I think Pantera is a big steaming pile of sell out. That doesn't mean the music sucks, you can sell out and still be a great band. It just blows my mind that a band can go from touring with Skid Row and singing songs with titles like "Power Metal" and "Ride My Rocket" to something like Vulgar Display of Power and touring with Anthrax. They had 4 full length albums as a power/hair metal act, Dimebag used to be Diamond for crying out loud. Its like they're two totally different bands.

Although I haven't heard any of their early stuff, Cowboys From Hell is awesome. After that they went a bit too 'Just try and be heavy' for my tastes, though.
Now playing: Muse - Assassin
I'm on my first listen to the new album, it's kicking my ass so far. It seems a lot more cohesive than Absolution.
