One of the most underrated albums of this decade. Unique and innovative, with an actual artistic vision, while still being pretty good to straightforwardly enjoy and headbang to. It's a shame that this simply went below the rug. It's honestly sad how metal fans can be such conformists and they'd rather listen to what they've already heard a thousand times instead of something new and exciting.
I think Mr Anselmo has totally grown as a lyricist, and human being. This is excellent stuff, Pantera etc was great and still is - but this shows me how much the man has evolved. It's definately worth a listen is this. Love it. Just ordered it - can't wait to blare this out and piss off the neighbours.
Metal music is all about putting across a genuine intense feeling, hearing the character of the musicians. Phil does an amazing job of putting his personality, huge charisma and intensity into the music. In a world of hi-polish production and technical oneupmanship this is getting rarer to find.
Brutal who gives a fuck metal. A true Phil anselmo album. Dirty dark unpolished pissed off sludge style with some groove and some just brutally distorted rip your face off metal. A+
Couldn't agree more. VOD were a major influence on me when I was a teen and Phil recognized their talent and made them even better. Amazing song. Amazing album.
PanterA is still my all time favorite. But as for the three surviving members. Superjoint was groove,thrash,hardcore masterpiece. Down was a hard rock,groove,heavy metal masterpiece. And the Illegals are Phil just proving, he invents his own style. Fuck genre's. This is just dirty distorted sludge, groove or something that is Phil's style. He can come up with his own genre. I call the entire genre Phil anselmo because he is a master of all rock and metal and always incorporating many styles together and doing it so well each project is it's own genre. As for vinnie hellyeah isn't even near that level. He was and is a great drummer. But without rex Phil and darrell hellyeah is just mudvayne with a better drummer. Wish vinnie would do a project with rex and Phil again.
gouing to NY to see Pantera. Phil. love you....This is .not pantera... Its like you on an island. I never likeed Down... this is Down. Am I going away mad?
Chris P lmao this is nothing like down you tard! Down is nothing BUT riffs, there are literally no riffs on this album. Please don’t talk shit if you’re clueless.

Holy words.
Totally agree but time WILL change that, I am sure..
I'll let you know.

It would help if this music was more accessable, it's nowhere to be found on Spotify
This whole album is absolutely amazing.
Anything Phil sings on is gold
Correct
Phillip H Anselmo doesn't ruin music... He makes it better!
🖕🤘🖕🤘
HANDS UP
HEADS DOWN🖕🤘
I'm stoned as hell and this album just made total sense for the first time.
Metal music is all about putting across a genuine intense feeling, hearing the character of the musicians. Phil does an amazing job of putting his personality, huge charisma and intensity into the music. In a world of hi-polish production and technical oneupmanship this is getting rarer to find.
I must have listened to this a thousand times already. Love it
Second album is not so good. But this one is great
Beautifully chaotic!!!
Phil Anselmo for Hall Of Fame
I say it gets it's point across. Nothing phoney or commercial about this record
Michael Delguidice hands up heads down!!!;
Brutal who gives a fuck metal. A true Phil anselmo album. Dirty dark unpolished pissed off sludge style with some groove and some just brutally distorted rip your face off metal. A+
this scratching guitar's sound, his damned VOICE... always luv them, since "far beyond driven"!!!
Sludge/Punk/Groove with an experimental edge. Love it.
Phil is awesome
This is not music. It's an experience that you won't know till your going, going gone.
Seen them Sunday night in Fayetteville Arkansas, with king parrot, hell Camino, and termination, fucking awesome.
This is awesome
man this is amazing!
Best of all vocals
By the way all Phil fans need to check out Vision of disorder - by the river. Phil does guest vocals. That whole album (Imprint) is a phenomenon.
Couldn't agree more. VOD were a major influence on me when I was a teen and Phil recognized their talent and made them even better. Amazing song. Amazing album.
Familiar yet different. While not my favorite work from Phil, maybe with subsequent listens I can gain more from the album.
Phil is the Robert Plant of the 90's
Even the cigarrete destroyed their vooices, Why phil? Why?!!!
Great Band Great Song's Guitar Solos Of This Album. After Pantera I Think Very Nice Metal Band
Man, it's a fuckin jazz.
Bedridden is a killer, killer tune.

*two
It hurts
So ugly and nihilistic... Have to admit I love it more and more
This is an anti-listening work, and it's awesome it exists!
YES! COME ON.
Even with that smoker voice he sounds brutal
Agressive af album, fucking love it
LET'S GO! FORTH VICTORIOUS.
How the fuck did I not know of this album until now!
WHEN ARE YALL GONNA BE IN THE RECORDING STUDIO!
yeaaaaaahhhhh
Good recording but "Choosing Mental Illness" is better.
Make me proud again
PHA and Illegals are tbe best band. The big 4 and Pantera are great, but this is creepy
51 year old white dude saw all philly front row.
This is pantera!!
The natural evolution of pantera
Fuck yeah hard metal
teach me a lesson... don't disappoint .
Como para descabezar mierdas lml
El álbum perfecto para cuando estás encabronado con todo el mundo
Let's go Phil j a
Phil is totally crazy BUT PHIL IS the GOD of METAL
Uno spreco per Phil! Musicisti di basso livello e te ne accorgi quando suonano i pantera.
PHIL THE TIME TO STRIKE IS NOW.
I feel like i'm lisen Pantera 🤗
I think you called Pantera once " A STONE COLD GROOVE'" yeah this aint it bro
Pantera 2.0
The illegals might be one of my favourite post-pantera phil fronted bands
Its a lot noise in this record¡¡ I can't taste it¡¡ i was hoping something like pantera or down ¡¡¡ 🤔
Who wants to do the same thing over and over?
Agreed. Terrible album and barely musical.
you sound like Phil the band sounds like scrambled eggs. no groove.
Sorry, just plain bizarre...m.
Sono io quello vero
Chi suonava prima nn era quello vero era quello che finto
Alexandre de Moraes.

Flush the format back into its sewer!
Classic ANTI MUSIC! ....
gouing to NY to see Pantera. Phil. love you....This is .not pantera... Its like you on an island. I never likeed Down... this is Down.
Am I going away mad?
Chris P lmao this is nothing like down you tard! Down is nothing BUT riffs, there are literally no riffs on this album. Please don’t talk shit if you’re clueless.
