Yeah... but AB has almost half the CD with slower/ballad type songs. I understand the bands you mentioned have played slow songs - but throw me a Pantera CD that has half of its songs as a slower/ballad type. The much greater majority of Pantera and BLS is metal. I'm pretty sure their debut albums had little, if any, "slower" material on them.
My point is that AB is too well rounded to be strictly viewed as metal. That's why you see almost half of the songs on ODR as slower type songs. I'm not dissing them in any respect - they play both really well. They're very well rounded. That's why they're an Audioslave type band - Hard Rock.
