They are hard, gut-wrenching in power and outstanding examples of the levels the band have risen to. Taking the reigns back to the older SHINEDOWN sound, keeping to their roots the most are tracks PYRO and MONSTERS. With the strength of this track, it will become a talking point whenever this album is mentioned. They’ve taken a controversial subject and made it real. It’s hard-hitting, it discusses the correlation between mental health deteriorating and our use of social media. It serves as a reminder to keep in touch with our human side and to speak to people face to face. The track is based on the pitfall of social media, our reliance as humans to need acceptance from people through a screen. One of the most powerful tracks on the album is KILL YOUR CONSCIENCE. It’s not the strongest track on the album, but the concept blindsides you when Brent Smith’s vocals power into the chorus. Title-track ATTENTION ATTENTION takes a while to kick in. The chorus packs a punch, it is a game changer and it is here where the record really gets you geared up. It’s about learning from the mistakes you’ve made in life and putting them right or taking the right steps in not making them again. It’s apparent that this album is going to connect with listeners, no matter how they take it.īLACK SOUL holds themes that every person can relate to. DEVIL explodes into action quickly after. Simple but effective, it is that moment of walking into a room and getting ready to be honest with yourself. Footsteps down a corridor and a knock on the door. Mentally, this album is set to be a heavy listen. What makes it so personal is that the stories being told are SHINEDOWN’s, the highs, the lows and everything in between. The reality of coming to terms with yourself and what is going on in life. ![]() It follows an individual’s journey through life’s mental and physical battles. ![]() Will it match to the expectations?ĪTTENTION ATTENTION is a concept album.
