album review
On Shinedown's third album, The Sound of Madness, the Jacksonville-based band hits every post-grunge expectation: winding up the guitar riffs with thin, flattened distortion; pumping up rhythms with steroids; punctuating melodies with familiar fills; and writing vaguely inspirational lyrics that come close to confirming the group's rumored Christian rock origins. Their precision is accentuated by producer Rob Cavallo's pristine production, digitally designed to push Shinedown over into the big leagues where they can have the occasional adult rock power ballad hit without losing their testosterone-fueled audience. Nothing is left to chance, and that's the way Shinedown's fans like it. Some of those fans -- the ones who like to see the band on the WWE, where "Devour," the first song on The Sound of Madness and its first single, is 2008's Night of Champions theme song -- may carp slightly about that slight increase in gloss and almost imperceptible uptick in power ballads, but most won't notice these subtle shifts as Shinedown serve up what they always have: active modern rock embodying the sound of post-grunge in the new millennium. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

- This album is like nothing I have heard before, the Drums and Bass make the songs heavy in a way that no other has matched before... as for the songs ... there isn't a bad one. If you only knew is the amazing hidden gem on this cd you need to listen to... I give this cd a 9.5 out of 10

- shinedown has to be one of the best bands ever and this cd shows it! The cd has a mix of not only good hard rock guitar playing but has one of the best vocal musicians out their. This is possibly one of their best cds.
