Songs[edit]

If we're going to display the songs as they appear in the album booklet, should we note the discrepancies with the songs' ID3 tags? Nufy8 03:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Death Metal[edit]

Many of the songs on this album sound far too extreme to be labelled as groove-metal, such as "Suicide Note Part 2" and the song "The Great Southern Trendkill." I propose adding death-metal as a subgenre. Dark Executioner 16:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Dark Executioner[reply]

No way. It lacks a lot of elements to be labelled death metal. For starters, it has no death metal vocals. --Elizabeth Bathory (talk) 00:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Believe it or not, Pantera utilizes a lot of death metal elements in their music.RadiumMetal (talk) 06:42, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe it's really death metal, I would put extreme metal instead.(99.246.87.66 (talk) 03:51, 13 February 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Sludge Metal[edit]

Tracks like Drag the Waters and The Underground in America are very Sludge influenced. Should this album be counted as Sludge Metal aswell as Groove? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.73.247 (talk) 17:15, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

second genre[edit]

this album second genre should be alternative metal not southern metal [whatever that is] because this is pantera's most experimental album.

also their are a lot of relaible sources on the internet including allmusic that describe pantera as alternative metal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.220.148 (talk) 16:00, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What does this sentence mean?[edit]

"Screams done by Phil Anselmo on the song "The Great Southern Trendkill" were compared Seth Putman.[5]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.70.174.186 (talk) 09:26, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral point of view[edit]

This article is becoming a tribute to the album instead of a neutrally written encyclopedia article. The critical reception section, in particular, has two quotes that seem cherry-picked rather than representative, and they're not linked on line so that we can see who the reviewers are and what else they may have said. The the first three reviews I looked at, AllMusic, Entertainment Weekly and Pitchfork, do includes some positive comments, but also say "The lyrics...have degenerated into half-baked rants against drugs and pop-culture media", "These cowboys from hell offer little variation on 1994’s platinum Far Beyond Driven..." and "The album offers zero of the euphoric rush of the band’s earlier efforts". IMO summarizing reviews rather than picking certain sentences to quote in the article gives a more realistic overview of critical reception.—Anne Delong (talk) 12:50, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sludge and Southern Metal[edit]

I added sludge a southern metal to this album since i feel it should be added. This album is very different from their previous album, less of a thrash influence and more of a doomy sludge sound like on the title song, 10s, 13 steps To nowhere, floods, and drag the waters TomhenC (talk) 21:09, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
