Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075678993244 Format: Enhanced Label: Atlantic Manufacturer: Atlantic MPN: 511244 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Atlantic Release Date: June 24, 2008 Studio: Atlantic Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Shinedown's highly anticipated third album, The Sound Of Madness, is due out on Atlantic Records on June 24, 2008. The record opens with lead single "Devour." Its heavy onslaught of ripping guitars and relentless drums would not sound out of place on a Guitar Hero soundtrack. Of the album, frontman Brent Smith says "In the seven years of this thing called Shinedown, I've seen a lot of different things - what we've all gone through on the road, things in our personal lives or witnessed firsthand through the fans that we've made and the relationships we've built with our audience. I think the biggest thing was I didn't want to sugarcoat the way life can be sometimes." Their face-melting rock comes as no surprise, considering that the band hails from sultry Jacksonville, Florida. Their 2003 debut album, Leave A Whisper, and sophomore follow-up, Us And Them, have been RIAA-certified platinum and gold respectively and they have had songs featured on the WWE, ESPN and in various video games. Shinedown will be out on the road this spring and summer, playing a handful of radio shows and outdoor festivals including Rock On The Range before setting out on their own headlining tour. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Emotion and Conviction = GREAT Hard Rock Album The unique feature about Shinedown is that they are able to balance between heavy rock to the ballads on offer. I quite like that the band appear to be taking chances instead of being content with doing the "same-old". For example "Second Chance" is slower and more of a melodic offering. The single "Second Chances" use a heavier string presence and the guys have ensured that they don't waste time on any of the tracks. It seems to mean that the singer's had a falling ...

Their second album Us and Them however was amazing. It was the soundtrack to my summer pretty much and rarely came out of my CD player. I burned myself out on it about two years ago and pretty much forgot about Shinedown. When this album came out, it went right over my head. When I saw it on the shelf, I got it instantly...And was disappointed. I thought most of the ... Read More Rating: - Wow, there best so far!!!I started listening to Shinedown by accident when they released their first CD (Leave A Whisper)and became a huge fan. Although I was kind of let down by their sophomore release (Us and Them), it was still decent. When they finally released their first single (Devour) for their Sound of Madness CD, I thought it was pretty good, but not outstanding. After getting their new CD, I can't stop listening to it. It just keeps getting better for me each time I hear it. My teenage daughter liked their ...

From Start to Finish, this album "rocks" and will definately not disappoint! ***** Rating: - HOLY S***!!!!This is the best album of 2008 BY FAR!!! EVERY song is amazing in it's own right. Every week I have a new favorite from it. Easily the best of their 3 albums. Hope these guys take off with this album...they deserve it!! |
