Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow is the second studio album by American band Down, released on March 26, 2002.
The band wanted the album to have a "bluesy" feel, so they moved into Phil Anselmo's barn for the recording.
[2] Also in 2002, the band recorded an acoustic version of "Stone the Crow" that was never officially released although it can be heard on YouTube.
Blabbermouth reviewer Borivoj Krgin stated, "Down II appears to have been thrown together more haphazardly, with much of the material falling short of the standard set by Down's classic debut offering.
"[7] However, UK critics were more enthusiastic, with Metal Hammer awarding the album 8/10 and Rock Sound declaring it "a storming experience from the depths" and rating it at 4/5.
