Editorial Review:
Probably the heaviest album ever to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart, Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power proved that, even in an era of alternative rock supremacy, heavy metal fans were still a force to contend with. Blending eerie, surging grooves influenced by Black Sabbath with thrashy speed metal riffs, Pantera created a bleak, oppressive disc that captured both ends of the speed spectrum without resorting to cliché, abrupt tempo shifts. Guitarist Diamond Darrell plays with as much crunch as the best Metallica, while vocalist Phil Anselmo screams loud enough to satisfy any GBH fan. Coupled with Vinnie Paul's insistent, double bass-drum onslaught, you're left with a record that's a dentist's wet dream--an album that'll shake the fillings out of even the strongest teeth. --Jon Wiederhorn
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pantera's sophmore effort.
"Cowboy's" brought us a band with great potential.
As classic as that disc is, it is nothing compared to "Vulgar".
Cowboy's had a more power metal melodic flavor to it.
Vulgar drops all that in favor of a pure thrash assault.
A few songs still have the melody, (Hollow).
But for the most part it's just a vicious attack that succeeds brilliantly on every level.
No weak tracks here, nope.
Another must have?
You betcha!!!!!!
Go buy!!!
Rating: - This defines power metal.
When it comes to sheer bone-crushing ear-shattering turn-your-brain-into-jello no holds barred savage power, THIS is it! At the same time, the music is precise, the band members play absolutely tight, the equipment setup is near perfect and the energy levels are through the roof.
This is my absolute favourite metal album of all time. Almost every song is a masterpiece of song writing, musical talent and raw unbridled power. Incidentally this is my best pick-me-up album when I'm feeling ... Read More
Rating: - Top 20 Metal Album Of all Time!!
This was the best of all Pantera's work, I love all the albums but this one hands down is the best. I would rate this album with Slayer's South of Heaven, Black Sabbath's Paranoid, Metallica's Master of Puppets, or Anthrax's Among the Living!! This is real metal raw and in your face, the way it should be!! There's a lot to love on this album Phil's piss & vinegar vocals, and Dimebags (R.I.P.) skull crushing guitar work. Mouth for War, Walk, and By Demons Be Driven will having your grinning in sinister ... Read More

Rating: - Best Heavy Metal Album of it's Time
Vulgar Display of Power followed the album Cowboys From Hell. Cowboys is a great album. It's kind of an intro to what Pantera is all about which has to be respected. But to me, when Vulgar came out I was entering me Senior year of high school so I was 16/17 at the time and I remember buying this on cassette tape when it came out. It was a warm day and I rolled down my windows and popped in VDOP.
The first song with the double bass drums of Mouth for War pushed my rear speakers to the limit. ... Read More
