The Sound Of Madness

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.

User Reviews about The Sound Of Madness

The first Shinedown album I have ever listened to, but I am definitely going to pick up the rest of them. Good, solid rock sound. This guy can frikin belt it out. His voice is amazing. Start to finish, this album is superb. Ignore the one-star reviews about enhanced cds that don't work right, or people pissed off because they have to listen to the same radio station at work all day long. This record is great. In a time with so much garbage being peddled to us by floundering record companies, a band like this stands out with great music. -- Excellent

After hearing one or two songs on the radio, I decided to listen to the whole CD and I was amazed of how well produced their songs are. There wasn't one song I skipped! A must-have for everyone who likes Rock music. -- Geat album
