| 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 _________________ "Boys, set the terror level at code brown, 'cause I need to change my pants." -- President Hathaway, "Monsters vs. Aliens"

| 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. |

| If Pepper would get rid of Phil I'd probably like them.  _________________  |

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