Pantera: Metal Magic [1983]

Metal Magic is the first album by the heavy metal band Pantera, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music). [2] Like the band’s next three releases, this album was musically oriented toward a hard rock/heavy metal sound influenced by Kiss and Van Halen, rather than the groove metal style they became famous for playing in the 1990s, [3] starting with the release of Cowboys from Hell. It was released on the band’s own label (also called Metal Magic) and produced by Jerry Abbott (under the alias “The Eldn'”), notable country music songwriter and producer, and father of Dimebag Darrell andVinnie Paul, who were seventeen and nineteen years old, respectively, at the time of release.

Lyrics

1. Ride My Rocket

in this day and time of metal magic
we need rock and roll
we need PANTERA!

I didn’t wanna touch you
since we were both sixteen
didn’t wanna take you down
and show you what love means
now is the time
this is the place
get ready to take a chance
we don’t have a minute to waste

ride my rocket
wear me out
ride my rocket
make me twist and shout
ride my rocket
give me all of your love
ride my rocket
I just can’t get enough.

You leave me breathless
when you walk by
the way you move it girl
makes you satisfy
You might be the best
that i’ve ever had
it’s gotta be good girl
cuz it looks so bad

ride my rocket
wear me out
ride my rocket
make me twist and shout
ride my rocket
give me all of your love
ride my rocket
I just can’t get enough.

feels so good
makes my heart break
every time you touch me
i explode into flames

ride my rocket
wear me out
ride my rocket
make me twist and shout
ride my rocket
give me all of your love
ride my rocket
I just can’t get enough.

4. Latest Lover

She’s the talk of the town
gets around

Love her, leave her
For all the wrong reasons
Love her, leave her
You might even

Who’s been your latest lover?
Who’s been in your bed?
Who’s been your latest lover?
Who’s been in your head?

Out on the streets
She ain’t got enough to eat
Making a living off your time

Love her, leave her
For all the wrong reasons
Love her, leave her
You might even

Who’s been your latest lover?
Who’s been in your bed?
Who’s been your latest lover?
Who’s been in your head?

Who’s been your latest lover?
Who’s been in your bed?
Who’s been your latest lover?
Who’s been in your head?

Who’s been your latest lover?
(Your latest lover)
Who’s been in your bed?
Who’s been your latest lover?
Who’s been in your head?

I need you back in my arms
Girl
You’re the biggest part of me
How long will you leave me out here
in the dark?

Reviews for "The Fashion and Style of Bruno Mars' '24k Magic' Era"

1. Kim Smith - 1/5

I was really disappointed with Bruno Mars' release of "24k magic". The whole album just lacked originality and felt like a carbon copy of his previous work. The songs all had the same generic pop sound with predictable lyrics. I was hoping for something new and exciting, but was left feeling underwhelmed and bored. Overall, it felt like Mars was just going through the motions with this release.

2. John Anderson - 2/5

While there were some catchy moments in the album, I found "24k magic" to be repetitive and monotonous. It seemed like Bruno Mars was trying too hard to create another hit, resulting in a lack of depth and substance in the songs. The overall production also felt overproduced and overly polished, which diminished the organic feel that made Mars' previous releases enjoyable. It's a shame because I was a fan of his previous work, but this album just didn't live up to my expectations.

3. Emily Thompson - 2/5

"24k magic" by Bruno Mars was a major letdown for me. The songs felt formulaic and lacked the heart and soul that I usually associate with Mars' music. The whole album seemed to prioritize style over substance, with flashy production and superficial themes. I was hoping for more depth and innovation from Mars, but all I got was a repetitive and forgettable pop record that fails to leave a lasting impression.

4. Michael Johnson - 1/5

I couldn't believe how unoriginal and uninspiring "24k magic" was. Bruno Mars seemed to rely heavily on overused tropes and clichéd lyrics throughout the album. It felt like he was playing it safe and sticking to a tried and tested formula instead of taking risks and pushing boundaries with his music. As a result, the songs lacked artistic integrity and failed to resonate with me in any meaningful way. I expected more from Bruno Mars and this release left me sorely disappointed.
