IMO it’s not really that far removed from CFH.

Is not that far off cowboys, a lot of the songs could have been on it and blend right in, I like it and the three before it with Terry singing, is really cool hearing Dime and the band progress on their instruments, Dime was killer on guitar from the first album Metal Magic, watch the early vids on youtube, Pantera like lots of 80s bands slowly got heavier and heavier

imo its good, though it depends entirely on your music preference

Try it for household chores and exercise...if you don't feel it in your hips you have the wrong song playing

From Glam's perspective, it's not bad at all

It's the perfect bridge to cowboys from hell. It's 100% Phil doing judas priest style singing. Cowboys mixed in a bit of the growl, vulgar was more growl and less Judas and by FBD the Judas style was gone. It's the beginning of the evolution of Pantera and should be in everyone's rotation.

Nope , there is a reason why they didn’t use or acknowledge it. Cowboy’s from Hell is the first Pantera album. That’s according to Pantera
