It's not that the songs sound the same necessarily - I can easily distinguish them. But it's like "Okay, let's do a metal song!" and that's all. Maybe I expected more. I also think the quality of the songs has gone down since VDOP. Just not quite up to par with CFH and VDOP. Maybe that's just me though.

I can't agree with that. TGST was a departure compared to their first 3 albums. It had more melody...and you could actually UNDERSTAND what Phil was saying! Trying to understand what Phil was saying is like trying to decipher what Al Jourgensen is singing on a Ministry album.
I love CFH, but to be honest, that's probably my least favorite Pantera record. It could be b/c the production could have been better on it--too much of a glaze. I like Terry Date as a producer, but that first album...I dunno.
You can't deny though dham that "Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills" is one of the most fucked up songs ever. Heh...
