Reinventing the Steel contains lyrics mostly about the band itself, as on "We'll Grind that Axe for a Long Time" (where the band members tell about how they've kept it "true" throughout the years, while many of their peers "sucked up for the fame") and "I'll Cast a Shadow" (about Pantera's influence on the genre). There are also songs about their fans, like "Goddamn Electric" and "You've Got to Belong To It." The band members dedicated Reinventing the Steel to their fans, whom they viewed as their brothers and sisters.

CBMR Digest Vol. 14 No. 1 Spring 2001 - Reinventing Steel Pan on Record: Local and Global Dialectics (2021 words)
The history of steel band recordings is tied closely to calypso recordings because calypso melodies have been a staple of the steel band repertoire (Wallis and Malm 1984, 34).
Steel band recordings, it should be pointed out, should not be confused with pan soloists—many of these were included on calypso recordings that comprise an entirely separate genre.
According to Jeffrey Thomas, the earliest recordings of steel pans appear under the English label Decca in 1940, which since the 1930s had “organized expeditions to Trinidad assigned to sample the most current and popular types of local music.” Considered a “novelt[y],” this early “steel music” was not collected by archivists because of wartime constraints.

Reinventing The Steel is an excellent and highly underrated metal album from metal pioneers Pantera that absolutely is worth listening to and owning.
Overall, Reinventing The Steel is an excellent metal album and another gem from heavy metal pioneers Pantera.
It doesn't reinvent anything, isn't as diverse as the band's previous releases, and most of the songwriting isn't that thoughtful in comparison (aside from Revolution Is My Name), but it's an incredibly fun and energetic album to listen to and one that presents metal in all it's unadulterated headbanging glory.
