I think it's pretty good but nothing mindblowing.

I had the first Down album when it came out... it was OK but not a keeper. Traded it off many years ago, haven't bothered with any of their other output

Down's appeal to me was purely Pepper Keenan related. Like Freddy, I had the debut, liked it well enough but didn't look into anything since.

Unfortunately Pepper isn't the shot caller or he'd at least share some of the lead vocals.

I was joking. At this point there is 0% chance that I would ever buy anything Phil Anselmo released for the rest of my life.

I like 'em. I've got all 3 of their albums and yea, not mind-blowing or anything, but good.

I liked the first disc a good bit. The other 2 are ok. They just aren't everything they're hyped up to be.

I like their stuff, but for some reason it sounds like Soundgarden a bit (not completely) to me. I am probably the only person in this world that feels that way.

I've heard a few songs on youtube and I am glad Phil is actually singing again not screaming and some of the songs I heard are very deep and somewhat bluesy I guess it was from the devastation Hurricane Katrina had on his home town hit him hard big time

I like the first two Down CD's I own, very stoney vibe with a touch of Southern Rock feel on certain tracks, to quote Metalguy 'Not Mind Blowing but good'

You know what's weird...that description is right up my alley..."stoney vibe with a touch of southern rock"...plus Pepper Keenan is in the band and I'm a major fan. But...Down BORES THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME.

I recently got their recent album and it's surprisingly good and Phil's singing has improved dramitically and his songwriting has improved as well. I agree with most of you that isn't mindblowing but since the Mainstream metal world is going through a really bad phase at the moment infested with this horrible metalcore I think it needs a band like Down to clean it up and also encourage metalheads to get into blues as well so ye I give 2 kudos and for Phil and co even though Phil behaved badly to the Abbot Family 5 years ago and now has a crappy Kurt Cobain like hairdo

Downs debut cd had some great moments and some crappy ones to. Stone the Crow is still an amazing song.

I really like them.
Everything they have released has been excellent and live they are even better IMO.
Down rules!

I bought Down III when it came out. Like everyone else said, it was ok, but nothing amazing. I ended up selling it.
