![]() Their latest single, “Daylight,” which lands fifteen songs in, highlights the hope of friendship and loved ones: “It’s amazing what the hard times can reveal Like who shows up, who walks away and who’s for real.” Hindsight can be 20/20 and you can finally see the ones that were there in the dark when you couldn’t see what was in front of you. They continue to follow the pulse of the times and lock into the thoughts and visions of the world around them.Īnd Planet Zero has the bull by the horns. The band has no age limit, has no time date stickered to their foreheads. Kids gravitate to their music like proverbial moths to a bright flame while the older adults nod their heads in familiarity of symbolism. Even the covers they have chosen to retranslate hum with original vibrations. Repercussions both good and harmful become a day-to-day journey to fix or coast along on the cloud of happiness or tears. If there is anything to be said about Shinedown, it’s that their music never slacks when it comes to the honesty of human emotions and what those feelings lead to physically. Exposing itself to be twenty tracks, ranging from twenty-two seconds to full-blown four minute rockers, the album breathes with reality. The title track serving as the first single whetted the appetite of fans back in January, eliciting cravings for what was to come. Planet Zero was originally supposed to be released in late April but because of some production details it was pushed back to the mid-summer, which excitedly, was this past Friday, July 1 st. Small details in the songs are important.Shinedown fans have been waiting a little longer than they expected for the new album to show itself. Listen in the car or with good earbuds or noise cancelling headphones. I do feel like it's missing something as a whole, but I can't quite put my finger on it.Įdit: Also, don't listen to it through just your phone speaker. Honestly, Dysfunctional You and Symptom of Being Human are two of their most powerful songs ever written and I would put them both above Get Up and Daylight. Overall it's a solid album and there is a perfect mix of bangers and ballads. I think Eric did a fantastic job producing this and, as a bass player myself, I love that his playing is more prominently featured on this album. The closest one to that is What You Wanted but I still like it enough to just let it play through. I don't feel like there are any songs on here that are an absolute must skip. If I wanted to listen to AA, I would just fire up that album, for example. I very much appreciate that they will not make the same album twice. It's not better than AA but it's a solid follow-up. After doing this, the album made much more sense and felt like a Shinedown album. What I did was created a playlist without the interludes and played it start to finish a few times because you know you'll miss those minor details that you'll pick up on consecutive listens. At first it felt like they met their intention with this album but for a Shinedown album it was a miss. Just felt kind of all over the place and then interludes could've been done without. ![]()
