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
Vulgar Display of Power Reviews:
correction.... 
2009-10-03 - This album did not debut at #1, as had been typed in some of the posts. Far Beyond Driven did that. I bought this album when I was in 8th grade, and was floored by the heaviness. There is a unique mixture of groove, thrash, and hardcore, that not many popular bands were doing at the time. This is a must have for any metal fan. It's on my top 10 list for the greatest metal CDs of all time.
first and only review for amazon
2009-09-06 - i only have 3 words for the only review i have ever or will ever do: BEST. ALBUM. EVER.
"By Demons Be Driven" track on this is NOT the origional cd version!!!! 
2009-09-06 - Track 10 "By Demons Be Driven" on this downloadable is NOT the origional cd version. Its some sort of remix. I bought this and am a little upset about it... Buyer beware
Vulgar Display
2009-07-29 - When I was in high school in the very early 90s, I thought metal had gone stale and if I didn't move with the times, I'd end up like Lita Ford in that VH1 show, rocking herself on the beach and muttering something about metal coming back. I started listening to grunge and even learned to enjoy it. Unbeknownst to me, the Cowboys from Hell caught wind of my misdeeds and decided to punish my ears with eleven of the heaviest tracks ever laid down in a studio. It wasn't enough to be heavy; it had to be the heaviest...and it was. And no filler tracks here, boy-o! Every tune, from "Mouth for War" to "Hollow", is worthy of being blasted from your speakers loud and proud.
Only Vulgar Display of Power could redeem Pantera from their glammed-out past. Go ahead - Google the words "glam" and "pantera" together. You know you want to. Don't be ashamed to laugh because they looked like George Michael's roadies before VDOP. Hey, I have to call it like I see it.
If you have Vulgar Display of Power, get off the computer and go play it. If you don't have it, stop reading this review and buy the damn CD already! Then go stand by the mailbox and practice angry things to say to the mailman for having taken so long to bring your CD.
Best of the Best
2009-04-05 - This is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. I saw Pantera 9 times in concert and missed my 10th because of the flu. If I would have know Dimebag would be killed a few years later, I would have went to more!
