He can rap with the best of them, as he proves on the verses of the track. On “Attention Attention”, Brent Smith shows he’s more than just a great vocalist. However, I hear a bit more experimentation with electronic drums, keyboards, and even a bit of rap on the title track. At its core, it’s a hard rock album, no question. The second single, “The Human Radio”, features some pretty cool lyrics, vocal effects, and an Eric Bass bass line that’s sure to get stuck in your head.Īs mentioned, there are some very diverse sounds on this release.

The band’s sixth release, Attention Attention, is no exception. ![]() Unlike many of today’s bands who have a couple hits, then stick to that formula for subsequent releases, Shinedown‘s sound is constantly changing, while staying true to their hard rock roots. Since their major label debut in 2003, Leave a Whisper, Shinedown‘s sound has evolved with each release. The quartet bring their immense talents to bear on this album, the successor 2015’s Threat to Survival. Shinedown still consists of vocalist Brent Smith, guitarist Zach Myers, bassist Eric Bass, and drummer Barry Kerch.
