I don't like Pantera either. I don't really want to check out Damageplan if they are similar.

Damage plan...crowbar...down....super joint.....these names make me think they are a bunch of drunken rednecks, who speak hic.

They are, but they don't produce bad music.

None of the songs on the album really stuck out.
But when I listened to it drunk, it gave me the same "pantera rush" That i love about dime's playing.
I think it may grow on me.

Hahaha, i didnt buy it .. a mate gave it to me coz he didnt like it ... haha anybody want it? i dont haha its the biggest pile of poo ... least superjoint rule, and damageplan well they dont, nuff said! totaly let down! their bassist looks like robert trujillo too .... weirdo!

i have mixed feelings on this one.

if you listen to it just, out of nowhere, it's actually pretty decent.

but if you listen to it while whispering to yourself "bah, Pantera were better" then this album wont sound nearly as good.

Like the song F___ You but the rest lacked the why I like Pantera. I'm Out!

In the version i got, he doesnt evem say fuck. He just whispers it and screams YOUUUUUUUUU. Sounds pretty stupid. I'd have to say Pride is the only one i like from them.

Yeah, Pride's probably my favourite song on the album.

well the forums over at damageplan is filled with nu-metal kiddies...so that says it all.

Man, what can I say? I joined this forum just so I could say how wrong you guys are about the new Damage Plan album. It is one kick ass album and probably one of the best metal releases in the past two years (coming from this genre anyway). New Found Power and Soul Fly’s Prophecy are just amazing advances in metal from a bunch of industry veterans. St. Anger was a joke compared to this stuff, this is the real deal!

In NFP the vocals are hardcore and the drums, guitars and bass are loud as hell. What else could you ask for? THIS IS FUCKING METAL PEOPLE!
Zakk Wylde makes a guest appearance and you still whinge saying D.P aren’t as good as Pantera.

I don’t mean to put you guys down but I bet if dimebag were sitting next to you right now you would be worshipping his ass. So don’t let other people’s opinions affect your own. You are all are so used to criticising things you would never be capable of doing yourself that you remind me of cranky old men. I don’t even think people like you guys would recognise a great album when you hear one anymore. This is Dime and Vinnie at their very best. I have been lucky enough to witness Pantera twice in my lifetime and I can’t wait to see Damage live because there are some serious groovers on this offering. Just listen to “Wake Up” and then “Blunt Force Trauma” back to back just to see how much of a range this band has in their repertoire. It’s their first album and you people are already writing them off as lame.

There is a new future in metal. Damage plan are writing this future. This does not make them nu metal or lame but pioneers.
\m/

if you are going to say nice things about Soulfly you could at least put their name right

AND we have every right to criticize, the second anyone becomes a public character, their actions are open to criticsm, we have EVERY right to say it shit and we hate it ... we DON'T HAVE to appreciate it for skill or whatever. Thats what happens when ypu are in an industry based on opinion

m2fu: I've got the utmost respect for musicians like Dime and Vinnie but that still doesn't hide the fact that Damage Plan are comparable to a thick, brown substance usually found in fields. You're right, I wouldn't tell Dime this if he were sitting next to me but I would ask him when or if the next Pantera record will be coming out. You're perfectly entitled to hold your own opinion, but don't get too uptight if other people don't agree with it.

PS: I heard Soulfly's new song (Prophecy) the other day and it's hardly an advancement in metal as it sounds the same as everything else that Max has written since '95. Don't get me wrong, I like listening to Soulfly occasionally but to describe them as advancing metal? No.

I do agree with u when u says "we DON'T HAVE to appreciate it for skill or whatever". But you really should give this album a thorough listening too before you dis it like everyone else who hasn’t even bought a copy of the album, just leeched it off the net and based their opinion on that.

To johnmansley: Max experiments with world music and reggae on Prophecy and you’re telling me that’s not advancement in metal?

Meh
Anyway without further risking my reputation as an Internet wanker on this forum...
Every man to his own opinion. God bless freedom of speech.

Go praise damageplan on their forum. Im sure you'll be loved there. I've listened to the whole album enough to know that it's nothing great compared to pantera. And im comparing it to them because thats what they should live up to. Dont go backwards like metallica.

Why the hell would you think buying the cd make it sound better then downloading it? If i paid money for that crap, i would hate it even more. Make sense? Yup.

I guess ignorance is bliss in your case.

Damage Plan is not Pantera and I'm glad it's not. It doesn't have to live up to Pantera. If you think like that, guess what? You're a fucking moron. That's not an opinion - that's a fact. DP never tried to be Pantera, they never said "We're going to be the next Pantera", they simply said that they'd try and carry from where the best Pantera came from - and I believe they're doing it right.

your a moron for thinking i really care about your opinion
