Amazing riffs, great vocals from newcomer Phil Anselmo. Such a breakthrough for the band, they entirely swapped around from their attempts at glam metal straight to creating an album that defined a new subgenre of metal, and put Pantera on the map. Favorite songs would have to be Psycho Holiday, Cowboys From Hell, Primal Concrete Sledge, Cemetery Gates, Domination, and The Art of Shredding. One of my favorite albums of all time, and generational in the metal scene
Really good album, the synths are fun, real trippy album. Just a fun listen and a must hear album
One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Night of the Living Baseheads spoke out about the drug epidemic, multiple songs such as Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos and Louder Than a Bomb speaking out against the government. Great messages paired with amazing beats and samples. An absolute classic of hip hop
One of my personal favorite albums of all time. The synths really match well with the beats, and the rhyme schemes are great. Sampling was on point all throughout, with standout samples like Let Me Ride. Really impressive overall, especially considering this is right after his splitting from NWA, so this whole album was mixed and produced by him, along with his own rhymes and heavy features with Snoop Dogg.
The whole album felt like it was just trying so hard to be edgy and the music really suffered from the lyrics being literally insane. I suppose he had to match the energy of the MV that really started his career, but this album just wasn't it. However, this album still has some highs, mostly being Yonkers and She. But the lows of this album are, in my opinion, some of the lowest in his career, such as BSD and Transylvania.
