iTunes Review
Shinedown wrote 40 songs for The Sound Of Madness, picking 11 of the best to make the cut. Then they road tested four favorites, measuring audience reactions to gauge which two were hit worthy. "Devour" won in spades, followed by the title track. Throwing relentless punches and loaded with razor sharp hooks, "Devour" sets the tone with such victorious ferocity that it was licensed as the theme song for World Wrestling Entertainment's June, 2008 pay-per-view event, Night of Champions, as well as the soundtrack to EA Sports' "Madden NFL 09" video game, in addition to which it was chosen to be featured on ESPN throughout the 2008 major league baseball season. A pounding bass drum and sinister guitar riff begin "Sound Of Madness" as sneering singer Brent Smith rallies young outcasts and deserters. If every angry pariah listened to this call to arms simultaneously, there could be riots and fires in the streets. That an album this heavy and angry hit mainstream radio tells you something about the troubled times, circa summer 2008. From the three bonus cuts, "Energy" is the most driving, "I Own You" is the catchiest and "Son Of Sam" sounds tough as nails.
Customer Reviews
Shinedown DELIVERS!!!!!
This album is a great one and I will listen to it months, maybe even years from now. I simply cannot stop listening to it; yes, it is that amazing!!!! I am going to rate each song below: Devour - Great first single, was a little repetitive, but nontheless a great song 10/10 Sound of Madness - This is one of my favorite songs on the album. Great guitar and lyrics 10/10 Second Chance - Good song with strong support 8/10 Cry for Help - This song is one of the heavier songs and it definatly ROCKS! 9/10 The Crow & the Butterfly - This is what the artwork for the album cover was derived from. It is a slower song, but it definatley is a good song. 8/10 If You Only Knew - Good song, also slow 7/10 Sin With a Grin - This song is AWESOME! I recommend it to everyone who likes hard rock 9.9/10 What a Shame - Awesome slow song, because it has beautiful lyrics and it is also one of my favorites off this album! 9.5/10 Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide - Another hard rock song that is VERY good..catchy too.. 9/10 Breaking Inside - Good song by Shinedown. Another sort-of slow song 9/10 Call Me - Great closer! It sounds like the old Shinedown, to prove that they haven't changed completely 9.4/10 Bonus Tracks - I have not heard any of the bonus tracks completly, but I Own You sounds good from the preveiw that I heard. All in all: BUY THIS ALBUM!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
Shinedown is back!
Shinedown is back with a new sound. I'll admit that they changed a little after "Leave a Whisper" but in a good way. And they did great acoustics of "Some Day", "Save Me", and "I Dare You" And I have grown so used to listening to old shinedown everyday. Now on the radio I hear "Devour" and think "WTF. Is this shinedown?" But I grow accustomed to it and grow to love it. I listened to the album on their site and IT IS AMAZING. You'd never think of shinedown trying something heavy. But "Devour", "Second Chance" and "Cry for Help" shows they can. Those tracks are also awesome. Almost every track is pretty much good. The only track I am not too fond of is "The Crow & The Butterfly" I missed the chance to see them live and I regret it. I hope they tour back here soon :( But this new CD is great. I love it when an artist tries something new. It usually ends up being good. And this new sound is just great. I think old fans of shinedown and new ones will love this album :) I recommend this CD to everyone I know.
Third Time is a Charm
With their third album Shinedown has truly made a masterpiece. Shinedown is known for amazin lyrics and vocals with strong instrumentals to back that all up. This release just furthers their legendary run. Their first single "Devour" hits fast and hard, but this album truly shines with their slower and more lyrically deep songs. "Second Chance", "The Crow & the Butterfly", "Breaking Inside", and "Call Me" are all simply amazing. This album is not all about amazing vocals and lyrics, but strong and intricate instrumentals as well. Shinedown is truly a band of the ages and will continue to push their music to the edge, and succed at that. This album has so many hits lined up for the second half of the year. By far the best album I have downloaded this year, you will in no way regret this purchase. Thank you Shinedown for another masterpiece.
