I heard some Down, finally...

[sixxswine]

I think you might have a bit of sand in your vagina.

I know you're wrong... Stop thinking you might hurt yourself...

 

[ohiogrinder]

I can't stand Down or Pantera, or pretty much everything Phil Anselmo has done for that matter.

well thats your loss. Superjoint Ritual is awesome.

 

[sixxswine]

OMG someone disagrees with you...proceed to spout off annoying font filled bullshit

You put me in my place didn't you?! Did the shoe fit? Why are you so bent?!:Smug::Smug:

 

[mdmatt4ever]

You guys are crazy, III is freaking awesome.

i agree

 

[The Ozzman]

III is terrible. It is half-assed at best.

 

[waif]

I know you're wrong... Stop thinking you might hurt yourself...

for the love of (God/Satan/Buddha), get rid of the fucking colored font. It's really irritating and takes about 15 IQ points off of everything you say.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Just because it's not to your liking doesn't mean they are talent free. I know if they sang of satan, scarifice, wore clown make-up and sounded like every other Swedish black metal band they'd be good in your mind right?

LMAO, I know a handfull of those types... I don't like Down myself though, at least not on anything I've yet to hear by them.

 

[raiseyerfists]

I heard III first, I actually really enjoy it but it's not really a metal album, I'd say. I heard I and II recently and like them a lot too.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I haven't heard Down, but Pantera is abysmal, so by the transitive property of suckiness, Down must be pretty bad as well. I won't go out of my way to find any of this stuff.

 

[MURAI]

I don't know about their earlier 2 albums, but their third album is a lot like Audioslave. At least Audioslave's first album.

1. groovey, blues-based heavy rock riffs
2. vague, anthemic lyrics about destruction and redemption
3. hooks made for radio

I absolutely would not call Down a Black Sabbath style band based on their third album.

As for Audioslave being Radioslave... Down is just the same way. Probably trying to capture the same crowd.

You're comparing Down with Audioslave? That's stretching it.

I heard one song from Down's recent album. "Never Try" I think it was. I thought it was OK. Thought about getting the album but forgot about it.

The Ozzman, so you dislike III but do you like their earlier albums?

 

[Belligerent]

More like a disgrace. Audioslave is terrible.

 

[MURAI]

Sixxwine cracked a little joke... Lighten up people!

 

[Manic Ferocity]

My only problem with Down (and this goes for their first album as well) is that I just can't get into Phil Anselmo's vocals. I can't even listen to much Pantera because his vocals grate on me so much.

 

[Belligerent]

His vocals on NOLA are his best vocals. Guess you don't like Phil then.

 

[waif]

More like a disgrace. Audioslave is terrible.

i dunno...i used to hate them, but once I listened to it without looking for RATM i really dug it. Solid hard rock, but...to each his own.

 

[The Ozzman]

They should have been named Radioslave.

 

[Belligerent]

It's just that everyone gets their jollies off on Tom Morello's playing. His sound effects are monotonous.

 

[The Ozzman]

His guitar work was better in RATM.

 

[Belligerent]

Not a fan of either band. I do like Cornell with Soundgarden tho'

 

[ohiogrinder]

Soundgarden rules. why can't they just reform?
