Probably the most unique rankings of Pantera records I've seen. Far Beyond Driven is my personal with Vulgar following it, mainly cuz I only listen to em nowadays for workouts and the sheer aggression from those albums get me pumped.
@AlmightyKuda It is ridiculous to say its "the reason they got so popular." I guess Exodus is the reason Slayer & Metallica got so popular too huh? This Exhorder non sense from misinformed fans in every Pantera thread is so old. Christ even the Exhorder guys are tired of it.
At this point the Exhorder thing should've seen as a simple joke, and i wrote my comment with that purpose. But oh well, can't blame dome Pantera fans for lacking sense of humor.
1. Reinventing The Steel (easily) 2. Official Live 101 Proof 3. Far Beyond Driven 4. Vulgar Display Of Power 5. The Great Southern Trendkill 6. Cowboys From Hell 7. Power Metal 8. Projects In The Jungle 9. I Am The Night 10. Metal Magic The pre Phil era of Pantera albums were all written when Dimebag was 14-17 years old. People just dont realize the main songwriter in Pantera were younger than Metallica guys for example. The first album written with Philip entirely was CFH which is ultimately why they sound so different. PM was *Written* in 1986 before Phil joined and they sat on it til 1988.
@Integrity101 - RIS was their only album I purchased day1 and caught a live show for. So I have a lot of nostalgia for RIS. HOWEVER.... ‘Death Rattle’ and ‘Uplift’ are basically filler, and the album as a whole was, ironically despite it’s name, the least revolutionary of all their major label output. Cowboys, Vulgar, Far Beyond and TGST were all cutting edge metal releases that changed the face of metal. With each of those four albums Pantera’s sound took a huge leap forward. By comparison RIS was not only more of a consolidation of previous styles, but half the time it felt a bit like they were treading water, going through the motions. It has some great songs, but it’s not on the level of the previous 4 imo.
RTS does not have the urgency of the previous four albums and it’s not doing anything new. Some great songs, but I fee like they just wanted to release one final album during the peak of Nu Metal as a final fuck you.
Glad to see another fan of the criminally under-rated Power Metal! It's my personal favourite Pantera album. It's so much fun. My ranking is very similar to yours, except My opinion on Vulgar Display of Power is the same as your opinion on Far Beyond Driven and in my ranking I'd swap their positions. Fantastic video!
@@Questformetal you were my brother anakin. We were bonded by blood. Now you listen to gay music. And... I do as well actually. Glam metal rocks. I would be gay for dimebag any day if he was alive.

Will go with my top 5,cause I listened to albums pre-Power Metal only twice each. All I gotta say is that they sound like a Van Halen with a lower budget,but I enjoy Van Halen,so I enjoy these albums too. Gotta say,I wish Anselmo came much earlier into the picture,his vocals could have made them better. 1.Cowboys From Hell- This one is one of my favourite metal albums ever. It has everything-groove of their later material,high vocals of Power Metal and a dash of thrash and blues. Every song is a killer,catchy as hell and makes me wanna bang my head. 2.Great Southern Trendkill-Probably their most diverse album and their angriest. Again,every song is a killer,but special mention of course goes to Floods,what a perfect song. 3.Power Metal-Yes,I enjoy it that much. Never understood,why this album isn't mentioned often, it has some glam overtones here and there,but primarily it's a straightforward heavy metal record. The title track alone makes this album underrated,what a great riff it has. 4.Vulgar Display Of Power-I understand why people love this one,but for me it just doesn't have as many great songs as albums above. But when it hits,it hits hard, Fucking Hostile is just a perfect angry song. 5.Far Beyond Driven- It kinda suffers from the same problem that Vulgar Display has-not as many memorable songs and minimalist groove isn't always enough to keep you interested. Not bad by any means,but isn't as strong.
Far beyond driven is my favourite cos it’s the heaviest along with treadkill and has better songs on , vulgar gets shit after track 7 and cowboys from hell is good the whole way through but not quite top notch
My ranking from cowboys to re inventing the steal) 5. The great southern trend kill 4. Re inventing the steal 3. Cowboys from hell 2. Far beyond driven 1. Vulgar display of power
1: Far Beyond Driven 2: Vulgar Display of Power 3: Cowboys From Hell 4: The Great Southern Trendkill 5: Reinventing The Steel 6: Power Metal 7: Projects In The Jungle 8: I Am The Night 9: Metal Magic
Well... That's a unique ranking, but I actually like this ranking. It's controversial should you consider the glam albums pantera or not, that doesn't matter
I can’t get into Reinventing The Steel. Not bad, but it lacks replay value for me. Either Cowboys or Vulgar is my #1. Cemetery Gates is easily top 3 Pantera songs. Interesting ranking man!
1. Cowboys From Hell (1990) 2. Vulgar Display of Power (1992) 3. The Great Southern Trendkill (1996) 4. Far Beyond Driven (1994) 5. Reinventing The Steel (2000) 6. Power Metal (1988) 7. I Am The Night (1985) 8. Projects In The Jungle (1984) 9. Metal Magic (1983)
Let's get it all off of our chests : Glamtera > Pantera Ghost and Cradle of Filth are great Kiss is a good band Power Metal (mostly) is not cringe Dance of December Souls has a sound that will NEVER be replicated by anyone Load and Reload are great albums Megadeth and Overkill have good vocals Dude from Animals as Leaders has a weird thumb
1- Vulgar Display Of Power (1992) 2- Cowboys From Hell (1990) 3- Far Beyond Driven (1994) 4- The Great Southern Trendkill (1996) 5- Reinventing The Steel (2000) 6- Power Metal (1988) 7- I Am The Night (1985) 8- Projects In The Jungle (1984) 9- Metal Magic (1983)
Pantera, yet another one of the many, many bands I still need to check out more of... lol. Having Power Metal at #1 is definitely a bold move, I don't see that very often.
I can’t even get into anything before COF! Vulgar Display Of Power is my all time favorite easily but my two fav songs are on COF: Cemetery Gates and Domination.
I totally understand the logic. Not everyone likes groove metal and Far Beyond Driven is groove metal at its finest. I like Power Metal a lot as well but Cowboys From Hell has always been my favorite.
have to disagree. how could you rank project in jungle higher than far beyond driven ??????? thumb down :( you said song on fbd had never caught your attention. listen to it again but carefully. start with I'm broken or 5 minutes alone or any other cause every single one on this album is a f****** killer!!
FINALLY! Somebody else realizes the brilliance of Power Metal! As you said, EASILY the best Pantera album.. Followed by "Cowboys". "Vulgar" is a distant third... then "Metal Magic" Then you can rank all the rest of them however you feel. I don't listen to any of those anymore.
The main reason why Power Metal is not the greatest is largely for the reasons you laid out. It was great, but too much the sound of their heroes, like Priest. They had not found their unique style yet. Opinions vary though.
@@denisn8336 Dimebag Darrel for Cowboys from Hell literally contacted Terry Date who was the producer, mixer and engineer of Overkill because he wanted Pantera to sound like The Years of Decay. Go wash your ears before even try to type about music
@@martinolopezcastro9739 does years of decay sound like trendkill or far beyond driven? Na you could make the argument for ideas but the groove metal sound that everyone rips off comes from pantera.
my damageplan album ranked: 1 - cowboys from hell 2 - vulgar display of power 3 - reinventing the steel 4 - the great southern trendkill 5 - new found power 6 - far beyond driven
This is, by far, the strangest Pantera ranking I've seen. My list: 1. Vulgar Display of Power 2. Far Beyond Driven 3. The Great Southern Trendkill 4. Reinventing the Steel 5. Cowboys from Hell Not impressed with the albums before Cowboys from Hell.
They would love that you said Power Metal is a mix of Judas Priest and Kiss. I really think that's what they were going for at the time. Interesting list. I don't agree with, most of it lol, but interesting none the less. Love Pantera though. \,,/
I fucking love that you put Power Metal at the top. I really dislike Pantera's later stuff. Anything past Vulgar Display is overrated as shit in my opinion.
I watched a video of Phil Anselmo ranking them and he said (Best) 1. Reinventing The Steel 2. Far Beyond Driven 3. Vulgar Display of Power 4. The Great Southern Trendkill 5. Cowboys From Hell 6. Power Metal (Worst)
I may get some hate for this, but I've always thought Vulgar Display of Power is the most overrated Pantera album. Don't get me wrong, the first half is great. Everything from Mouth For War to This Love are timeless classics. The second half, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Rise has some incredibly boring riffing and Live In a Hole is just a pure filler track. Hollow was a decent closer but yeah, tracks 6-10 were completely skippable tracks just to fill up disc space (hence, filler tracks).
I love pretty much the whole album but if I had to say there was a filler track it'd be Live In a Hole, so I'll agree with you on that. Rise is actually one of my favorites from the album so I guess I'm weird? I don't know I just love everything except Live In a Hole which I think is just a decent track.
Far Beyond Drive is by far my number one. Metallica went soft around this time and Pantera could've done the same and they actually got heavier. I also can't stand Reinventing the Steel.
@@mostlymetal5330 I hated it at first but its a slow burn. For many people it grows on them with time. Ive seen that said a lot. Its my favorite metal album period. Hey if ya dont like it, ya dont like it. To me RTS is a modern more mature vulgar with more vocal melodies and a pinch of old school black Sabbath thrown in. Immortally Insane and Avoid the Light are two of my favorites also. To each his own *Edited* if FBD is your favorite you probably like BECOMING. To me I'll Cast A Shadow is like a modern BEVOMING in song structure with a Domination type outro. I actually think RTS is very similar to FBD just with much more vocal melodies
Agree with Power Metal being at the very top. Wish Anselmo had used that Halford-esque vocal style on later albums instead of those unbearable trailer park dwelling wannabe-tough guy vocals.
As a pantera fan for some reason the power metal album flew under the radar for me. I remember discovering it for the first time and I was so blown away. It was so damn good and I also agree it should be number 1 on this list. Its better than CFH which is a great album too.

They would love that you said Power Metal is a mix of Judas Priest and Kiss. I really think that's what they were going for at the time. Interesting list. I don't agree with, most of it lol, but interesting none the less. Love Pantera though. \,,/
At least it was unexpected
my favorite albums are vulgar display of power and the Great Southern
Trendkill
my pantera album ranked:
1 - metal magic
2 - power metal
3 - project in the jungle
4 - i am the night
I fucking love that you put Power Metal at the top. I really dislike Pantera's later stuff. Anything past Vulgar Display is overrated as shit in my opinion.
Power metal at #1, that's my boy👌🏻
home/collection tour video plz
Cmon bro, Far beyond driven is the best Pantera album and the best metal album of all time, It doesn't have to be death metal to sound so brutal.
I watched a video of Phil Anselmo ranking them and he said
(Best)
1. Reinventing The Steel
2. Far Beyond Driven
3. Vulgar Display of Power
4. The Great Southern Trendkill
5. Cowboys From Hell
6. Power Metal
(Worst)
10:19 woah I have to check out pwer metal
I may get some hate for this, but I've always thought Vulgar Display of Power is the most overrated Pantera album. Don't get me wrong, the first half is great. Everything from Mouth For War to This Love are timeless classics. The second half, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Rise has some incredibly boring riffing and Live In a Hole is just a pure filler track. Hollow was a decent closer but yeah, tracks 6-10 were completely skippable tracks just to fill up disc space (hence, filler tracks).
I agree, although I love Hollow.
I love pretty much the whole album but if I had to say there was a filler track it'd be Live In a Hole, so I'll agree with you on that. Rise is actually one of my favorites from the album so I guess I'm weird? I don't know I just love everything except Live In a Hole which I think is just a decent track.
👏🤟
Far Beyond Drive is by far my number one. Metallica went soft around this time and Pantera could've done the same and they actually got heavier. I also can't stand Reinventing the Steel.
You cant stand it? Really? I'm always surprised by this. Its easily my favorite. Those songs were amazing live
@@integrity101 I even tried listening to it again a month or two ago. I found myself bored with 95% of it. No idea why.

I hated it at first but its a slow burn. For many people it grows on them with time. Ive seen that said a lot. Its my favorite metal album period. Hey if ya dont like it, ya dont like it.
To me RTS is a modern more mature vulgar with more vocal melodies and a pinch of old school black Sabbath thrown in. Immortally Insane and Avoid the Light are two of my favorites also.
To each his own
*Edited* if FBD is your favorite you probably like BECOMING. To me I'll Cast A Shadow is like a modern BEVOMING in song structure with a Domination type outro. I actually think RTS is very similar to FBD just with much more vocal melodies
@@integrity101 Becoming is probably my fav song off of FBD. I will try it out again in the near future and see if my mind changes. Great discussion!!!
@@mostlymetal5330
Cool. Yeah Becoming is my favorite off FBD also.
I love Power Metal as well.
The first three albums are amazingly well crafted tunes by teenagers, but it's in no way better than RTS, c'mon now.
Mr. Elmo has an everything problem.
Now unfortunately Im not a big fan of Pantera. The early albums were better. Dimebag I liked. Its Phil I dont care for it.
I cringed at your number 1 😂
1. Vulgar
2. Cowboys.
3. Far beyond driven
4.power metal
The other albums has good moments but not strong albums top to bottom.
Agree with Power Metal being at the very top.
Wish Anselmo had used that Halford-esque vocal style on later albums instead of those unbearable trailer park dwelling wannabe-tough guy vocals.
11:55 na lol
Vulgar Display>Cowboys From Hell>Everything Else
Normie asf
TRENDKILL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Unsubscribed.
Vulgar all the way
Yup got to far beyond driven thumbs down im good time to stop video 👎👎👎👎👎
As a pantera fan for some reason the power metal album flew under the radar for me. I remember discovering it for the first time and I was so blown away. It was so damn good and I also agree it should be number 1 on this list. Its better than CFH which is a great album too.
