 В 1983 году металическая сцена США пережила раскол на два лагеря: трэш-металистов и "глэмеров". Два образовавшихся вследствие этого стиля никак не могли ужиться друг с другом. Трэш-метал воздействовал на слушателей по-своему, глэм-метал совершенно по-другому. Мало того, между группами велалась настоящая война (вспомните хотя бы вечные конфликты тех времён между Metallica и Motley Crue).
На фоне всех этих войн и расколов появилась группа Pantera. Задорная, энергичная, и подающая большие надежды.
Как раз к 1983 году группа записала дебютную работу, - не только собственными усилиями, но и с помощью Джерри Эббота (отца двух музыкантов - Дайма и Винни), который хорошо разбирался в новой музыке и стал продюсером альбома. Однако здесь, на мой взгляд, Джерри допустил ошибку. Поскольку трэш-метал сцена была в андеграунде, а глэм-метал на виду, он повёл молодых музыкантов именно в направлении глэм-стиля. Именно это, по-моему, приведёт к расколу в группе и навешиванию железного занавеса на прошлые работы...
Так что же из себя представляет дебютный альбом?
По технике исполнения альбом не плох. Даже несмотря на юный возраст музыкантов, технически альбом выполнен грамотно и профессионально. Вокал Терри Глэйза звучит на уровне и не вызывает плохих эмоций. Винни "стучит" тоже прилично, но до его будущей "стреляющей" барабанной игры явно не дотягивает. Особое место на альбоме занимает бас-гитара, на основном ритме которой построены некоторые треки.
Что касается совсем юного Дайма (на момент записи ему было 16 лет), то здесь стоит и ему отдать должное. Талант гитарного виртуоза при прослушивании виден чётко. Но как и в случае с Винни, будущие шедевры ещё впереди.
На альбоме не так уж и много треков, которые сразу въедаются в память. К добротным композициям можно отнести "Ride My Rocket", "Metal Magic", "Widowmaker" и "Nothin' On".
Присутствуют на альбоме и весьма лиричные песни "Biggest Part of Me" и "Tell Me If You Want It". Очень атмосферные записи, которые портит только одно - качество звука, который слегка приглушён и размыт, что делает прослушивание некоторых треков весьма неприятным.
Подводя итоговую черту, хочу сказать, что мне жаль этот альбом, потому как это действительно хорошая работа, которая незаслуженно забыта. |
