What's playing on the stereo?

Don't get me wrong - they're decent albums. But, I find VDOP to be better. Maybe that's just me. "Hollow" is a great way to end an album. Overall, I just find it to be a more satisfying CD. I think I still have the tape of it I bought when I was 10. Hehe.

When I said it was the last really good one I've heard from them, what I meant was this: they have failed to really do anything new. 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.

As for seeing them live... it's even worse than Metallica! Imagine a bunch of DRUNK, SUNBURNED, SHIRTLESS SWEATY REDNECKS. But I dig the music, so I go anyway. Imagine me, standing in khakis and a button-up plaid shirt with Doc Martens and 2 3/4 feet of hair, in the middle of this crowd. I don't fit. And I'll probably never go see Pantera again, just 'cause I can't assume that Phil will actually put on a decent show for the people that pay him. Ugh. Like I said, thoroughly disappointed.
