Far Beyond Driven took Pantera's music to an even heavier and more extreme style than on previous releases; settling for a continuous, slow chugging, mid-tempo groove throughout the album. Far Beyond Driven may have been the group's fastest selling album due to a couple of reasons - the first of which is that it followed the genre-defining Vulgar Display Of Power; the second reason may have been due to the controversial original cover that was in such poor taste that it had to be replaced with an alternate image of a skull being drilled into. Whatever the reasons for the quick and high volume of sales, the album features extreme heavy metal songs such as "Becoming", "Shedding Skin" and "Slaughtered". These displays of aural overloading could hold their own in many a heavy metal competition.
