Us & Them is my favorite Shinedown record, and Shed Some Light is probably my favorite song. I do like how they have a fresh sound on every album though. Amaryllis surprised me with how good it was top to bottom, although some may not agree. The first 2 albums will always hold a special place in...

Awyea, I think every member in the band should feel good about every song on the record. If somebody isn't sure of a track, don't put it on the album. There were some of those on ABIII But then we wouldn't have gotten Life Must Go On, which is one of my favorite ballads they've written. I see where...

I remember from interviews with Mark and Myles they said that he didn't practice, and that definately shows. He's definately a good drummer, and I know not everyone really cares about drum tracks, but I get the impression Scott just walks into rehearsals and drums for a while, without really paying...

Wow, great catch Basti.

In Your Room is a pretty emotional song, and I think Break In is an amazing piano ballad. The first 4 songs on the record rock hard, I think it's the back half that starts to fall off a bit imo. I think Rock Show, Daughters of Darkness, and American Boys are all kind of weak personally. I like the a...

Post away!!

Excellent point, Andy. But what do I do for the next 29 days?

Listen to Halestorm!!

I knew I liked you for a reason Greg.

These guys are actually the only band I've met after a show. They're all incredibly down to earth. Can't get enough of Lzzy's voice.

Maybe a bit of a 30 Seconds to Mars influence in there? I dig the first track you posted. I'll give the 2nd one a listen too.

Good gracious Thrav I was just messing with ya lol.

You do realize Jim can delete any post he wants? lol

Breathe Again?

Haha no it's cool. I recognized who you were pretty quickly, but it just threw me off for a second. I've seen you post about these guys a lot. Any song you'd suggest trying first?

Gonna have to get used to your name change Benji lol.

Thrav you missed a couple pixels while erasing the black background.

We've got Tru's album to look forward to though Greg.
