great job on the album. not like vulgar display of power but nice. "new level" is a really great track

Fidia. I'm not as informed about Pantera as you are. I do, however, know what kind of music they make and that their guitarist was killed by a nutcase. Know-it-alls like you piss me off because you show up here acting all tough and get mad at someone for getting even the smallest detail about your favorite band wrong. I love Pantera as much as you do. This album, I've said it and I'll say it again, drives me crazy, and I consider it the best. There's no need to be smart like you just because you compare them to Limp Bizkit or System, saying that Pantera is worth way more than them. I don't know if good ol' Dimebag Darrell is happy to see people like you who think they're true fans just because they know every nitpicky detail about their group, but then they judge poorly those who might not know much theory but truly love Pantera. I'd rather genuinely love Pantera than be like you, boasting with stupid claims. And don't come at me saying I'm not a fan. Who the hell decided what a fan is? Did you decide that? Doesn't seem like it, so you can go screw yourself now.

So I didn't mind the album. I quite liked it, especially the rougher parts like Edgecrusher or Shock. However, it lacks the usual style of Fear. For example, if we remember correctly, Demanufacture was a bit better and truly original, I would almost say it's an album that deserves to be included among the masterpieces of industrial metal in the late 20th century.

what a drag, why don't you review someone else? not always hipnotyze the system... anyway, I haven't listened to the album yet... but from the few songs I've heard, I don't dislike it, in fact I like it quite a bit. however, the system isn't the same as it used to be. now almost all bands after their 3rd or 4th album start making crap music.

Yes, Marcello... how old are you? 20? 27? That's quite young for me to be taken down in front of the website. If I'm called a kid, I won't accept it because I can compete with anyone when it comes to musical culture. I know things that even old-timers like you don't know, and I reflect and think like only a wise man can. I can compete with anyone, my friend.

What a great review... the album is excellent even though the first one will be unreachable.

I liked the review. Anyway, do you know why RATM still appeal to me even if you say this album isn't the best? Because they've kept their raw style. Just look at Korn or System of a Down. They've changed so much... I really miss Rage... I’d like to know what happened to Zack. I know he wanted to make music on his own but I don’t know what his band is called now or if it’s called "Zack."

So, I want to be honest with you, man: the review is really shit... the album deserved a better review. BUT HOW CAN YOU PUT THE SONG "BE YOURSELF" BY AUDIOSLAVE NEXT TO THE REVIEW? I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS!!!!!!! TAKE IT DOWN BEFORE I CAUSE A SCENE!!!! I'm really pissed off because I love RATM more than anything else in music! I’m not joking! Am I crazy?

So I agree with the review: the album sucks. However, dear reviewers, you don’t understand that when I speak, you’re not dealing with the usual clueless 14-year-old... I’m 14, but I can compete with you semi-adults and maybe even destroy you with questions about music culture. So, shall we give you a taste of my superiority? Alright. I pose the question to whoever reviewed IOWA: did you know that back in the Beatles' days, our dear old grandparents judged their music as nothing but noise? I even read an old review about them in the newspaper. A review from the 60s I believe, which defined their music as hellish chaos with no sense of musicality... I'm not taking you for the "where-the-back-changes-name."

very nice, the album cochise is beautiful
