Title: Absolute Brilliance
Review: Like some of the earlier reviewers.... 'Us & Them' was not what I expected... Track 2 "Heroes" & the first radio release, track 3 "Save Me' quickly stood out to me. "Heroes" being one helluva heavy song. But as I listened to the rest of the album, the talent of this band begins to stand out. Every song on this album is great, be it a rocker or ballad. As a guitarist, I truly appreciate the extreme talent & tightness that guitarist Jason Todd, bassist Brad Stewart, and drummer Barry Kerch puts forth on each & every song on this album. Also, the incredible voice of Brent Smith will blow you away. If you liked him singing the Skynyrd remake of "Simple Man"... you will absolutley love track 9 "Shed Some Light", a ballad of his voice, guitars & cello. I will go as far to say that SHINEDOWN is the best band out there today, and the best that's come out in the last 10+ years. This album is "Absolute Brilliance"... buy it today!
