Comment by Untold Kyle I remember listening to this on cold windy nights in the car with my mom and stepdad when i was younger Comment by Ivan Beecroft One of the GREATEST songs i've ever heard Comment by autumn<3 #Shinedown unity seriesWhether political or not, and the overall feeling is that this is more about encouraging individuality and critical review and not getting swept up in klout-based group thinking whilst highlighting the dangers a collective mindset can bring than planting a flag either side of the right / left dividing line, in and amongst a series of worthy heavy contemporary rock tracks, Shinedown have provoked a challenge on album seven.□its VeRY DooPee□ Comment by Tracy Miller That isn’t to say any of the tracks drop standards, they don’t, though when things end with the quirky ‘What You Wanted’, there is a feeling that the pacing and arrangement of the album could have been stronger. Where the album dynamics take a little getting used to is that our musical journey is broken up by the interjects of the AI host on Planet Zero, dropping hints of cynicism, leading to stark warnings that failure to adhere to pre-determined, standardised group behaviour will result in deletion… and a midsection run that cools the momentum a little. The guitars and Smith’s vocals are still front and centre, and the sound benefits from an unclustered approach that highlights the strength of the Shinedown songwriting. Under the production lead of Bass, Shinedown have stripped things back, removing the layers of synth and cinema that had embellished previous offerings, resulting in a more straight-forward alternative hard rock sound which sits nicely as a direct comparator to their contemporaries. Perhaps the overall lyrical message is prevalent to the well-meaning ‘Dysfunctional You’ and ‘A Symptom Of Being Human’ too, as, while some of the lyrics are on the clumsy side, the positivity and the intention of the songs is the more important element, particularly the invitation to be “the wonderful dysfunctional you”? Here is a thought – maybe it is not a binary thing… Indeed, the band stated on the album launch “It’s not a record for the right, it’s not a record for the left… it’s a record for all of us.” Freedom of speech has long been a vanguard of rock lyrics, and it is interesting that Shinedown’s challenge of cancel culture has been seen as evidence of an underlying conservatism, though lines about people being “woke, but not awake” and sections of the society being “Clueless and Dramatic” will invite comment, even if the stated intention is to encourage exploration of nuance and individuality. The chatter in the buildup to Shinedown ’s seventh album Planet Zero ( Atlantic Records ) has focused on the lyrics and subject matter and a new ground for a band who have stood up for unity, mental health support, and anti-bullying.
