From amazon.com Anyone already familiar with Shinedown will realise the talent lead singer Brent Smith has, and he uses it to the full degree in this stunning album. They say they wanted it to be harder and their previous albums, but that hasn t affected the creativity and quality of the band. They haven t strayed too far from what made them great in their first two albums, they still have that spine of Shinedown, but there s an extra edge which appears from a quicker tempo and heavy rhythem, brilliantly constructed around non-typical and inventive lyrics. From the truely upbeat Devour and Cry For Help, to the more progressive What A Shame and Breaking Inside, this is as complete an album as I ve ever heard. I ve recommended several friends to Shinedown, and every single one has liked them. They need to seriosuly look at the UK as there s a serious market for them! Awesome!
