I thought that "I Dare You" song was decent at first, but it gets old fast.

Same thing with Devour, and those are the only songs I have ever liked by them. They're just another generic radio hard-rock band. They're better than some of the other bands in that classification like Hinder, but that's not really an accomplishment. Freddy Championship Contender.

I liked them for a while but then I started listening to more of their shit, they're pretty overrated. I liked their cover of Simple Man but it can't touch the original. Silly people saying it's better then Skynyrd's version. Lancer Most Surreptitious Poster. Joined: Jul 27, Messages: Likes Received: It's okay Sign Guy, I'm here to back you up. Shinedown has consistently been one of my favorite bands since they came onto the scene a few years ago.

Their first single, "Fly From the Inside," wasn't my cup of tea. But when they released "Burning Bright," I was hooked. That song connected with me for some reason. Their second album was awesome as well. For those of you that judge them based on the songs played on mainstream radio that's no reason to fairly judge any band , Us And Them offers plenty of songs with heart and emotion.

They display a good range from the "generic hard rock" you guys despise to slow, melodic, heavy stuff. Their latest album, The Sound of Madness , is probably their most advanced work to date. You have the radio-ready singles like "Devour" and "The Sound of Madness," but the rest of the album is nothing like those songs. Most of the songs deal with longing, and being forgotten. It's closed-minded and immature to judge a band based on what you hear on the radio. I hardly ever listen to mainstream radio, because it is not a good gauge on the diversity of bands.

I have to agree that there are shitty bands in the group Shinedown has been unfairly placed in: Hinder, Nickelback, etc. The fact that they sound like about million other bands was one of the main things I didn't like about them.

Another issue is that sound, which they share with a lot of crappy bar bands, sounds like all the worst aspects of Alice in Chains, Tool, and lates era Metallica all rolled into one. Heard a few of their popular songs and did not dig them too much, so I didnt take the time to care about them too much. From the songs I did hear, they didnt sounds like anything out of the ordinary. Why do you hate Shinedown???
