Reviews
"..one of the most satisfying heavy metal records since Metallica's early-80s cult days...11 caustic songs of unabashed brute force...a fully realized album that goes way beyond metal's usual crunch-and-burn.." - Rating: A, "Blow after blow, the band create indelible lines; in between, they play all kinds of bluesy twists and polyrhythms...", Included in Q's "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time" - "...Pantera's new, heavier direction...was succinctly summed up by 'A New Level's sludge-thick chorus and the neck-snapping riffage of bile-flecked hate anthem 'F***ing Hostile'...", "These Songs Have Groove, a Quality Not Known to Many Metal Acts of the Era.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It still stands out for its sheer ferocity....Philip Anselmo's barked vocals are perfectly complemented by guitarist Diamond Darrell's virtuoso soloing..."
