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.

 Superb November 19, 2008
I highly recommend this cd. It is good fun hard rock coupled with some wonderfully moving songs intermixed. I liked this so much I purchased their prior cd's and they are great also!
awsome November 12, 2008
This is a great CD. It has a little bit of everything. Shinedown is one of those few bands that can pull anything off. If they were to sing the phone book you could still rock out to it.
Incredible Album. Lives Up to the Hype. October 18, 2008
I'm not a Shinedown fan. Before this album, I was only familiar with their song, 'I Dare You.' I was searching Amazon.com for some kind of rock music to put on my Oakley Thumps and listen to while running. After reading the positive reviews, I decided to check this out. I'm 38 and this is one of the best rock albums I've heard. At first, I liked the fast-paced rock songs, but wasn't too enthused about the slower ones. After listening to the lyrics over and over, I now love every song on the album.
If you listen to no other song on the album, download 'Sound of Madness.' That song will rip your skull open, take your brain out, pound it on the pavement, then put it back. When I first bought the album I couldn't stop playing it. I still can't.
If you like rock (FYI - Pearl Jam Ten is my favorite album ever), I think you'll like this.
Simply Amazing October 16, 2008
I was a little bit skeptic when I bought this album. It was my first exploration into the world of Shinedown. Luckily, when I listened to the album for the first time I could not find a song that I didn't like. Each and every one is absolutely perfect. It has fast songs like Devour and Sin With a Grin, plus slower songs like If You Only Knew and What A Shame.
I let my mom borrow the cd to listen to in her car soon after I got it. Now, she is in love with it too and refuses to give it back.
This album has quickly become one of my favorite albums of all time, which is no small feat considering I have amassed almost 5,000 songs in my collection. I recommend this album to anyone who wants to rock and who just loves great music. You can't go wrong with The Sound of Madness.
 Great band October 9, 2008
I saw Shinedown on Jay Leno, and it isn't often that a band impresses me. I bought the CD and am very pleased with it. Of course, there are a few songs I don't particularly care for, but the majority of them are really great. I'm glad I made the (small) investment for the CD. It was certainly worth it.
