Pantera - The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboy's Vulgar Hits

Good Album

They "Took over this town" with the first track to the album. every track following assaults the listener with their hostile aggressive sound that made them loved by metal fans on a global scale. unfortunately this also caused a crazed fan to jump on stage and shoot and kill the guitarist at a show in cincinnatti ohio but pantera will live forever as one of the most powerful rock bands of all time.

The compilation of great Pantera songs!!!

I started to listen to Pantera in 2003,probably a little bit before the band broke up.I really like to listen to them more than other metal bands.This greatest hits cd really has a lot of really great tracks from their past recordings.This cd has a diverse sound from the early Metallica inspired "Cowboys from Hell" to "Reinventing The Steel",which became more of a heaver sound.My favorite songs are "I'm Broken","5 minutes alone","Walk" and my all time favorite is "Mouth for War".Their is a lot of great songs, but it also came with a dvd which shows their music videos for most of the popular songs and live stuff.


I thinks they should of done what Alice in Chains did and release a box set with live and rare songs.Some of their songs are not include like "Domination","F****** Hostile","Primal Concrete Sledge","Clash with Reality"and come on "Floods",is one of best guitar solos ever.The album is great if you like Pantera and do want to buy of their separate cds this collection has not all of their best work,but it still has a lot of superb metal songs.

Pros: great metal songs,great guitar solos,superb drumming and loud vocals

Cons: should of made a box set August 13, 2008

No es "The Best of Pantera" que yo esperaba!!!!!!!

No es un mal disco pero tampoco es verdaderamente lo mejor de Pantera. Si quieren lo mejor de este grupo compren sus primeros 2 CD'S!!! Especialmente "COWBOYS FROM HELL". Pienso que este ha sido su mejor trabajo!. "THE BEST OF" solo ofrece dos canciones de "cowboys" y deja afuera favoritas como "PRIMAL CONCRETE SLEDGE" Y "PSYCO HOLIDAY" de su primera producción "COWBOYS FROM HELL". Aparte de esto, aparecen muchas canciones del disco "REINVENTING THE STEEL" (que en mi opinión no son muy buenas) y mi favorita de ese CD, "HELL BOUND" no esta incluida. Por el lado positivo incluye 2 canciones que originalmente habian salido en recopilaciones con varios artistas. "PLANET CARAVAN" (De Nativity In Black) y "Cat scratch Fever" (De el soundtrack de Detroit Rock City) que son bastante buenas! (aunque no el estilo de pantera). Mi recomendación seria comprar "COWBOYS FROM HELL" y tal ves "VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER" en ves de "THE BEST OF". May 25, 2008

As much as you whine....

Why be hateful of this greaest album? Sure, there could be better songs that represent what Pantera meant to us, and what it still does, but you can't really expect it to please everyone. Why not recognize it for what it is, and appreciate the music that we were so blessed to recieve from Pantera? The Dvd in itself is worth getting this, so why get upset, and say it isn't what you want? Stick to what you like, and stop printing bad reviews. -Maddawg. February 29, 2008

Missing some awesome songs but awesme and still pantera nonetheless

As said so many times nefore, this album is missing some excellent songs however it's still worth the price and contains the "Pantera Essentials". Considering there are some rarities on here that can't be found on their studio recordings, you should buy this and Pantera's three best studio albums: :Cowboys From Hell","Vulgar Display of Power", "Far Beyond Driven".

Personally though (for those of you that care) I would have liked to have seen "Domination", "The Sleep", and "Psycho Holiday" from "CFH", "New Level", "Rise", and "F'n Hostile" from "Vulgar", "War Nerve" and "Floods" from "Great Southern Trendkill", and "We'll grind that axe all day long" from "RTS"
