.power metal 6.steel why cowboys is my number 1? read below. Cowboys is a super classy metal album, a golden metal statement from the 90s. this is to me the album where pantera showed to the world who they were. I remember listening this one for the first time in 1992 and blew my mind. darrell: his guitar playing is genius, showing all his trademark sounds and crazy harmonic abilities and also his trademark heavy distortion and amazing riffs. I mean , just listen to primal concrete sledge, is there a better way to start a metal song? that power chord at the begining sounds like a thunder. psico holiday solo is the shit! phil; his voice is raw and powerful with an amazing range. rex: bass is solid, almost perfect. vinnie: same as darrell, this album put vinnie on the map.
I mentioned My Pantera album ranking from Worst to Best is (I actually loved all of these albums) on BrycetalksMetal youtube channel : 9) Metal Magic (1983) 8) Power Metal (1988) 7) Reinventing the Steel (2000) 6) The Great Southern Trendkill (1996) 5) Projects in the Jungle (1984) 4) I I Am the Night (1985) 3) Cowboys from Hell (1990) 2) Far Beyond Driven (1994) 1) Vulgar Display of Power (1992)
Pantera was the soundtrack to my teens and early 20s. Nothing could have beat them in my opinion. Now that I’m older, I’m not big on the groove sound anymore. I’ll actually take the 80s albums over Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven nowadays.
Remember when I bought Trendkill as a teenager and was as very disappointed, the album was just weird, first song was good. But luckily I gave them a new chance with far beyond, and later vulgar. They are now my absolute favorite albums of all time.

The great southern trendkill is their hardest darkest and heaviest LP of all time and they styed true to themselves and heavy metal with that LP
Used to see Pantera at Texas clubs in the early eighties. They would do a set of their music then some covers, usually Metallica. People liked their own stuff but lost their mind watching “Diamond” play Metallica riffs. They had to notice and know where metal was going. I was surprised it didn’t happen after “Projects…”
I got into Pantera when I heard the Cowboys from Hell album, way back in high school when it was first released. A friend of mine had it playing on a boombox in the high school Cafeteria.. The opening riff to Cowboys from Hell was fucking mind blowing then and even to this fucking day! That being said, Vulgar Display of Power is my favorite Pantera album. My album rankings are a bit different. Here they are: 6. Power Metal 5. Far Beyond Driven 4. The Great Southern Trendkill 3. Reinventing the Steel 2.Cowbous from Hell and #1: Vulgar Display of Power. I'm sorry but Far Beyond Driven is ok. Yeah I'm broken, 5 Minutes alone and Becoming are great songs and my 3 favorites off the album, but the rest doesn't do it for me. Plus, I think that's when Phil started doing heroin so lyrically I don't think he shined. With that being said, Pantera hasn't put out a terrible album. Just my opinion.
9. I Am The Night 8. Metal Magic 7. Projects in the Jungle 6. Power Metal 5. Cowboys From Hell 4. The Great Southern Trendkill 3. Reinventing the Steel (Terry Date Mix) 2. Vulgar Display of Power (Would've been 1, but I never liked No Good(Attack the Radical)) 1. Far Beyond Driven
Edit 2022: my feelings on most of the Glam albums have changed recently. Here’s my re-ranking. 1. Cowboys From Hell (5/5) 2. Power Metal (4.5/5) 3. Far Beyond Driven (4/5) 4. Vulgar Display of Power (4/5) 5. The Great Southern Trendkill (4/5) 6. I Am The Night (4/5) 7. Projects In The Jungle (3.5/5) 8. Reinventing The Steel (2/5) 9. Metal Magic (1/5)
1: Cowboys from hell 2: Vulgar display of power 3: Far beyond driven 4: Power metal 5: Trenkill 6: Reinventing the steel All these 6 are close IMO and I love power metal so much as it reminds me of Judas Priest I also like the OG 3 as well
5. Reinventing the steel. 4.Cowboys from hell. 3. Far beyond driven. 2.The great southern trendkill 1. Vulgar display of power. Such a difficult choice which way round 2 and 1 should be, so close to putting TGST at 1 but VDOP just takes it, all the classics are on there Walk, Mouth for war, a new level, this love, rise, fucking hostile , hollow….. so I had to go with it but trendkill is a masterpiece as well( as are all pantera albums), i love this album as it’s so heavy in parts then songs like 10s and Suicide note part 1 are just really soulful deep songs…..drag the waters is one of my fav pantera songs ever, suicide note pt 2 is an assault on the senses, war nerve and sandblasted skin are such crunching riffs…… but vulgar speaks for itself….RIP Dimebag and Vinnie x
1. Far Beyond Driven 2. The Great Southern Trendkill 3. Vulgar Display of Power 4. Cowboys from Hell 5. Reinventing the Steel. All are amazing though. I really should give another listen to Power Metal though.
Pantera, one of my favorite fucking bands of all time. I love all their 90’s/early 00’s output. My ranking would be, 1: Far Beyond Driven 10/10 2: The Great Southern Trendkill 10/10 3: Cowboys From Hell 9/10 4: Vulgar Display of Power 9/10 (I like their later output a lot better) 5: Reinventing the Steel 8.5/10 6: Everything else
1. Great southern trendkill 2. Vulgar display of power 3. Far beyond driven 4. Cowboys from hell 5. Reinventing the steel I haven’t listened to their their 80’s stuff so I wouldn’t know
9-Reinventing the steel 8-Far beyond driven 7-The great southern trendkill 6-Metal magic 5-Projects in the jungle 4-Cowboys from hell 3-Vulgar display of power 2-Power metal 1-I am the night
My ranking of their groove metal albums would be this: 1. Vulgar display of power 2. Cowboys from hell 3. Far beyond driven 4. The great southern trendkill 5. Reinventing the steel
The Great Southern Trendkill is actually my favourite Pantera album, it's just so dark, heavy yet some beutiful songs like Floods. 1. TGST 2. FBD 3. VDOP 4. CFH 5. RTS the rest i dunno...
To be realistic, the sound evolved over time - Projects In The Jungle had the title track as a turning point - but once Phil came in behind the mic, that's where it changed to what we know.
9. I am the knight 8. Metal magic 7.projects in the jungle 6. Power Metal 5. Great Southern Trendkill 4. Reinventing the steel 3. Cowboys from hell 2.Far beyond driven 1. Vulgar display of power
6 Power Metal 5 Reinventing the steel 4 Far beyond Driven 3 The Great Southern Trendkill 2 Cowboys from Hell 1 Vulgar Display of Power 4 and 3 are close; and 2 and 1 moreso-I could foreseeably swap them on the right day lol. It seems I like TGSK better than most peeps I kno. It’s just preference... i’d admit it’s less consistent than FBD; but the strongest ~1/2 is sooo great, including two incredible ballads and (oxymoron or not) a veritably perfect solo in 10s. ❤️ JMO. R.I.P. Dime & Vinnie
GS Trendkill grew much more on me than Driven did, even though FBD is amazing. Cowboys is great but I don't dig the Rob Halford screams.When it comes to speak about VDOP, that shit is so perfect, that created a subgenre called Groove Metal and tons of bands started to play like that. That's what I think Vulgar is #1. Vulgar TGSTrendkill RTSteel CFH FBD The rest.
* I haven't heard any of their 4 early albums*
5 - Cowboys From Hell
4 - Reinventing The Steel

Those sucks bad..Glam albums
The first 4 were pretty good (Accept the debute)
@@demonizer8739 but the vocals suck in my opinion
The last Glam album is an amazing album
Agree with your last except reinventings should be number 2/3 at least
Agree. That breakdown in Domination is sick. And it's even better on the live CD 101 Proof
Even better than that is Live in Moscow '91
The Moscow Performance of Domination is fucking killer 🤘💪💪
Domination live in moscow is THE best version of domination
Right, I still prefer the full cut of Domination, but that Dom/Hollow medley they do on 101 Proof is awesome in its own way.
You could also argue live in Los Angeles 92 remastered. That version of Domination is so good. If you are not aware of this concert video you're welcome
My ranking:
1. Far beyond driven
2. Cowboys from hell
3. The great southern trendkill
4. Vulgar display of power
5. Reinventing the steel
All perfect albums to me tho any of them could be my number one really. Great vid and ranking by the way oldhead. 🤘
Thanks! 🤘🏻
@Awc dude, you left out glamtera; at least it wasn't influential like the '90s crap. They became a band with good leads, drums, but awful groove riffs/shit songs. This band were detrimental to metal, but fortunately, it started to recover in the 2000s.
1. Cowboys - essentially, an '80s album
2. Power Metal
That's it!
I agree
I have such a problem with vulgar vs FBD, they are both so good,
How dare you place Vulgar so low
Trendkill is one of those albums that you warm up to a few years later. But yeah, Far Beyond is the shit. Met Pantera in 94 in support of this album. Good times ....from what I remember 🤘🏻
5. Reinventing The Steel
4. The Great Southern Trendkill
3. Cowboys From Hell
2. Far Beyond Driven
1. Vulgar Display Of Power
I'm very surprised that TGST is not higher on most lists. I never thought about a Pantera rank that much but I'm not afraid to say that to this day, TGST is my favorite with CFH as a close second. Imo, TGST has the best production, not too much not too least. Dime's guitar never sounded as great, his riffs are very groovy and this album has two of his best solos: Floods and 10s. The intro of 13 Steps is perfection just like the acoustic guitar on Suicide Note. And last but not least, Phil's lyrics are so dark man, soo deep. This is a very ominous and raw record, I adore it.
1. The Great Southern Trendkill
2. Cowboys From Hell
3. Vulgar Display Of Power
4. Far Beyond Driven
5. Power Metal
6. Reinventing The Steel
I have a nostalgic connection to Great Southern Trendkill. Some dickhead at school jumped me and ended up kneecapping me and leaving me there... Over the course of that summer I listened to a shit load of Pantera at the gym doing physiotherapy and getting back on my feet!
My ranking is going to be all over the place but it's all a matter of personal preference anyways so here it is:
(I didn't listen to the first three albums enough to give any kind of review so I'll just skip them.)
6. Power Metal - For it's time it's a good album. I can't really say that I'm a fan of the 80's sound but the guitar solo on We'll Meet Again is one of the best solos I've ever heard in my life, seriously, it's beautiful. I understand why Philip eventually moved away from this vocal style but I'm glad he has this in his repertoire. It's insane to me that this is the same guy that would latter deliver the vocal performance in a track like Slaughtered. He's insane and I mean that as a compliment.
5. Far Beyond Driven - Just because it's this low on the list doesn't mean that I don't love it or that I don't think it's a good album - it's a fantastic album but I love the other 4 more, so here it is. For some reason I never got hooked on 5 Minutes Alone but I absolutely love I'm Broken and think it's the strongest song on the album. It's blasphemous to say this but their cover of Planet Caravan is better than the original and it's placing on the album is just perfect, after you get smacked around by the intensity and heaviness of the album you listen to Planet Caravan and it feels like catharsis.
4. Reinventing the Steel - I don't understand why people seem to dislike this one so much. Pantera ended their career on a high note and putting I'll Cast a Shadow as the last song of the last album.... there's just something so poetic about that, they really did cast a large shadow over the metal world after they left. Me writing this 20 years after the release of RTS, and I was only 3 years old back then, is proof of that. The riff in Revolution Is My Name is insane and the first time I heard that song I instantly thought of Black Sabbath.
3. Cowboys From Hell - Oh, I love this one. This was the first album of theirs I ever listened to and the reason I fell in love with them. I know this was Pantera just getting started and I know it's still in part reminiscent of the 80's, but they took the best of the 80's and put it in there while at the same time foreshadowing what they were going to do later on in their career. Cemetery Gates is a timeless classic, you can't change my mind on that.
2. Vulgar Display of Power - This is the ultimate Pantera album, the one they will be remembered for, the one every metalhead, be they fans of Pantera or not, must know. There's nothing more for me to say about it. This Love is one of the greatest metal ballads ever written.
1. The Great Southern Trendkill - This is probably the most divisive Pantera album as I've seen people either say they absolutely love it or they just never got into it. I'm in the first group. I don't necessarily think it's their best but it's my personal favorite. This is the darkest, grimmest, rawest, most emotional material they ever put out there. I can't imagine the reaction of people who first got this back in '96 when they heard that 10 seconds long scream on the opening track. Floods is a masterpiece. 10's is so vulnerable you can clearly hear Phil Anselmo was going through personal hell. And then there's Suicide Note Pt II, the first time I heard it I thought it was horrendous but then it creeps up on you and gets under your skin. That is the angriest, most emotional song about depression I've ever heard, now it's one of my favorite Pantera songs. I also love how this album was basically a middle finger to the mainstream scene at the time and there isn't a single song on it that could be played on the radio.
Sorry for making this 5 miles long. If you got to this point I just wanna say I'm jealous of your glorious hair.
Haha thanks! Yes, I read the whole thing. Great list! Thanks for watching!
NAILED IT.
I have Far Beyond..at one
But brother I loved your reviews of each album.
You should do some reviews of albums..
I would read them..
Stay Metal..
Plus drag the waters is so intense and powerful as well as sandblasted skin and the underground in America
I almost fainted when I saw where you placed Trendkill. Always my favorite
My ranking
5.reinventing the steel
4.far beyond driven
3.vulgar display of power
2.the great southern trendkill
1.cowboys from hell
Hell yeah man im from texas also🤘
Lol mine is literally the other way around
What’s crazy is I’d have to say southern trendkill is their best album
That one's my favorite
Agree
I’m with you bro
Definitely my favorite, good fall bro
100 percent agree
Greatest metal band of all time.
I still have never heard a drum sound like Vinnie.. And Dime ( don't get me started )..
Horns up to you my man..
Trendkill is my fav album but I'm stoked to hear that someone else's favourite song is Slaughtered! 🤘
7-Everything before Power Metal
6-Power Metal
5-Reinventing The Steel
4-Vulgar Display Of Power
3-Cowboys From Hell
2-The Great Southern Trendkill
1-Far Beyond Driven
Everything after CFH is amazing, Pantera is my all time fav band(with Metallica)
Pantera is in a tie with Faith No More, Primus, Dir en Grey and Mr Bungle for my all time favorite band.
I really like you ratings! I really appreciate that you have Trendkill on second position!
I know it's verry agressive and extreme but it is a killer album and verry overlooked! Like how could you not like Title Track,Floods,The Underground in America,Living Through Me (Hells Wrath) or Drag the Waters?
Slaughtered is also my favorite pantera song
Great raking and video, man! 120% agree! nothing beats Far Beyond Driven. My 1st PanterA album and also drives me nuts to this day after 25 years!
Some people just don’t understand trendkill!!! Except maybe the guy in the comments here ranking it #1. For me I enjoy all of the albums in different ways and ranking pantera is just to hard. Except power metal,I’d have no problem putting that #6. Yes its cool to see the rawness and the skills but the band just hadn’t found themselves yet. Glad you also appreciate yesterday don’t mean shit! That’s highly underrated!!!
I do,and Trendkill is no.2 for me
I would probably put trendkill at #2 And cowboys from hell at #1
For me it's number 1
Youre right about Yesterday dont mean shit being underrated (so is the whole album i think) but Phil and the illegals actually playing that song live as the only one from that album.. I Think its a shame they dont play uplift - love that song!
It took me forever to get Trendkill. Now it’s my favorite. I think some people don’t allow themselves enough time to get it.
I have projects in the jungle and I am the night as a split CD and got it way back in 2005 and I actually like them. But when it comes to my favorite pantera album it's the great southern trendkill. I think for me it just grew more on me over time. Great video as always man.
Thanks!

Why about the fist three albums?
Totally agree with your number one. Not just because that tour was the first time I saw them or that I got to meet Dimebag before the shows but because it fucking rocks. Slaughtered is my favorite all time Pantera song. Love all your ranking videos. Binge watching them today.
Thanks for watching!

Largely agree. And yes, Slaughtered is in my top 3. Vinnie’s playing is just so dynamic, Dimebags riff from 2:43 is sooo freakin’ awesome. I saw them live in 1994, one of my most memorable concerts. They had so much energy and played tighter than (put in something obscene here).
Yeah, they came though here in ‘94 and I missed it. One of my big concert regrets.
I agree with you on "Slaughtered" and the "Domination" break down 100%
Trendkill is my fav album. The heaviest for me. Brutal stuff
Vulgar and Far Beyond Driven also came out when I was still in college and I was blown away by these albums. Before Vulgar (and the Black Album) I only listened to Whitesnake, Def Leppard and mostly hair metal bands but Pantera introduced me to a heavier type of music. I still love my hair bands to this day but also heavier stuff too.
I was still buying cassettes in 1994, and not only did I get Far Beyond Driven on cassette, but that was my introduction to Pantera; I had never heard anything they did prior to it. Now I have everything except for the four pre CFH releases on cd. I still buy cds in 2020. I don't know how I would rank them, but Trendkill is the one that has grown on me as the years went by.
My ranking:
1. Cowboys from Hell
2. Vulgar Display of Power
3. The Great Southern Trendkill
4. Reinventing the Steel
5. Far Beyond Driven
6. Everything before Cowboys.
If Cowboys From Hell is your favorite i strongly recommend Power Metal.
I freel all Pantera’s albums are equally killer starting at cowboys from hell to The Great Southern Trendkill! That album kills it times 20! I need to get Phil and the boys very first album together! Far beyond driven was so anticipated and holy crap it delivered! I still love the everlasting crap out of everything they did! Those four guys were so perfect together that they easily left the pack behind. They’re chemistry was always that great!
Ah, an aristocrat ey?
Pretty much my feelings, though I'd probably put Trendkill above Power Metal and Reinventing above Cowboys. Poor Rex. Nary a mention, as per usual. I dig Phil, and all of the stuff he's done. He's one talented fella.
Nice list man! I havnet really listened to there 80s stuff but im definitely into there 90s stuff. Heres my ranking
5. The great southern trendkill
4. Reinventing the steel
3. Far beyond driven
2. Vulgar display of power
1. Cowboys from hell
Dude, I'm with you on Slaughtered! 100%
Cowboys is my nostalgic favorite, as it was the first album to really introduce me to them, and Reinventing will always stick out in my mind because it had the first Pantera song I learned to play from beginning to end, solos and all (Revolution). BUT, I must say my friend, I agree with your ranking, with Far Beyond and Vulgar going either way, depending on what I'm really in the mood for being the only thing to rerank them on any given day which is a really poor way to determine objectivity, lol. Therefore, I couldn't agree more. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching!
PANTERA by far kicks everyones ass in the metal world been a fan since Cowboys always made it a point to see them live in Michigan they never disappointed me ever 🤘🏻
I love both Glamtera and PANTERA. It was evident from the start, they were a solid act, they were just young so it shows in their early records but they achieved a lot fast once they chose their direction. Dime was an amazing player ever since the 1st record and all the old fanzines would mention this. What's unique about PANTERA is they went from Glam/Hard Rock to defining Groove Metal (and somewhat metal core?) and dominating the 90's, like usually bands get less heavy. One of the greatest Metal bands for sure, shame things ended the way they did...
FBD is a beast...one of those albums u can never get bored of. i got it day it came out...i was 17....still luv it.
wow your ranking really matches mine. Yesterday don’t mean shit is totally underrated and slaughtered is their heaviest song and my favorite just as yours
Hey man you just got yourself a new subscriber and now I'm binge watching all your ranking videos. By the way, fucking awesome beard! I bet that if you ever went to a movie audition for the role of a wizard, they would give you the part as soon as you show up 😂
Haha maybe. I think there are more wizardly beards out there though. Thanks for watching!
I skipped school to buy Far Beyond Driven my favorite from them I saw them a dozen times form 92 when they opened for Skid Row to 2000 they kept the metal flag flying in the 90s the best era for music
Unpopular opinion, but "Reinventing the Steel" is my favorite Pantera album and "Far Beyond Driven" is my 5th favorite. Deal with it! It's goddamn electric!!!!
Southern Trendkill is really sick. I’m not sure if it’s heavier than far beyond driven, but they are both boundary pushing and extreme in their own way. Sick sick band all their major label debuts are amazing and important records in metal history. Pantera is heard in almost every band that came after.

It’s great to hear other peoples opinions!
Projects in the jungle will always be my favorite album by them !
I 100% agree with you on this one, mate!
I knew if I watched enough of these we'd disagree! Once again I really find zero fault in your explanations or reasoning, just for me I think Great Southern Trendkill is just one of those all-time albums, and is the Pantera album I always reach for first. I mean the solo for Floods alone, OMG.
Power Metal is an awesome album. It's a shame that the band and fans distanced themselves from it. Very underrated.

1. Far Beyond Driven
I remember the first time I heard Suicide Note Pt1 on a plane to my highschool German trip, decided to listen to the “scary” stuff as a fifteen year old. I remember I kept going back and listening to the intro time and time again on my iPod nano. It was at that point I decided Pantera was in my all time favorite bands list.
Spot on
Whenever I say your top three albums are the best on social media or whatever I get swamped with people saying NO there Not, Reinventing the steel is the best album, the band even said SO. Which made this very interesting and enjoyable to watch.
I have the same top three i meant.
THE TREND IS DEEEEAADDD!!!!!!
As long as Far Beyond Driven and Vulgar Dusplays are top 2 the list is legitimate! I personally think you undersold Great Southern Trendkill. I used to think that was the weakest album (and it might be), but upon a relisten i was surprised that i didnt skip a song and i was jammign the entire goddamn time.
In my opinion "Far Beyond Driven" is their best album, unbeliavable record.
9:42 the name and the album cover says it all! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nothing can top Vulgar Display except Far Beyond Driven. Great video.
i love the great southern trendkill.... funny how you mention War Nerve. i have a band named after that song.
Yeah, I'm the reverse in that I think their desire to be heavier undermined the more interesting melodic stuff from Vulgar. I'm less of a fan on some of the weaker tracks like Throes of Rejection,& Use My Third Arm,& if We skip over Good Friends,..its a bit shorter listen. Phil wrote Broken( which is one of the best Tracks on the LP) because of his bad back,& him self medicating,...I think a bit of that shows on the creative side. Thanks 4 Doing This.
Man...did we just become best friends? Rock solid commentary.
Haha. Thanks! 🤘🏻
My Pantera ranking:
7-9: The 3 Terry Glaze albums. I always viewed these as more of a Judas Priest(Defenders/Painkiller meets VH(Romeo Delight vibe), mixed with all their other influences.
Truth be told, if their father wasn't who he was, and they didn't have access to the equipment and studio and such, these would have been demos. They were kids developing their style, imo.
6: Power Metal: The bridge from the first 3 to what they became. A higher quality than their 1st 3. But with Phil, this was still like borderline their polished demos with Phil's influence.
5. Reinventing the Steel. Several standouts. I like that they cut back on the total track listing, in an era when everyone was stuffing CD's with 12-14 tunes.
I may like the remix/remaster sound better. Plus the disc compiling all those great soundtrack cuts was fantastic.
4. Cowboys. Half of the tunes would be worthy of the top spot(Domination.......fuuuuuuck), but half diminish it a bit(a bit, this is a solid album with some spectacular parts).
Top 3 are very difficult to rank, kind of 1a,1b and 1c
3. Vulgar Display. First half and last couple of songs great. Nothing wrong with beginning of side 2, but the track listing was kinda dumb, cuz those couple of tracks were soo similar in tempo and vibe. Better track listing prolly makes this an A+.
2. Far Beyond Driven. To have a deep track like Shedding Skin, 25 years, Hard Lines.....daym, as well as 'hits' like becoming, 5 minutes and I'm broken' like
1). Trendkill. Drier sounding, less stuff to make mtv or rock radio at the time. But also deeper, more serious/less cock-rockish.
I'm splitting hairs here.
Great work man. Couldn't agree more about Slaughter!!!! Great Thrashy song
My ranking (best song on the album):
9-6. Everything before Cowboys
5. Reinventing the Steel (Revolution is My Name)
4. Vulgar Display of Power (Mouth for War)
3. Cowboys from Hell (The Sleep)
2. Far Beyond Driven (5 Minutes Alone)
1. The Great Southern Trendkill (10's)
Your list is the correct list. Well done sir.
That scream and thrash to open the album on the title track gets me fired up, sets the tone.
Yes I have the exact same list lol
9. Power metal 7/10
8. Projects in the jungle 7/10
7. I am the night 7.5/10
6. Power metal 8/10
5. Reinventing the Steel 10/10
4. Far beyond driven 10/10
3. Cowboys From hell 10/10
2. The great southern Trendkill 10/10
1. Vulgar display of power( my favorite album of all time)
fuck yeah SLAUGHTERED
I agree on far beyond driven being number one that album was pure 100% full steam ahead
My own ranking (as a preface, at a base line, even the lowest album is at least a 7.5/10, which in my book is above average. I'll also only list the one's I've fully listened to)
5. Reinventing the Steel
-This album is actually way better than people give it credit for. It's only #5 because I have to have a #5 slot. It's a shame Hellbound is only 2 or so minutes long.
4. Cowboys From Hell
The standout songs are Cowboy's From Hell, Domination, and Cemetery Gates. This actually has some of my favorite Dimebag solos ever, Cowboy's From Hell probably being my favorite solo by him.
3. The Great Southern Trendkill
Suicide note parts are both great. Drag the Waters, 13 Steps, War Nerve being my standout songs
2. Far Beyond Driven
A masterpiece of an album, but I feel it lacks some of the qualities Vulgar display. The standout songs to me are Im Broken, 5 minutes alone, Hard Lines Sunken Cheeks.
1. Vulgar Display of Power
My favorite album from them, it's vulgar and unapologetic, my standout songs are Walk, Mouth for War, This Love, Rise, A New Level, Fucking Hostile.
I’d just like to add that I *really* like TGST album art
Reinventing the steel is super underrated, there's some heavy shit on there: i'll cast a shadow, hellbound, it makes them disappear. damn heavy.
Vulgar and cowboys are my two go to albums, got the rest apart from the first four albums.
1.cowboys from hell.
2.driven
3.trendkill
4.vulgar
5.power metal
6.steel
why cowboys is my number 1? read below.
Cowboys is a super classy metal album, a golden metal statement from the 90s.
this is to me the album where pantera showed to the world who they were. I remember listening
this one for the first time in 1992 and blew my mind.
darrell: his guitar playing is genius, showing all his trademark sounds and crazy harmonic abilities
and also his trademark heavy distortion and amazing riffs.
I mean , just listen to primal concrete sledge, is there a better way to start a metal song? that power chord
at the begining sounds like a thunder.
psico holiday solo is the shit!
phil; his voice is raw and powerful with an amazing range.
rex: bass is solid, almost perfect.
vinnie: same as darrell, this album put vinnie on the map.
I mentioned My Pantera album ranking from Worst to Best is (I actually loved all of these albums) on BrycetalksMetal youtube channel :
9) Metal Magic (1983)
8) Power Metal (1988)
7) Reinventing the Steel (2000)
6) The Great Southern Trendkill (1996)
5) Projects in the Jungle (1984)
4) I I Am the Night (1985)
3) Cowboys from Hell (1990)
2) Far Beyond Driven (1994)
1) Vulgar Display of Power (1992)
Pantera was the soundtrack to my teens and early 20s. Nothing could have beat them in my opinion. Now that I’m older, I’m not big on the groove sound anymore. I’ll actually take the 80s albums over Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven nowadays.
Remember when I bought Trendkill as a teenager and was as very disappointed, the album was just weird, first song was good.
But luckily I gave them a new chance with far beyond, and later vulgar. They are now my absolute favorite albums of all time.
The great southern trendkill is their hardest darkest and heaviest LP of all time and they styed true to themselves and heavy metal with that LP
He has the original fbd album cover in the back nice
Used to see Pantera at Texas clubs in the early eighties. They would do a set of their music then some covers, usually Metallica. People liked their own stuff but lost their mind watching “Diamond” play Metallica riffs. They had to notice and know where metal was going. I was surprised it didn’t happen after “Projects…”
I got into Pantera when I heard the Cowboys from Hell album, way back in high school when it was first released. A friend of mine had it playing on a boombox in the high school Cafeteria.. The opening riff to Cowboys from Hell was fucking mind blowing then and even to this fucking day! That being said, Vulgar Display of Power is my favorite Pantera album. My album rankings are a bit different. Here they are: 6. Power Metal 5. Far Beyond Driven 4. The Great Southern Trendkill 3. Reinventing the Steel 2.Cowbous from Hell and #1: Vulgar Display of Power. I'm sorry but Far Beyond Driven is ok. Yeah I'm broken, 5 Minutes alone and Becoming are great songs and my 3 favorites off the album, but the rest doesn't do it for me. Plus, I think that's when Phil started doing heroin so lyrically I don't think he shined. With that being said, Pantera hasn't put out a terrible album. Just my opinion.
Great southern trendkill is highly underrated
For real. So much diversity and it’s so awesome. My favorite album from them and probably a top 10 all time

@@briskthegreasercowboydude9382 honestly, i can agree with that now. I’ve been meaning to re-do this ranking
1: Cowboys from hell
2: Vulgar display of power
3: Far beyond driven
4: Power metal
5: Trenkill
6: Reinventing the steel
All these 6 are close IMO and I love power metal so much as it reminds me of Judas Priest I also like the OG 3 as well
5. Reinventing the steel.
4.Cowboys from hell.
3. Far beyond driven.
2.The great southern trendkill
1. Vulgar display of power.
Such a difficult choice which way round 2 and 1 should be, so close to putting TGST at 1 but VDOP just takes it, all the classics are on there Walk, Mouth for war, a new level, this love, rise, fucking hostile , hollow….. so I had to go with it but trendkill is a masterpiece as well( as are all pantera albums), i love this album as it’s so heavy in parts then songs like 10s and Suicide note part 1 are just really soulful deep songs…..drag the waters is one of my fav pantera songs ever, suicide note pt 2 is an assault on the senses, war nerve and sandblasted skin are such crunching riffs…… but vulgar speaks for itself….RIP Dimebag and Vinnie x
1. Far Beyond Driven
2. The Great Southern Trendkill
3. Vulgar Display of Power
4. Cowboys from Hell
5. Reinventing the Steel.
All are amazing though. I really should give another listen to Power Metal though.
Pantera, one of my favorite fucking bands of all time. I love all their 90’s/early 00’s output. My ranking would be,
1: Far Beyond Driven 10/10
2: The Great Southern Trendkill 10/10
3: Cowboys From Hell 9/10
4: Vulgar Display of Power 9/10 (I like their later output a lot better)
5: Reinventing the Steel 8.5/10
6: Everything else
Agree with the list but you should go back and listen to trendkill and reinventing again they've gotten hooked in me like the other three now. So good
Damn we have the exact same favorent on all your rank em all

The Great Southern Trendkill is actually my favourite Pantera album, it's just so dark, heavy yet some beutiful songs like Floods. 1. TGST 2. FBD 3. VDOP 4. CFH 5. RTS the rest i dunno...
To be realistic, the sound evolved over time - Projects In The Jungle had the title track as a turning point - but once Phil came in behind the mic, that's where it changed to what we know.

4 and 3 are close; and 2 and 1 moreso-I could foreseeably swap them on the right day lol.
It seems I like TGSK better than most peeps I kno. It’s just preference... i’d admit it’s less consistent than FBD; but the strongest ~1/2 is sooo great, including two incredible ballads and (oxymoron or not) a veritably perfect solo in 10s. ❤️ JMO.
R.I.P. Dime & Vinnie
GS Trendkill grew much more on me than Driven did, even though FBD is amazing. Cowboys is great but I don't dig the Rob Halford screams.When it comes to speak about VDOP, that shit is so perfect, that created a subgenre called Groove Metal and tons of bands started to play like that. That's what I think Vulgar is #1.
Vulgar
