Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
This album has some good songs on it, but I think Vulgar Display of Power is better. Phil Anselmo's voice is a little rough on some songs, but that's what he is known for. I think Vulgar has more great tunes on it than Far Beyond Driven but I still like it. Please no haters need to email, harass or insult me please. This is merely my opinion. Rock On Everyone!

Man, I still can’t believe that someone shot Dimebag…WTF? This was always my favorite Pantera album. They are all my favorite in one way or another, but Far Beyond Driven just seem to blend all of their best elements perfectly. Just like at the end of the Vulgar Video when Phil says the next Pantera cd is going to be hard, abrasive and it’s going to make you go, “ what is wrong with those people”? As many other reviewers mentioned this is the only Metal album to reach number one of the charts and that in itself is an amazing feat reached in my opinion. No other album that comes so close to being death metal has reached that peak yet. Far Beyond Driven is pure unadulterated Pantera from start to finish. The album kicks off with one of the best cd openers that I’ve ever heard Strength Beyond Strength! This song gets the ass kicking and taking down names off to a very heavy and brutal start. I love the break down in the middle of the song, they manage to make it sound heavy as all hell. Becoming has the now classic Vinnie Paul double kick and Phil’s classic lyrics…just read the lyrics to that song and you’ll know what I’m talking about. The next 2 are a classic pair that they made videos for and they both feature Dime’s skillful guitar riffs and solos. Everyone knows these tracks! The only song that I skip is number 5 but I think that that track is just a joke anyway. Hard Lines and Sunken Cheeks has an epic feel to it and check out Dime’s guitar solo on that track. Slaughtered attacks Christianity head on and they do an awesome job on it. This is what Pantera was all about, aggression,…to sum it up…it’s a Vulgar Display Of Power! Haha! 25 years and Shedding Skin have some of my most favorite lyrics that Phil has ever written and are another pair of excellent songs. The next 2 tracks feature more of the signature FBD style which I love. The album closer is a Black Sabbath cover that just somehow ends the album perfectly Check out the video for it on shrooms…trippy!!! Dimebag and Pantera are sorely missed by me and thousands of others. The last song always makes me sad b/c their will never be another Pantera album. But, listen and enjoy what these metal masters created while they were together! Dimebag may be gone from this plane of existence but he lives on thru the Pantera albums. Hail Dime and Pantera, hope to see you on the other side.Read full review
This was my first Pantera record. It starts ot with "Stronger Than All" which at once speaks of leglizing dope, while at the same time mentioning that they make a fortune off your pristine streets(i.e. Squeaky Clean Leave it to Beaver-Burbia.) "Becoming" is an excellent psychological study for the way unhealed pain added to delusion results in violence.(Learn that lesson well before its too late.) "5 Minutes Alone" is a standard @$$-kicker. "Broken" is about how birth and social status are not guarentee of purity, or safety. Porbably my two other fav's are "Shedding Skin", and "Rejection".(Hope that's the name.) "Shedding Skin" is about the end of a relationship, and the pealing apart of a couple's cumulative identity. "Rejection" is about just what it says. I cannot recommend this album enough. It is wonderful stress relief.Read full review
i love this album because as a whole it kicks ass. it doesnt just have a few good songs here and there, it blows the metal away in 94 this music was the heaviest and to date it's still one of the heaviest. i bought it because i needed it in my collection. it has a cool album cover, good lyrics which are written in the booklet because pantera was good to their fans. they didnt just keep you wondering. One of the best guitarist which is a legend dimebag darrel (R.I.P) was a member of this band. PANTERA JUST RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
