Product Description
Product Details
Performer Notes
  • The Jesus Lizard: David Yow (vocals); Duane Denison (guitar); David Wm. Sims (bass); Mac McNeilly (drums).
  • Recorded at Chicago Recording Company, Chicago, Illinois in early 1994.
  • All songs written or co-written by The Jesus Lizard.
  • While it was regarded as something of a disappointment when it was first released in 1994, in retrospect, Down stands as the last really vital album from the Jesus Lizard. It lacks the same degree of bone-crushing force and sweaty psychosis that made Goat and Liar instant classics (the band seems to be aiming for a slightly more subtle approach this time out), and most of the songs take a bit longer to sink in. But bassist David Sims and drummer Mac McNeilly were still capable of connecting like Mike Tyson against a speed bag on the heavy tunes, Duane Denison's sheets of chrome-plated guitar are as gloriously fragmented as ever, and there's never been a rock vocalist before or since quite like David Yow. It was also the last Jesus Lizard album to benefit from Steve Albini's spare, dry recording; if ever there was a band that didn't take to a more "hands-on," "user-friendly" production, it was the Jesus Lizard, and between Albini's decision not to work with the group again after they signed to Capitol Records and the departure of drummer McNeilly, this group was never the same in the studio again. Liar was the greatest recorded moment for the Jesus Lizard, but Down captured one of the most powerful American bands of the 1990s in their last gasp of twisted glory. ~ Mark Deming
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (12/15/94, p.98) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...The Jesus Lizard emit pure evil in their nihilistic songs, though they seem as much confused victims of the dark force as posessors of it..."

Q (10/94, p.116) - 3 Stars - Good - "...They're one of the few underground American bands to have risen above the post-grunge, sub-metal malaise....A swelling mosh pit of trashy, 12-bar blues, swamp rock and rumbling, raw punk..."

Melody Maker (8/27/94, p.40) - "...Musically, it presses all the right moshpit buttons--rhythm section that sounds like it's tumbling down several flights of stairs, guitars grinding and chords spiralling off at bleak tangents..."

Musician (8/94, p.86) - "...You don't listen to the Jesus Lizard for generational angst delineated in post-modern iambic pentameter, but for their rhythmic pummel..."

NME (Magazine) (8/27/94, p.36) - 8 - Excellent - "...on the evidence of "DOWN," [The Jesus Lizard] will continue to consolodate their position as one of the world's greatest exponents of challenging, compelling, and deeply disturbing sonic dementia..."
