Without a doubt this is the album that started a new breed of metal. Vulgar Display of Power is a beast of an album that back in 1992 was the cutting edge of metal and was the sort of music that your neighbours would hate. The first track says it all "mouth for war" imagine one of the scariest blokes you have ever seen screeming that at you. Great isn't it? The most popular track on thee albulm is "walk" at one time all the clubs would play it 3 or 4 times a night. A few years ago when Pantera released Vulgar Display of Power I went to see them live and they do look as fearsome in person as they do on the inlay card. If you sit down and listen to the lyrics you get a good impression of the band. Their fearsome looks and stage presence is reversed by songs that appear to be vicious but actually tell us to sit down and chill, racism and hatred won't work. My favorite song is "Fxxking Hostile" its fast and furious but thats not out of tune with the rest of the album. Vulgar Display of Power is a must for metal fans.
