Reinventing the Steel [PA] by Pantera (Metal)

Pros: Nobody can deny it of being loud and heavy, but...
Cons: ...it's nothing more than that.

Pantera fans don't seem to do anything halfway. Casual Pantera listeners are few and far between. More often than not, followers of this legendary Texas metal band LOVE virtually everything they've ever released. And who can blame them? ...

Pros: A concise album of pure, no frills, heavy metal
Cons: The end of an era

The interesting thing about the title of Pantera's final album Reinventing The Steel is that it didn't reinvent anything. While most of the metal world was following the trend by infusing rap into their sound, Pantera once again played the part ...

Pros: Heavy Metal, dude. Raw, mean, cruel. And well deserved!
Cons: There will be no further PANTERA records...:o(

"Dimebag" Darrell Abbott 1966-2004 Planet Caravan (BLACK SABBATH) from PANTERA's album Far Beyond Driven We sail through endless skies Stars shine like eyes The black night sighs The ...

Pros: Some of Dimebag's finest guitar work, very heavy/grinding songs, fun lyrics.
Cons: Might seem a little stale to some, lacks the southern rock influences of previous Panteras.

The year 2000 will not exactly be remembered as one of the better years in popular music. "Musicians" like Britney Spears and N*Sync were dominating the charts, Metallica released their mediocre soundtrack song I Disappear while constantly trying to put...

Pros: Excellent guitar work, good musicianship, album's sound similar to CFH-era Pantera, very enjoyable overall.
Cons: Not much musical variety, not as diverse as previous Pantera albums.

Pantera. One of the most revered metal bands of the 1990s and deservedly so, as they have put out classic album after classic album and have always been rocking. Starting out in the 1980s as a glam rock band (!), the Texas group changed their musical ...

Pros: Everyone is at their best standard. Consistantly great.
Cons: Not many amazing songs, everything is stuck at the great level

Pantera’s final release, Reinventing the Steel is very different to stuff we’ve heard over the previous 8 years. The album strays from it’s southern touch and makes a more straight ahead metal album, which is nearly straight thrash. The sound ...

Pros: Pantera rediscovers their best sound...
Cons: Nothing really. Misleading title? :)

Despite the title of Pantera's year 2000 release - Reinventing the Steel - Pantera isn't reinventing anything. In fact, the band seems to move back a little bit - To find a sound more similar in early 90's releases Cowboys from Hell and Vulgar Display...

Pros: Excellent progression of sound over the years!
Cons: Vinnie isn't quite as lively as on previous albums

I am a huge Panter fan and have been waiting eagerly for their new release. This more than meets my expectations.

Phil's voice has never sounded better, as on this CD he is slightly more melodic but maintains that snarled edge. Vinny's effort...

Pros: Same Pantera, straight ahead killer music
Cons: not enough songs on the album

I picked up " Reinventing the steel " the first day that it came out. I heard the first single " Revolution is my name " on a local radio station where I am from. It totally kicked my ass! So I bought it, and listened all the way...

Pros: Dimebag's guitar playing.
Cons: Dime's last.

Although it wouldn't definitely be known until December 8th 2004, this would be the last album that Pantera would ever release. What a way to go out though. Even though they're not really reinventing anything, they are releasing some of the heaviest ...

Pros: Too many too name
Cons: First album in 5 days

A tremendously accurate title... as this marks a return of the nasty, crunching distortion... the ripping attitude stalks... and even Phil's smooth vocals, in places! The boys have buckled down and honed in on their riff-laden songwriting niche of old,...

Pros: Has a few songs that are alright...
Cons: Pretty weak album compared to The Great Southern Trendkill.

I wonder what took this album about 5 years to make. After hearing The Great Southern Trendkill, I expected some seriously heavy music. This album was a let down to me because after waiting nearly 5 years for some new Pantera, this seemed like...

Pros: It's metal
Cons: Vocals

Sorry guys, I just do not get it. Pantera's new disc is sub par. Yes, they do make a lot of noise, they really do love metal and they are heavy, but the main problem with Pantera is the problem that they have had from the beginning. Weak song writing and...

Pros: Good music and lyrics.
Cons: none.

This album is one of the most listened to albums i have. It has good songs and music, like i said, and it has good lyrics. My brother introduced me to Pantera, and at first i thought they were a really bad band, but after listening to more of their...

Pros: Great Guitar Riffs
Cons: no great hits on it

I must admit I was a little skeptical when I bought this album. Before I bought this I had no previous Pantera albums. This made a decent addition to my metal collection. This is not for the faint at heart, this is not pop, this is not soft, and this is...
