 POLL: Bacon Down South- Three Up Two Down
Image

The anticipation in the press leading up to Bacon Down South's third record was met only by the swirl of controversy surrounding its release. Now, years later, Maplitonia's rawk critics reassess- does it still hold up? Did it ever? Brilliant, or bullshit?

Discuss. :snax:

Even I know your work well enough to pick that out as your own creation, Snaxie.

Well, yes, it's obviously complete nonsense. :red:

But is it a good record? :idk:

Oh, right, their first one for the major label.

It is okay, the earlier records are just so much better. :idk:

I do like that they kept with the sheep theme for the covers though.

I think you're just hyper-sensitive to change, Chris. Clearly the progressive elements on this album are a little... "beyond you". :red: This was clearly an older, more mature Bacon Down South on this record. I think you need to take that into account.

Yo, it is not "beyond me", bitch. A group of musicians simply does not "mature" as fast as these guys supposedly did in the what, all of a year, between this one and the previous. Less than a year even.

That shit just screams "ghost writer with a pile of pro studio players" to me. And really, that is just supported by the fact that they can barely even KIND OF play this shit live. Maybe they should be fucking touring with the studio hired guns who actually recorded the record, eh? Or at least, perhaps with the protools engineer who fucking "fixed" it?

The fact is, this record is hardly the product of the doods who make up Bacon Down South. Just, i guess that looks better on the cover than "Nameless Session Musicians" or "Pro-tools"(which would probably represent a copyright infringement on Avid, anyhow). :idk: :red:

As an aside, i do enjoy that the closest that we get to flame wars on this forums, are over things that don't actually exist. :isay:

I actually googled this in hope that it was a real band. Bacon Down South is a fucking awesome band name.
