    shinedown is the best new band i've heard for hard rock in a long time. love that guys voice and style. his vocal lines can remind me of chris cornell, which is great for me.

    definitely a good band in this awful time for new musical talent.

    their lyrics are impressive and their overall sound is enjoyable.

    wouldn't mind getting to see them live if their tix are affordable.

    we always keep looking for the next band to take the torch from Pearl Jam and do socially good things with their music....maybe this band might be the one when PJ is ready to hand off?

    As much as I like Shinedown, no way are they even approaching the league of Pearl Jam, not by a long shot.

    I heard one of their songs, 45, in the Hard Rock Cafe. I thought it was good, the singers got a really good voice :)

    How could some of you compare Shinedown to shitty bands like Hinder and Buckcherry? GTFOH!

    Though Shinedown may not be the greatest band in the world, they are one of the better mainstream bands out there today. Give them that much credit at least. Brent Smith has one of the best voices in rock & roll, their songwriting puts the Hinder's and Buckcherry's to shame, and the band puts out quality songs with dynamic range (unlike a lot of other mainstream bands out there). Us and Them wasn't as good as their debut, Leave A Whisper, but is a decent album nevertheless. I am anticipating their third album and am interested in seeing what direction they will take.

    As for their concerts, they seem to put on a better show in small, intimate venues and are not exactly "arena rockers" yet (10 Years, for instance, is much better than Shinedown in this regard). Hopefully, over time, they will be like Pearl Jam and change up their setlists. We'll see.

    theyre a great album and radio band, but they suck live, i mean horrible. It was one of the worst concerts ive ever been to.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    How are these guys not talked about more? Brent’s voice is incredible and the rest of the band is extremely talented. One of the few bands where I could listen to every song they have put out and not skip one. 

    Listen to songs like 45, What a Shame, I’ll Follow You and sooooo many more and tell me they aren’t incredible. (Especially live/acoustic versions of 45.. haunting)

    I have seen them live twice and it’s beautiful. The kind of show where you never want it to end and your hair is standing up on your arms the entire time.

    I consider Shinedown one of my favorite bands. 365 is incredibly boring, but probably appeals to the masses. Dance Kid is good, needs a few more listens.
