The length of the song is very appropriate considering it's a little under 4 minutes. I love the guitar riffs, it's almost like the flames are coming out of them. I don’t know if anyone thinks that deep into the song like me, but that’s the mix of feelings I’ve been getting from it. He is very detail oriented, he makes sure every detail is taken into consideration.

We were successful because of his planning and attention to detail. His planning and attention to detail is impeccable. The best part about him is his attention to detail. Or you can be like your father who is a pyro, to me that means abusive or controlling father who likes to tear people down and just be superior over everyone.

You can either be a burnout like your mom, let people walk over you and just surrender every chance you get and just feel bad all the time. Are they going to continue down their path that their parents made for them, or pick the path they can make for themselves. The song starts off asking a question like ‘what’s gonna happen next?’, to me it’s like the person in the song is asking what are they going to do. Not just for the music, but also for the story it tells as a whole and the many different smaller parts of the story as told through the individual songs.⌇ So PYRO might be one of the most difficult songs so far on this list, but in my opinion this one deserves all the attention it can get. It’s often a little chaotic with random small thoughts slipping between your main thoughts, some more distracting than others, which makes it logical for all these instruments to be part of the song in the way they are.Īll in all, I would definitely recommend ATTENTION ATTENTION. Our own human radio, our mindset, is never really clear. Perhaps a bit heavy on instruments, but when it comes to the thought behind the album it makes sense. The pop-elements are catchy and infectious, the focus on the bass is refreshing to hear and the overall sound of the song is just well built. Nearing the end of the album, THE HUMAN RADIO brings forth a mix of pop-elements, a good bass groove and a heavy rock sound. It conveys the message that we all need to get real and realize we’re not as special as we perceive ourselves to be, a message that I can get behind, especially in this day and age. It’s a message that is often difficult to say without sounding condescending. SPECIAL brings forth a much needed wake-up call. This song means to inspire and give you the energy to “get up and get a move on”. Shinedown wouldn’t be Shinedown if we didn’t get a song that includes the combination of piano and Brent Smith’s vocals and thus we end up with GET UP, the point in the album where the individual is getting on top of things again. What can you do when your mother is a burnout and your daddy is a pyro? You set fire to the family tree! Though you might not like every part of the album, even the ‘less interesting’ songs are part of a bigger picture and that’s what makes them good even if they don’t match your precise music preferences. The usage of an entire album as a means to tell a story instead of limiting it to just one song allows for a much broader approach to the subject. MONSTERS can hit close to home or just be another good Shinedown song, which is something I really like about this concept album. MONSTERS discusses the ‘inner demons’ we all face, some more than others. PYRO has an ominous intro and then converts into a heavy rock song about family issues. The slight disappointment awakened by the previously discussed song is hugely uplifted by PYRO and MONSTERS. Sadly KILL YOUR CONSCIENCE is rather light on guitars, and where guitars are part of the song, their volume is often quite a bit lower than that of the other instruments. Luckily as soon as the vocals and the drums kicked in, that became a lot easier. Considering the album also has songs with a more easy listening, pop-rock feel, I’m very pleased the focus remained on showcasing the Shinedown we all know and love.Īt the start of KILL YOUR CONSCIENCE I had to focus on not thinking about AWOLNATION’s Sail. It serves as both an introduction to the (concept) album and it’s simply a good, heavy song. It’s no surprise that this song was the first to receive a music video. It’s the Brent Smith effect.Īs the album starts from a deep, dark place, DEVIL immediately brings forth the heavy Shinedown feel. But those who know Shinedown from earlier works will know that even the less heavy songs are worth listening to.

The album deals with multiple music themes, a mix that goes from heavy rock music to a mellow ‘feel good’ vibe.

Through the course of the album, the individual deals with his issues and thus the tone of the album also changes gradually. Shinedown is back with a new album! Besides that ATTENTION ATTENTION is the band’s sixth album, it’s also a concept album that tells the story of an individual coming from a bad mental and emotional place.
