Runtime: 57:37 you can normally pick it up for around 8 quid or in the bargin bin as it is very dated. I got my copy as part as a 4 for £20 deal in HMV
Tracklist: 1.Cowboys from hell 2. Primal Concrete Sledge 3. Psycho Holiday 4. Heresy 5. Cemetery Gates 6. Domination 7. Shattered 8. Clash With Reality 9. Medicine Man 10. Message In Blood 11. The Sleep 12. The Art Of Shredding
1.Cowboys from hell: Really good title track, brutal metal with heavy guitars and drums, which will later separate pantera from other bands. Pantera at their best.
2. Primal Concrete Sledge: Moving on , this song is really tedious and boring, it seems like its sung with no tone. cool guitars but the lead singer has really let himself down.
3. Psycho Holiday : A bit more brutal and more like pantera but could do without the iron maiden like screeching.
4.Heresy: I actualy swear this is iron maiden, as you can gather by now i dont like iron maiden.
5.Cemetery Gates : I really like this song, very mellow gentle, reminds me of their version of planet caravan.
6. Domination: cheesey riffs, cheesy singing, cheesy song
7. Shattered: could this be cool...hmm good pantera riffs...then what the fuck i hear the most high pitch screeching to end all screechings.
8.Clash With Reality : This is a cool song, really catchy chourus riff and legendary druming, saved me from pressing the stop button.
9. Medicine Man :Deeper vocals more like some of the tracks on vulgar display of power.
10. Message In Blood :Nice riffs...poor riffs...poor chourus.BAD
11.The Sleep: Slap - dash song , cool druming tho.
12.The Art Of Shredding - All the songs are starting to sound the same now, i cant finish it, its too boring
Sumarry: If you like iron maiden you probably wont even like this album, its very inconsistent and poor. BUY SOME AMAZING PANTERA LIKE V.D.O.P OR EVEN BETTER FAR BEYOND DRIVEN

i wouldn't say this is a great review as you don't really go into much detail. This is possibly my favourite Pantera album and is the album that helped them achieve what they have become today (after their scary hair metal days!) I think Dime expresses his abilities extremely well on this album, and I only wish there was more Pantera material to listen to, as DamagePlan doesn't really compare when it comes to Dime. Although I would recommend Down as a good listen if you want to hear more of Phil Anselmo, they are more chilled but still very very good. Or there is of course Superjoint Ritual, which I don't rate as highly as the rest. Cat x

Not bad. Some more info about each track would make this better. Although this is not one of PanterA's best albums this one is still a classic :)
