I've read somewhere, on this forum probably, that Pantera are groove metal. I'd have to say that that Roots album, so far, is a lot more groovy, for lackthereof a better, less kindly word, than Pantera. But I am never good at labeling things. I used to classify AC/DC as metal. Have a friend who still does.

Instead of giggling like an over-aged kid, why don't you actually explain your point of view?

It was like Chaos, but with almost none of the Thrash influences that could still be found on Chaos. Bores me fast, run time is too long, and many of the tracks are just skippable to me.

Arise is still a worthy follow up to BTR though.

I've had it up to here with you running down Roots, one of these days I'm going to break into your basement, grab you and tie you to a chair and then torture you. It won't be anything gory and bloody, I have something much better for you, I'll force you to listen to the WHOLE Korn discography until you become gibbering wreck.

In the 70s they were often classified as metal and have always had a metal following.
