COMMENT | It sounds really cool posted by : paleguy 9/15/2007 12:33:36 AM
I listened to it today, and it sounds cool. Heavy and bluesy just as expected. But Phils vocals are going take a getting used to. JUst not the same, ya know. Still good, just not the same

fuck, i am really trying, but i ain't feeling this shit.
they sound it would be heavy as fuck, so that's what i expected. if they would have said it was gonna be led zeppelin heavy, i would have adjusted my expectations.

i could care less about lyrics.
in fact, i make sure i do not read them, because the times that i have, i've felt emberassed about liking the song.

Album of the year 1996! sadly we're closing in on 08. Im not hating on the band...just speaking the truth. I hate to say it but this album will only appeal to Anselmo fans. The dudes work is legendary but he has had nothing to offer this century and over the under only confirms it.
Give me shit all you want its only my prediction. Im sorry its just too old school. Seriously I think the band and album are cool...Im just being honest.
COMMENT | fulci..........is an idiot posted by : nosebleed 9/15/2007 2:10:06 AM
You think this sounds like audioslave????Are you on fuckin crack??? This is going to be a heavy heavy album.....just not pummeling the top string on their guitars and screaming mercilessly like some of you idiots like.
COMMENT | you are a bunch of losers posted by : oldgoat 9/15/2007 2:12:52 AM
this abum kicks ass, the best band in the world releases an old school true metalalbum and you you all bitch, get a life virgins
COMMENT | It's good... posted by : The Intrvert 9/15/2007 2:33:53 AM
But, there needs to be more of a negative vibe like their prior albums. To kick you emotionally, musically. per say. I guess it's not nearly as "doomy". I was listening to Floodgate alot, so that factors alot of my expectations. It's still a great release for 07.
Nothing In Return is fucking amazing!
COMMENT | woould you like anselmo to rap for you to make it more modern posted by : oldgoat 9/15/2007 2:35:18 AM

COMMENT | IF you think that anselmo posted by : smoothaswax 9/15/2007 2:53:12 AM
has not wrote anything good this century, then you have never listened to DOWN II. That album is a badass example of southern rock, and phil kills on it.

COMMENT | oldgoat posted by : dallaswillis 9/15/2007 2:55:33 AM
I meant rather than try to cash in on something made 14 years ago they should try to write new music. Im sorry but without their prior credentials the wouldn't even get signed now. Again, I like the band...Just giving a review. Hate all you want...(I wont lose a second of sleep for this)

^^^May have been too harsh on the album, I was just expecting more from all the hooplah!

Kick ass, just as expected! There are few bands left that don't disappoint, & down is one of them!! TORONTO OCT 22ND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COMMENT | was severely disappointed posted by : And Then There Were None 9/15/2007 3:09:17 AM
till i head "On March The Saints"
what a cool fucking song.
and, in time, the other may grow on me.
not the old Down, but it may be good. cannot judge now, drinking on a Friday night. must wait several weeks till the music and vibe have sunk in.
cheers.

your right they would not be signed because there music is timless im sure Linkin park and limpbizkit are the bands are the bands that move you,im sorry i dont believe in corprate no talent bands that call themselves rockbands without no ounce of talent or something to say.
COMMENT | About to check it out posted by : Ironlung 9/15/2007 4:05:14 AM
NOLA is by far the best record though.
COMMENT | God damn it posted by : Ironlung 9/15/2007 4:29:28 AM
Its all right. Its lacking some riffage though. In The Arms Of God probably has more metal than this.
COMMENT | WOOT DOWN posted by : Whitehouse816 9/15/2007 5:04:35 AM
On March the Saints is such a badass song... fcuking cant wait to hear this whole thing. October 19th at Harpos!!!!!!!!! PHIL OWNZ

"The vocals suck
There are so many other bands doing this style and doing it better!!" -----------------------
these are anselmo style vocals. all the other bands doing this style are just copying anselmo.
fucking love the sound of this. sounds different but its still down.
i am looking forward to smoking up to this on the 25th!
COMMENT | posted by : mad_santa 9/15/2007 6:12:43 AM
ahh... old school as fuck!! LOVE this.
COMMENT | I think posted by : Ashesofthewake 9/15/2007 7:30:35 AM
that this is an album that kicks ass!
Seriously, phil is not washed op, he just changed style..and I dig it..although it was uncomfortable in the beginning (the process of adapting it), but I just love it..
I downloaded the entire album, (will buy it the 25th, don;t; worry) and it is a killer album..bluesy, heavy, energetic, beautifull and real
In my opinion it is a mix between sabbath and audioslave (the cornell part), but better
This is exactly what I was hoping it would be. how creative can you be when all you can think about its your pain and addiction.. Now that Phil is clean and healthy the man is now the best shape mentally and physically he could be.
His singing is beautifully soulfull and not slurred and muddied by a head full of junk.
Thank you Down for this will be a cherished and loved album by me. I'll be very proud to own this.
COMMENT | Needs Heroin posted by : Old Rasputin 9/15/2007 10:05:53 AM
That's the missing element. So many bands had great albums then they went sober and it blew. Not that I want to see Phil OD, I just don't feel anything from any of these songs. I wish I did like this album, nothing has come out this year that has really impressed me.
COMMENT | boo hoo, it´s too old school... posted by : kalavera 9/15/2007 10:24:19 AM
fucking bitches, old school is the rule motherfuckers! the power of the riff compells me!!!
COMMENT | posted by : Marthrax 9/15/2007 11:05:52 AM
III is like Black Zepplin or Led Sabbath, pure and heavy! ;)
Some people compare it to Audioslave, but that's just the song "on march the saints" and I would say it remembers me more of Soundgarden. But on the other side, Soundgarden was influenced by Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin, so the other way around it still seams to be really pure. It's like a 70's heavy rock album and so were some good bands of the 90's, Down was one of them and they still have it.
Over the Under is absolutely anti-modern music. It's back to the roots - music, taking the music back to a time where the bands were playing music to express their feelings instead of following trends. It's the absolute opposite to these modern Emo-/MetalCore-Bullshit Bands, where every band sounds equal, so was Nu-Metal some years ago.
By the way, this does not mean III wouldn't have some kick-ass parts. "Pillamyd" kicks so much ass, unbelievable! Can't wait to hear it in a better quality-version, mp3 sucks!
COMMENT | Liking it alot! posted by : SMH 9/15/2007 11:27:11 AM
Liking what I hear. Very southern--sunday afternoon-bbq ribs-coors light drinking-summer breeze-blood sweat and tears rock! See you in Toronto Baby!
COMMENT | Hey idiots! posted by : rando 9/15/2007 11:46:32 AM
They're not a metalcore band. It's retro-heavy, not "I can play a million notes a second and shred out my vocal cords" heavy. If that's what you want, go listen to any one of the hundreds of generic, worthless new metal bands and shut your mouths about this one.
i like the new stuff; sounds like the Down we all know and love. Its kinda hard to really progress in the style of music that they play. I know they told us it would be heavy and all that, but what did you guys expect? Blast beats and cookie monster-vocals? haha
anyways, I LOVE this type of music. It just moves me in a way nothing else can, 'cept maybe thrash...
DOWN/METALLICA WORLD TOUR '08!!!!!! (little dream of mine)
COMMENT | just downloaded it... posted by : nodeerforamonth 9/15/2007 12:04:40 PM
VERY impressed!
COMMENT | the 1st song, "3 sun 1 star"... posted by : BOTTLESLAP 9/15/2007 12:13:07 PM
has a strong chris cornell/temple of the dog sound.
the entire disc is awesome.
track 8, beneath the tides is a fcking masterpiece.
COMMENT | Killer posted by : fatjimmorrison 9/15/2007 12:36:35 PM
should be a great album!
COMMENT | What do you expect? posted by : rozy157 9/15/2007 12:45:38 PM
It's a Down record, which means big southern-fried riffs and melody. If you guys want a new Pantera or Super-crap Ritual screamo record keep looking. I think Anselmo sounds the best he's sounded since the Cowboys From Hell and Vulgar records. Yes, folks, those were the records where he actually did some SINGING.
All four songs I've heard so far are better than anything I heard on Down II when Phil was a doped up mess.
COMMENT | This CD kicks ass... posted by : livingaftermidnight 9/15/2007 12:54:48 PM
...all the haters are on crack or something. Phil sounds the best he has in years!
The vocals on "On March The Saints" are so deep and incredible.
COMMENT | This is what's up posted by : monkeeass500 9/15/2007 1:23:44 PM
Down is by far the best fucking band out there as far as straight up, bad ass, song writing goes. They sound nothing like your Metalcore, Mall core, what ever the fuckin Shadows Fall, Killswitch, or whoever is at the top of all that New Wave Of Metal movement. I personally don't really get into all that stuff. Down just brings so much more to the table for me. I won't call anyone a douche for not digging on Down, because they obviously aint' for everybody. But for myself, Down is the standard for music today. For MetalBeer666, I'll need a full fucking report on the T-town show, because I'm still stuck in the war. Down/Metallica World Tour '08. I started that dream. This Way OF Life Has Become An Addiction!!!!!!!
COMMENT | Sounds pretty good posted by : RiotAct666 9/15/2007 1:24:29 PM
I will be BUYING the album. No downloading for me.
COMMENT | good stuff posted by : vas defferens 9/15/2007 1:46:57 PM
Sounds pretty much as I would have expected, which is not a bad thing. Phil does sound much better than he has in quite some time. Obviously when they said that the music was goint to be heavy they did not mean that it was going to be a death metal album by any means. It has more of a old school hard rock approach to it, more like Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple ect. This was not meant to sound like a Slayer album, and anyone who may have thought otherwise has apparently never heard any of this bands prior work.

I don't understand some of these comments. I have been listening to this album for 2 weeks and all i can say is that Phil Anselmo is fucking back. This album kicks so much ass!!!!!!! the end of N.O.D....WOW. every song is bad ass. Can't wait to see them again this is their best album to date. Thank you for putting out a true rock n roll/heavy metal album.............

Man I just loved On March The Saints! I preordered this badboy, I can't wait to get my hot little hands on it.
COMMENT | posted by : TrippyZippy 9/16/2007 9:44:57 AM
I listened to those 3 songs and like them, however, it won't compare to when I can buy the album and blast it loud enough to piss off the neighbors.
To those whining that it does not sound like the other 2 albums .... deal with it!!! COC's albums never sounded the same from one to the next so why would Down? Go listen to all the generic crap on the radio if that is what you want!
I've been listening to this whole cd for a couple of weeks now. I think it's okay. I like it better than Superjoint.
COMMENT | posted by : lummox42 9/16/2007 2:24:00 PM
Wow, Phil really sounds like a winded old man this time around.
COMMENT | I got it from a friend early posted by : music is good 9/16/2007 2:59:27 PM

ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

with the last COC album. If Pepper was singing, that's what we'd be listening to.

can't listen to these at work, but.... here's hoping III is way better than II, that one sucked (although ghosts of the mississippi was a damn fine tune) The first, NOLA, was classic. it will always be one of my faves.
