Advantages: Brilliant metal songs and muscianship Disadvantages: Some may find the singing a bit screaming in places

Cowboys From Hell
Pyscho Holiday
Heresy
Cemetery Gates
Domination
Message in Blood

Advantages: Amazing songs, classic guitar, well written Disadvantages: none
...and most memorable songs!
Cowboys From Hell (4.07) This is a classic pantera song, starting off with the repeating open E string, Dimebag plays a lead over the top. The classic pantera rhythm smashes in, with Dimebag's amazing tone giving the band a unique sound. The singing here is amazing, I really like this singer and this song really does him justice. The solo fits in perfectly, with Dimebag showing off his fine skills with the solo, and the ... ...teh song Dimebag has his way and has a magnificent solo, and plays some very good interlude's!
Rating: 9/10
This album isnt Pantera at it's best, but it has many a classic and well known song on here. Cemetary Gates, Cowboys From Hell and Domination probably being the best. ...

Advantages: One of the best ways to spend an hour of your life Disadvantages: None
Opening with the signature tone of Dimebag's heavily distorted six string and one of the most instantly recognisable riffs in metal: the anthemic 'Cowboys from Hell' of which the album takes its name. This album transcends head and shoulders above most of it's contemporarys in the 'thrash' genre. Phil Anselmo delivers some of his finest vocal displays demonstrating his astounding vocal range and lyrical offerings. 18 years since the recording of ... ...or beauty with lyrical content of betrayal, love and loss being as relevant as ever today as it was in nearly 2 decades ago. When paired with undeniably one of the greatest string and rhythm sections ever; the 1990 seminal metal classic delivers bone-crunching rhythm sections with melodic leads that can only attributed to one of the most influential bands to have ever graced the collective metal genre.
Featuring staple live songs such as 'Domination', ...

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 ... ...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 ...

Advantages: Everything! Dimes riffs are awesome and so are Phils vocals. Disadvantages: None!
...of my favourite pantera albums. Cowboys from hell isnt as heavy as Panteras later work but some of their best songs are on this album, songs such as "Cowboys From Hell", "Cemetery Gates", "Domination", "The Sleep" and "The Art Of Shredding. This album is full of awesome riffs and harmonic squeels from Dimebag Darrel and amazing vocals from Phil Anselmo. From start to finish the album is consistent, i can play the album from start to finish without ... ...5 years now and i still dont get bored listening to it. Its a timeless metal classic.
I am surprised this has only got 3.5 stars by the other reviews because i think this album is a classic. Cowboys From Hell is a must have for any metal head. ...

Advantages: Music, singing, rhythm Disadvantages: Lack of variety
Although this is not one of Pantera's classic releases, it is one of my favourites. Dimebag's Riffs and solos are just incredable, Anselmo's vocals are amazing, and the drumming is also excellent. From the title-track onwards, we are given heavyness, solos, and slightly cheesy lyrics. My favourites are: Cemetery gates has got possibly the best riff ever, with a beautiful solo over the top. Medicine Man has deep-pitchsd vocals, which differ fronm ... ...a fantastic riff. Throughout the album the pace is kept up. My only criticism would be a lack of variety - by the end of the album the songs are all starting to run into each other.
Not a classic, then, but still well worth buying, not only for Pantera completists, but for passing fans too.
RIP Dimebag. ...

...- the planet-moving heaviosity of Cowboys From Hell, the pace of Domination, and the quite simply amazing Cemetary Gates. And thus was born the ultimate in-your-face metal band from its trashy glam roots. Dimebag Darrell's guitar playing is amazing, and Phil Anselmo spreads his lyrical bile all over the proceedings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this album to anyone who has even the remotest interest in traditional, conrete-heavy thrash/heavy ...
