REVIEW: Pantera - Reinventing The Steel Elektra Records, 2000
9/10
Pantera - Reinventing The Steel - cover art One of the most powerful metal bands in the world is back in the race with an album appropriately entitled "Reinventing The Steel", containing three quarters of an hour of pure energy. This is definitely not the best release from Pantera so far but they still have their characteristic aggressive sound that can not be beaten by many other bands. There is not really much to say about Pantera albums - perfect production, melodic aggressive guitarwork, strong harsh vocals and rhythmic drums. The only thing that could bring them down is that they don´t change very much and with this album it seems like they have run out of ideas. The first albums from the band were really great and they still are but now it seems like they´re doing the same thing over and over again. There are several great tracks on this album with the old flow but Pantera has got to watch out because there are new bands of very high quality evolving that might steel the crown from the mighty cowboys from hell such as Machine Head. The album was recorded in DWG, Texas at Chasin Jason Studios, engineered by Vinnie Paul and Sterling Winfield, mastered by Howie Weinberg at Masterdisk, digital editing and sequencing by Roger Lian. On this album you can except from Pantera also hear Kerry King from Slayer doing a lead outro on "Goddamn Electric".
