Why do you hate Shinedown??? (lyrics, metal, rock, debut album)

Zaraki Kenpachi · 10-02-2008, 09:30 AM

I admit their second album wasnt all that great however their debut album, Leave a Whisper, was rather stunning.

Highlights of the album include: Fly From Inside, Better Version, Lost in the Crowd, Buring Bright, Stranger Inside, and 45. I really dont know if I like Better Version or Lost in the Crowd the most, but damn I listen to'em A LOT.

I am not an afficianado by any means and most people I know dont listen to Rock, so I'd love to hear the negatives that anyone may have.

I thought the music and the lyrics were really good while the vocals were appropriate at worst.

First off, what is different about Shinedown. Secondly, how much experience do you have with post-grunge?

I don't hate them. I actually rather used to like them. I'm at the ambivalent stage now.

Because they aren't good?

because they are an average rock band.... i mean there's definitely worse things out there but they don't do anything remarkable

post-grunge tends to go hand in hand with generic american radio fodder

I don't hate Shinedown. They're not legendary, but they're not bad. I used to be a big fan until, you know, I got better taste.

Who?

-because they have potential to accually be good, but for some reason it only shows in like 2 songs.
