Beckon the call,beckon the call.....
Whats up with some of these reviews? They gotta be phony or written by some deaf & dumb people,I dont know? This ones bad a** from start to finish & the only bad thing about it is the cover.Never liked that cover.What does that picture have to do with reinventing the steel anyway,Vin? If you were fortunate enough to see the last (co-headlining)tour they did with Slayer in 2001,as did I,then this music should serve as a constant reminder that those days are gone but never forgotten & there will never be another Pantera!

The only Pantera album I don't recommend.
I don't understand what happened with this album.
Were there a ton of internal issues with the band at the time?
Was Pantera suffering from being burned out with being on the road and all that?
This disc just isn't very good, the songs are boring, dull, uninspired, unmemorable, just plain bad.
Phil sounds like a shadow of his former self.
Dime just doesn't sound very enthused, and the rest of the band sounds bored as well.
A couple of riffs stand out here and there, the into to "Revolution" being a good example.
Sorry, I know this is the last Pantera disc.
I loved Dime's style as much as everyone else....but this disc is not a shining example of his talent.
If your new to Pantera go with the first three and maybe the fourth.
This one is for Pantera die hards only.
R.I.P. Dime.......

The last of it's kind!
The last CD from and epic metal band! Grab this while you still can! A metal must have!

Waste of sound
This has none of the feeling power or talent of the past albums. All the other Pantera albums are fantastic, they should have let this garbage sit in the recycle bin.

A sad godbye to a great band
Reinventing the Steel is the last studio album by popular groove metal band Pantera. It reached #4 on the Billboard Top 200 charts, #8 on the Top Canadian Albums chart, and #5 on the Top Internet Albums chart. The album's fifth track, "Revolution Is My Name", reached #28 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks.

Reinventing the Steel contains lyrics mostly about the band itself, as on "We'll Grind that Axe for a Long Time" (where the band members tell about how they've kept it "true" throughout the years, while many of their peers "sucked up for the fame") and "I'll Cast a Shadow" (about Pantera's influence on the genre). There are also songs about their fans, like "Goddamn Electric" and "You've Got to Belong To It." The band members dedicated Reinventing the Steel to their fans, whom they viewed as their brothers and sisters.
