The hidden 11th Commandment states: Thou shalt never skip or cutoff a Dimebag solo for any reason. Awesome reaction by the way, heck of a first Pantera album to react to.

One of my absolute favourite metal albums of all time. You should definitely try out Far Beyond Driven at some point. Probably one of the heaviest albums ever recorded. full on front to back.

Hollow is an underrated gem on this one.

This album is perfect imo, always loved it. Not a bad song.

My fav Pantera album. IMO it’s their best work. Rest in peace Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell

Loved this album and Cowboys From Hell when my sister introduced them to me when I was 10 y/o, back in the day it was super heavy to me but fun and full of energy. Been watching your reactions and you're really genuine, nice seeing someone open minded about music.

Please do Far Beyond Driven or Great Southern Trendkill next, those are my two favorite Pantera albums.

glad that you loved this album. a shame someone took Dimebag away and we never go to hear what kind of music he would continue to play. the singer Phil is now clean and sober and worth checking out in interviews. he's a real character with a wacky sense of humor.

I'm so psyched you're checking out Pantera! I hope you eventually check out their other albums. My personal fav is The Great Southern Trendkill. They're all great though, absolute God-tier metal band

No one will ever be prepared for what unfolds when they listen to this beast for the first time.

It's not just good, its reliable. Whenever you return to it, it will be just as great every time. All of the albums with Phil are equally reliable.

Molly...your expression as you react to the aggressive tunes is always the best, you feel exactly the same as I do when I hear them! AKA.."OH YES...More of this!" lol. another fantastic upload, looking forward to the next already!

Molly, your reactions are the only ones worth watching on KZfaq. Can't stand any other reaction channel except yours. You are knowledgeable and genuine. Been following for a while now. Cheers from Italy.

You're one of the best music reactors!

"Ive never heard anything from pantera before" Oh girl youre in for a ride

Vinnie Paul’s drumming on This Love is the secret weapon of this album. I hear new aspects of the drums and song construction every time I listen to that track.

I'm so happy you finally got into this band. They were an insane group to see live back in the 90s.

Is this her first Pantera experience? Fuckin' awesome. You rock, Molly!! 🤘🤘

Sweet! 🤘🏼 Vulgar Display of Power was the second Pantera album I bought. The first one being Far Beyond Driven. My favorite tracks from Vulgar are This Love and A New Level 🖤

Every time I watch The Exorcist and Father Karras asks Reagan/The Devil to open the drawer and use her power and she says, "That would be too vulgar a display of power" I'm certain that is where the album title was inspired. I can't wait for you to dip into albums by Prong and Testament.

Trendkill is my favorite album by them, pure rage and so dark.

Once anyone goes down the Pantera rabbit hole, the musical palette changes to crave even more stank face inducing power groove. The next step for me was Meshuggah's Destroy Erase Improve.

Definitely need to listen to Cowboys From Hell, Pantera's first commercial album success. A lot of great tracks on it. Also, next time you dabble in grunge, please give Temple of a Dog a listen. That band and album are stellar, and you will not be disappointed.

Never thought I'd hear someone compare Pantera to Nirvana but I get it. The clean part of This Love does remind me of Come As You Are. That's why I appreciate your videos, they're a fresh perspective on albums I love! Keep it up

Even though this is technically their sixth album, basically everybody and even Pantera themselves consider Cowboys From Hell to be their first album and Vulgar Display to be their second.

Fantastic reaction, Molly. You're just amazing! And yes, I would argue that Pantera's style partly gave rise to Numetal and that the subgenre took a lot from Pantera.

The guitar effect you're hearing in Live In a Hole is called the "Talk Box". It's a tube next to the mic that you have to talk into while playing the guitar at the same time. Made famous by Peter Framton but many artists have used it over the years

I like the last 2 Albums more but i do feel this one and Cowboys From Hell are a great introduction to the band.

So glad you reacted to Pantera. One of the most important bands in metal. They kept metal going through the 90s when grunge and alt rock dominated. RiP Dimebag and Vinnie Paul. Cowboys From Hell and Far Beyond Driven are great albums too. Pantera's is called groove metal. It is not as thrash sounding as band like Overkill, Kreator, and Slayer. Or even 80s Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. If you have not done Anthrax then Among the Living is a must. One of the best thrash metal albums of all time.

Good reaction!! I'm excited to see more pantera on this channel.

This album is top tier! They released this at the same time as metallicas black album so I can also see the similarities between the two. Love your reaction! You should check out the debut album! Cowboys from hell!

Their entire discography is worth checking out. The great southern trendkill is my personal favorite for how raw it is

My favorite pantera album hands down and one of my top 10 favorite metal albums of all time.

Very brutal and violent grooves from Pantera without losing that cool fun Texas boys factor. 🤘🏽

I wasn't ready for you to listen to this! Definitely check out "The Great Southern Trendkill" by them, too!

This is nice, Molly. Unexpected! Putting in my request for the metal band "Slaughter To Prevail." Think you would be pretty jazzed by their stuff. 👍💯 Edit: And as a little bonus, Alex Terrible the lead singer of Slaughter to Prevail comments on a lot of reactors channels when they listen to his stuff. Cool dude. 👍

The early 90s had some of the slickest album production, this and Metallica's Black Album both stand out

this album is proof why dimebag is one of the best guitarists of all time, and yes pantera only uses 1 guitar and 1 bass kinda nuts

Far Beyond Driven should be the next Pantera Album. You'll see the shift from thrash/punk into new genre where Pantera were now the ones defining metal. Most bands devolved into softer, commercial, pop sounds, while Pantera uniquely got more and more heavier.

So glad you liked it! I second “Far Beyond Driven” to listen to next, “Great Southern Trendkill” is awesome too, and then, if you compare those to their first commercial record (“Cowboys from Hell”) when Phil was still doing operatic singing, and ESPECIALLY the glam metal stuff before that (which they’re embarrassed about), you will be blown away.

I remember buying the tape when it had just come out when I was pretty young. I popped it into the family car cassette deck while waiting for my parents to finish shopping. Even though I was already well versed in the likes of Anthrax and Metallica by that point, Vulgar Display of Power still managed to blow my mind. I have remained immersed in music - especially metal - all of my life, but haven’t had many other experiences listening to something new like I did that afternoon.

Great video! Hope you consider checking out more pantera. The Great Southern Trendkill is definitely a good one to check out

Fantastic band, fantastic album, I remember the hilarious stories from various band members on how they got the picture for the album cover...Vulgar Display of Power, Far Beyond Driven, and The Great Southern Trendkill are all solid albums

Yay Molly!!!! 🤘

LETS GO! Great choice.

FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING HOSTIIILLEEEEEEE!!!!*mic breaks* R.I.P. The Abbot Brothers, the Van Halen brothers of the 90s!

As badass as the first half of this record is, the second half is ridiculous! Loved this Molly!

The reason for my having liked this album was because of Walk, since it was used as the theme song (well that and a cover version if it by a band named Kilgore) for former ECW wrestler Rob Van Dam. And it has a very easy and chantable chorus as well that doesn't hurt. But A New Level, Hollow, and This Love are awesome as well. I only slightly prefer Cowboys From Hell over this one, but this album is epic as well. Great reaction, Molly, love your candid expressions and mannerisms lol.

Absolute amazing biggest punch in the face in history of metal !!!! This album change history of whole generation X!!!Nothing was never same,Vince Paul,Rex,Phil Anselmo and Dimebag Darrell record music like no one before

Love your expressions!!..hear this album the first time it came out was crazy!..it is a masterpiece!!..even the “aquestic” parts!..😂❤🤘🔥😈😈😈

I love the tone of Dimebag's guitar, to me it's really "metallic" sounding. Almost has an industrial metal quality to it

The Great Southern Trendkill is crazy intense and bizarre. I'd give that one a listen next!

I love seeing ppl that aren’t metal heads can appreciate the music.

There will never be another Pantera. A beautiful symphony of distilled aggression.

You should check out "The Great Southern Trendkill" next, it is my favorite Pantera album.

Thank you for the reaction Molly. One of my favorite bands and albums of all time. Hope you continue down the pantera rabbit hole. R.I.P to Dimebag and Vinnie. 🙏

Thumbs up before I even watch because I LOVE this band and this album. Excited to see what you think!

You're killing me with the nu metal comparison. This was before thst era. Dont mind me, I'm old😂

Far Beyond Driven actually hit number one in the mid-nineties. The irony of that is mind blowing in the era where hip hop was in it's prime. You need to have a listen for sure.

This is a great album! The Great Southern Trendkill is another amazing one from them.

you should react to: - Cowboys From Hell - Far Beyond Driven - The Great Southern Trendkill - Reinventing The Steel Pantera is definitely something else.

Love this band so much! Hope you'll react to their other albums too. Still can't get over the fact their guitar player Dimebag got shot on stage by a mentally ill "fan" 😭 R.I.P.

Pantera swings. With Dimebag’s raspy tone and Phil’s growl they came up with true originality.

This tour was amazing. White Zombie opened for em playing La Sexorcista Devil Music Vol 1. Now there is an album you should do. Their only good one in my opinion but from cover to cover not one bad song.

One mic one guitar one band. Forever stronger than all.

When you get to it, Great Southern Trendkill has the best album opening of all albums ever. You're in for a treat Molly 😊

Yes......YES!!!!!!!!! PANTERA, LET'S F'N GO! This and Cowboys from Hell I have played the hell out of. Especially Walk, that is a heavy metal anthem. I still miss Dimebag Darryl, he was taken from us way too soon.

I don't see to many reactions of The Great Southern Trendkill, that was my first album of theirs I bought because of the album cover, was instantly a fan and got me more into Heavy Metal.

Groove Heavy Metal, never thought you could put Groove and HM together, but man Pantera did it.

So glad you got to hear this amazing metal group, that has been keeping me company from my early adulthood and last teen years. 🔥 You might have heard that the bands guitarist; always remembered, always loved Dimebag Darrel Abbott was one of the all time best guitarists , that perfected the sound of his playing by hours of practice with his brother, Vinnie Paul Abbott,the drummer. These guys will go with me to the end. Just love the heaviness in it all!!!❤️🔥✨

They invented groove metal with this album. My jaw dropped to the floor the first time I heard Mouth For War

Such an incredible album.

My favorite album...ever!

Love all of your reactions, you’ve done most of my favourite bands now 👍🏻👏🏻

Another great reaction! They had been around for 11 years at this point ('92) and Nu Metal (allegedly) started around the same year and for sure the genre took influences from them, nice that you picked up on that flavor.

Hey can I say something, I just found your channel, and i think i FELL for you 🤘🏽🖤

Always a good time for some Pantera \m/

Best way to to describe Pantera is Groove Metal, us old school headbangers can headbang and groove out at the same time🤘

Was NOT expecting this but an awesome surprise. "By Demons Be Driven" will forever go on high energy playlists for me. Also, I must once again request that you finish your Hum journey with Downward is Heavenward and then Inlet. Inlet is a sneaky, absolutely masterpiece.

This album was one of my first approaches to metal, more or less when I was 18, my favorite from Pantera and one of the greatest in the history of metal in my opinion! You need to continue with both Cowboys From Hell and Far Beyond Driven, you will realize how great this band was. I love that sound between trash and groove metal, everything in its proper point, everything in its place. Incredible band, with incredible riffs. I look forward to the next ones!.

Underrated channel. Great job!

Yes, another childhood favorite of mine! I cannot WAIT for this one! This one's gonna skyrocket in views I'm predicting it now lol

You mentioned how they reminded you of Type O a little bit. They were pretty close and would tour with each other back in the day.

Started listening to them in middle school, back at their start with phil (yeah, I'm old). Great Southern Trendkill is my favorite album of them, followed by Far Beyond Driven, but this album is great! Love Regular People and Mouth for War.. and This Love. Edit; If you want to see Phil's range, check out Cowboys from Hell.

Great reaction!!! Highly recommend Cowboys from Hell next. Panthers had a progression and it would be good to see the previous album before the next, imo.

Molly... lol... You just listened to 'F*cking Hostile", which makes most people want to run around and destroy sh*t. The song ends and you commentate like a Pro Golf announcer on Sunday afternoon. I Love it!!!!

My favorite band of all time!!

nice reaction! I also really recommend The Great Southern Trend Kill, another awesome album. 🤘

Pantera was such grit and dirt, those albums are perfect

That 'percussive element' in This Love you mention sounds like a broom being swept across a floor....is an electronic sampled instrument called a cabasa. A cabasa is a metal cylinder with a wooden handle. Around the cylinder are strands of metal beads. One can shake it, or use their hand and push the metal beads while turning the handle of the cylinder to get that scrape/broom wooshy-sweep effect. But Vinnine (the Drummer) used an electronic sample of that sound effect. He had two electronic pads mouned on his drum kit one pad was for the electronic cabasa and the other pad trigger the wooden 'side stick' click sound effect you hear after the cabasa in This Love

Now,here is an album that when you put in on,there is no reason to hop over any song!A true masterpiece!!!

The soundtrack to my hate filled youth

Amazing reaction 🤘🏻

I'm not sure if it was pointed out already, but on Live in a Hole one of the distortion effects used is a talk box (sometimes referred to as voice box). It's an effect that lets you control the sound of the guitar using your voice, kinda mixing them together. A famous example of its use is Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, where you can almost hear the guitar go "wow wow" in its verses. Awesome reaction! And what an album to start with Pantera, arguably their best but definitely check out more of them! Well earned sub from me, keep up the great work! ❤

Acyoustic 😁 great album and fun review!

Did not expect this. Pantera are often regarded as one of if not the most prominent 90's metal band. Was thinking of putting this on recently myself. And if you like this, check out Machine Head.

Some suggestions. You did Helmet and I think you might want to do a couple of more from them. Highly suggest Meantime and Betty if you want to continue with them. You need to do Ministry's The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste if you are liking that rabbit hole. I also suggest the band Prong. I think they are kind of underrated in their influence on Nu Metal. Prove You Wrong, Cleansing, and Rude Awakening are great albums, imo.

Live in a hole is 10000000000000000% me in a song. Full of grief I scream at the wind Thought I heard the words of others Imprison myself and stay in a shell I won't let you in to have a story to tell Things tend to drag me down Don't understand so they hate me now My fear grips the will of stone My grip fears I'll die alone I promised myself somewhere in teenage life I'd never submit to the ones I will not be like Live in a hole but stay close to my kind 'Cause they understand what burns in my mind I still feel incomplete Friends are few and far between My fear grips the will of stone My grip fears I'll die alone. Everyday!

Yes! Check out Far Beyond Driven sometime haha

In high school in the 90's I didn't really listen to rock music. It was a predominantly black high school in the inner city. One day a kid was going around selling (probably stolen) new CD's all day at school. I had turned down buying what he had earlier that day. By the end of the day he only had one CD left and he asked me if I listened to rock music and I told him "no, not really" and he said here, just take it. The CD was Pantera - Far Beyond Driven, I knew Pantera was hard shit, so I gave it a try in my car and I was like "fuck yeah!" This was the hard sound I could get into. This one CD was all of the Pantera I had and happy for it. Sound is great. It was Deftones later that I got into heavy sounds and Static-X for heavy vocals. So I recommend Far Beyond Driven for next album to check out and Static-X sometime as well.
