Free Music Notes for Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow
Free Music Review: Certainly not Nola
Hit: 3 Stars
What can I say about Down II? It's ok. It doesn't come close to the intensity or punchy agressiveness of Nola in any way. It's more of a southern rock feel on most of the songs. It's not terrible, but if you bought it (like I did) expecting more of the electricity of their first album, you'll likely be a bit disappointed.
Still, there are some great songs on the album. It's got a good feel and some solid songwriting. It's just not the jewel that their first one was.
Overall - If you're a big fan of the band, get it. If you're a big fan of the first album, probably oughta borrow it from a buddy first and hear what you're getting before you drop the coin on it.
Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow Poster
In 1995, some of rock & roll's most notorious--and well-respected--beer drinkers and hell-raisers stepped outside the bounds of their respective bands to form a sort of underground supergroup. That instantly legendary cult band, Down, featuring Pantera's Philip Anselmo and Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity's Pepper Keenan, Crowbar's Kirk Windstein and Eye Hate God's Jimmy Bower, shared a common birthplace in New Orleans, a love for Black Sabbath, and if the songs "The Seed" and "Doobinterlude" are any indication, a propensity for a certain leafy substance. On this headbanging, 15-track follow-up to 1995's Nola, Down once again serve up a sludgy, sonic stew of Sabbath-influenced heaviness. Recorded in Louisiana, Down II has the swampy sounds, stoner-rock vibe, and dirt-bag patina of authentic, deeply rooted old-school rock 'n' metal. From the stripped down, gently creepy "Where I'm Going," featuring dobro, farfisa, and Hammond organ to the '70s metallic grind-groove of "Lysergik Funeral Procession" to the Southern-fried midtempo "Stained Glass Cross" to trippier, party-time entries, Down II provides an apt soundtrack for those still celebrating the dazed and confused lifestyle. --Katherine TurmanPhil Anselmo (Pantera), Pepper Keenan (Corrosion of Conformity), Kirk Windstein (Crowbar), and Todd Strange (Eyehategod) come back for round 2 with an album of heavy, swampy, southern rock.15 tracks. Elektra. 2002.
