Catchup Time

Thank you, been saying that for decades.

High Anxiety is brilliant , it's like a follow up to Troublegum insofar as it's potentially hit after bit.

Never Apologise Never Explain is great as well. It's the last one I listened to.

It's a bit less straight forward. Almost like a companion to Infernal Love.

[jpm4]

Cleave and Never Apologise, Never Explain are the post Troublegum ones I go back to the most. They have memorable songs with a bit of grit to them, the drumming is great too.

[Eoin McLove]

Must check out Never Apologise so. I like Infernal Love.

[Ducky]

Never Apologise has Die Like a Motherfucker, which is one of their best songs.

Going to have a go at a couple of the Therapy? albums mentioned here as I don't know a note of them. I just stopped at Semi Detached and never went on. Maybe I listened to Cleave all the way through once and my toes curled at Wreck It Like Beckett to the extent I didn't go back

[Bürggermeister]

It's a shrewd move, opening your album with the worst song in it by far

Defo give High Anxiety a go. It was Neil Cooper's first album on drums with them. Whether by accident or design his style is bang on for Ewing's, which is to say he's fucking deadly and really adds to their sound.

[Carnage]

I like Wreck It..., it was deadly live on that tour, a great opener IMO.

[astfgyl]

I saw Wreck It live and I was unimpressed. Just a dogshit concept lyrically and dare I say musically as well.

I listened to Troublegum the other day. It's okay but Infernal Love is far better.

Watched a Pantera clip on youtube a while ago, so the algorithm started bombarding me with more and I figured I'd go back and run through the discography including the early stuff

Looking at all the interviews though, can't help but think that if Dime wasn't shot he probably would have been dead in a few years from the booze

I also choose to remember 'Diamond ' Darrell as I had been introduced.

What about trying their 80s stuff.
?  Yeah, it's not Pantera as they later became known as but if you pretend the 90s didn't happen for them it's perfectly serviceable 'heavy hair' metal. 'I AM THE NIGHT' is a good one.

I'll give that a shot, sound. I dunno why I fell off from listening to whatever they put out like I can't even say it was because it was bad because I didn't try it

Sure I did the same, just later down the line.

If you haven't given Suicide Pact a whirl that's a very good one too (Infernal Love is their best, IMO).

Give Shameless a very wide berth. You know when you're a young fella with limited record buying power and you spend your dosh on a total stinker? Shameless is one of mine. Even their later albums that aren't great at least have your man Cooper's very tasty drumming on them, Shameless still had Hopkins and "serviceable drumming, shite songs" comes to mind.

[Carnage]

Shameless is indeed shite, thankfully I picked that one up fairly cheap & secondhand on Ebay.

Just went to pick up the deluxe reissue of One Cure Fits All there, €28 for the bastard on CD. That was Amazon, Spindizzy are sold out, I'll keep looking.

[jobrok1]

One Cure Fits All is their biggest dud, in my opinion. Just no spark to any of it.
