Attention Attention

Attention Attention is the sixth album, a concept work depicting the process of moving from self-destruction and isolation toward recovery, gathering Shinedown's heavy rock into something more narrative. It is also the first album fully produced by bassist Eric Bass, and the band builds a more personal, introspective world. From the opening "The Entrance" to the closing "Brilliant," a consistent story is drawn of one person rising from their darkest place. "Devil," "Get Up" and "Monsters" push the work's themes forward while using heavy guitar, electronic texture and melodic choruses. All are signature songs that reached number one on the Mainstream Rock chart. Musically approachable, the singing carries emotion that is not light. Not denying the darkness but depicting the strength to rise from it, the album vividly shows that the band's expression has become deeper and larger.
