Well. I have heard the Down to Nothing songs forever, and I love DTN. Anyone that knows me for sure knows that. Anyway, I didn't have a chance to pick this CD up until the other day when I went to the city to buy comic books. I saw it there, so I was like I am going to buy it.
The Down To Nothing songs are in my opinion like the tracks they didn't use for The Most. It's stays in that line. They used the same formula for this, compared to like the little subtle changes in the other releases. My Favorite is Shot Down. That song just pumps me up. But I do have to admit the lirics in Watered Down were kinda weak and generic.
Now coming to that other band 50 Lions. First of all, I have only read about that band, and heard it once in myspace. But from what I heard before. They were just another heavy band, nothing special. That translates to their side of the Split. It's just pretty much generic heavy hardcore, even in a way trying to hard to be like DTN. Something I didn't hear in the other stuff. I mean, it's not bad for what it is, but I just can't dig it as much as the DTN songs.
Although I have to admit that I love the idea of bands from different countries doing split albums. Specially for a band like 50 Lions. Even thought they're not the band I would usually listen to, I know kids that definitely dig that, and that's good for them. Gives exposure to bands from different places, not your usual European or American band. This gives us a taste of what's going on in the Land Down Under.
