Once again Shinedown has done it. Great CD- I'm not alright, I'll follow you and My name are my new favorite songs. I love you guys, thanks for once again speaking to my soul. I have followed you from the very beginning and I will always be listening for what's next and telling everyone I come in contact with how great your music really is.

How do you go stream the new album? We bought early entry tickets and it was supposed to come with free stream of Amaryllis and never got info on it. :( I'm anxious to hear it! I guess the actual CD is coming in the mail.

Am I alone in thinking the Album is a bit overproduced? The band and songs are strong, but there are so many effects and things to blend out "imperfections" going on, that even Brent's voice gets lost in the mix a bit. Considering how strong of a singer he is, thats a lot of mixing. Sound of Madness had just enough mixing to make it a good commercial album without sacrificing the nature of the band.. this takes it a bit too far. You take a stand out, incredible band, and blend them until they almost sound like everything else on the radio.

Dont get me wrong, there are great tracks on the album, but had they not overmixed it, there would have been incredible tracks on the album.
Still cant wait for the live show. Take all the studio BS, throw it out, and just rock. They always rock live, so im not worried about that in the least. :)

this has got to be their strongest album yet! I am further convinced that Brent has one of, if not the best voice is music today!!!

This shit rocks!!!

Very strong. Barry's drums rock. When the bathroom mirror rattles upstairs... it's loud!

i was also hoping for some special B-Side tracks for fanclub members. Some of my favorite stuff from the last album was B-Side ... Diamond Eyes anyone? :)

Going through my first listen. Not bad at all. There are definitely some strong tracks on here. Lots of cross over music to make them money too. Of course by the 3rd listen ill be singing along.. lol

Listen, I am super excited about the new music and can't wait for the cd, but with the amount of songs these guys have written why not give us a special edition cd? I would love a few demos, live tracks, covers from the guys!

I'mstreaming it for a 3rd time :) I loved the reviews I have read so farand haveto say I agree with the fabulous things said. I do thinkit is poppier than I had expectedbut not exactly in a bad way.It was a pleasant surprise actually. The rock is there and everyone is kick-ass at what they do best IMO. Definitely a great way to start spring!

OH MY GOD! After reading that review it gets me even more excited! IM SO ANXIOUS!! Also I can't wait to hear those two ballad songs, I love ballad songs and Shinedown is always great at writing those!

I'm really happy that For My Sake and My Name (Wearing Me Out) are heavy songs :-) . That means we have a 6 to 6 ratio of heavy songs to softer songs!
