Classic Album Review: Sevendust | Southside Double-Wide: Acoustic Live

The post-grunge bruisers' live LP is like a set of $1,000 rims on a 1997 Honda Civic.

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


For a fairly generic bunch of brooding alt-metal grudge-rockers, Sevendust are OK, I guess.

And yeah, their live acoustic CD and DVD Southside Double-Wide — taped last year on their Georgia home turf — is a well-executed and eminently listenable set, even if it is a pretty standard Unplugged-type gig. But packaging the whole affair in a spacious Collector’s Edition box (complete with postcards, fan-penned liner notes and Sevendust guitar pick) makes about as much sense as putting $1,000 rims on your 1997 Honda Civic. Sure, it looks swell — but good luck finding somebody who appreciates it. And somebody who wants to buy it.
