The track comes off the group's latest album, "Over the Under", which was released on September 25, 2007 through ILG/Warner Music Group (one day earlier internationally via Roadrunner Records). The LP was issued in Europe as a limited-edition digipack CD featuring the bonus track "Invest in Fear".

1st! (And probably only...)
Down is amazing on record and live, and they are probably the most underrated rock/metal band still working today!

underrated...no.

New album had two good songs and the rest were mediocre. Overrated maybe.

Come back to the UK!

I saw them in April at B'ham but really wanna see them again. They are the best band I have seen live.

At first I hated the new album as it was nothing compared to NOLA but now I actually really love it, one of the best albums in recent years. I'd say it isn't overrated but probably didn't deserve the 10/10 Metal Hammer had given it.
