downset on the bottom.......2007-02-07

this album is good but lost some of the fire and flavor of the first two albums

Otro gran disco d Downset.......2004-06-22

Es un disco con una produccion mas compacta y aunq me gusta menos q los otros cds, me parece muy bueno

I WAITED FOUR YEARS FOR THIS?!.......2004-05-21

Yes. It was four years since I got their DO WE SPEAK A DEAD LANGUAGE LP and a little over three years since I saw them live. These guys should have taken only two years off; their musical direction has changed from 'mosh-core' (see early BIOHAZARD) to a sort of nu-metal/rock thing. The clean vocals are awful, Rey (singer.) There is also some rather humiliating dancehall/reggae type vocals done on a few of the songs. Furthermore, the previous release by this band was the best so far for the variation of fast thrashing hardcore songs and heavy mosh grooves. CHECK YOUR PEOPLE has, if I remember correctly, not one fast hardcore/punk song on the album. Thats quite upsetting to me folks. Interestingly there are some AC/DC like hooks thrown here and there on some of the songs like that of 'Together.' If there was some 'saving grace' to this album it would be Rey's lyrics which maintain their social and political stances which were still under development of the last two albums. This overall is a bad downset. album.

what a dissapointment!.......2004-01-12

I followed this band's career from their first album, and I loved both that, and their second CD. But with this one, something just hadn't clicked in my head, for I fail to see anything worth mentioning here.
Everything that has made Downset such a good band to me is gone here, no passion, no inspiration, no softly spoken words delivering the message (like there were so many on their 1st CD). Instead we have a clear nu-metal influence plastered on an old-school-hardcore base, and vocals that try to sound angry, instead ending up sounding tired. And, if that is not enough, Ray Oropeza even tries to sing clear on a couple of tracks. And what an awful attempts these are!

To give this album some credit, I found only 4 songs (of 13 total) that I like, that remind me of their early glory days. Call me old-fashioned, or close-minded, whatever, but I can't give this one more than 3 stars. 3 stars here meaning mostly indifference.

Hope this is not their final CD, and Downset will succeed in exiting in style, just like RATM did.

Detach yourself from this place............2002-06-09

Having followed this band's career since the eponymous album, I do not find the RATM comparisons fair to both bands. OK, they both incorporate rap-based rhythms and breakdowns, they both write inciteful, politically-charged lyrics, their singers are both [mad]...blah blah. But when you stop listening and actually start HEARING, you will find that RATM is an exceptionally talented and versatile RAP band (such as THE ROOTS) tearing it up in the metal/punk/hardcore vein while Downset shake things up with a more oldschool Agnostic Front/Gorilla Biscuits feel.
Of course, just my humble opinion. I personally prefer this album over the second, but stronger songs are just few and far between....Standout tracks "No Home", the title track, and "Tear us Apart" redeem the album from falling into a shoddy mess with the spacing. Had all the strong tracks been at the beginning of the disc, everything else seems like so much filler. I cannot bring myself to give this more than three stars even though I totally respect the band and their vision. Maybe if the next album was shorter and more cohesive (think HATEBREED's first). Thanks.
