Pantera - Far Beyond Driven

Groove metal.  Thrash Metal.  Heavy Metal.  I’m not sure exactly what you call it, but it’s definitely hard music.  It’s not a million miles from Metallica if you’re looking for a comparison, probably with a few more “Cookie Monster” vocals than James Hetfield uses. 

Having never listened to Pantera before, I listened to a couple of the albums preceding this one (Cowboys from Hell and Vulgar Display of Power) and I enjoyed them both more than I enjoyed this one.  It feels like they were slowly getting harder in their sound, and less melodic, as their career progressed.  I think they are going for a full-on assault on Far Beyond Driven and they were certainly successful.
