The MP3 deal of the day over at Amazon today is Pantera‘s Vulgar Display Of Power for only $2.99.

Here’s where I explain to you why you should part with three bucks: This album is fucking amazing. That’s right, I cursed for emphasis, and I’d do it again… fucking amazing. There’s not one bad song on the whole album, but here’s three songs that are worth the $2.99 alone: “Mouth For War,” “Walk,” and “This Love.” There, done.

Like metal? [And you don’t already own this album? :::gasp:::] Vulgar Display of Power is a must-have in your collection.

Pantera was a four-piece metal band from Texas whose 1990 crossover album Cowboys From Hell was their breakout effort, solidifying their place in the metal pantheon. Vulgar was their even heavier follow-up in 1992 and is, in my opinion, their best album. Some of you might remember Pantera from their iconic guitarist, the shred master Dimebag Darrell Abbott, who was gunned down by a deranged fan in December 2004 while performing with Damageplan (the post-Pantera band he formed with his brother, Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul). On vocals is Phil Anselmo, who performed in numerous side projects like Superjoint Ritual and is currently fronting Down.
