Shinedown - DARKSIDE (Official Audio)

[@reylen3875]

Bands change guys. Shinedown has graced our hearts and minds for years upon years. Let them continue to do it with a new sound.

[@gordonjamescowiest]

Mooky Blaylock they haven't lost their identity, calm down dude, you're overreacting.

[@reylen3875]

People change Mooky, get over it. Let the real fans stay here and love Shinedown.

[@user-987ki34t]

Reylen I like it, and if people starting turning away from the band then they’re the ones missing out, but I do disagree with the whole “true fans” mentality. It doesn’t make people “true fans” for liking everything a band does, and it certainly doesn’t mean people aren’t just because they don’t like a direction the band is going or an era of a band. Criticism and honest feedback is important. For all you know he could be one of these guys who’s seen them 30 times and just isn’t a big fan of the last 2 albums. Listen to his criticisms and discuss that rather than throwing out a cop out comeback that doesn’t really mean anything.

[@reylen3875]

Jason King I see where you're coming from, but he's commented on every song saying shitty things about it which was fine at first but now a bit over the top. You are right though for the most part. I just don't think someone saying bad things on every new songs is the right thing to do.

[@reylen3875]

Mooky Blaylock And you won't change my mind by being a regular bitch. Shinedown is special to me either way.

[@Alexjh260]

You've got to understand that shinedown has been around for well over a decade. Bands change and writing the same genre of music is draining. Experimenting and creating new sounds keeps the band fresh and together. I for one love the new album and the concept behind it, glad to see shinedown going strong and trying new styles. Can still hear the influence from som and amaryllis In the songs too. This one is also my fave of the new album

[@tims5481]

I'm not a huge fan of it, but I respect them more for trying something different. We heard the change on Threat to Survival as well. Theory of a Deadman changed their style too and had their biggest single (RX).

[@TrTriTrippin]

dont even waste energy on these idiots they are not the audience soaking up the lyrics anyways......this song is serious shit if they had half a fucking brain to listen, dont do drugs kids.

[@firelynx1108]

like mcr and green day

[@patrickgrondines]

i agree with you

[@elisabeth7971]

Every song on this album. SO. DAMN. GOOD 😍

[@kendallgrayfan8983]

Ur right

[@Bullet2k1]

Its awesome to see rock bands trying something new with their sound. Most people don't understand that they are experimenting these sounds.

[@CMDRBonbon]

Same! A band changes their sound and suddenly they've "sold out". Every Shinedown album is unique and Brent Smith has so much love in everything he puts out, I can't imagine these being sell out songs.

[@Bullet2k1]

i agree 100% and also lets not forget about the rest of the band too. everyone did amazing work on this album

[@CMDRBonbon]

A good point. I'm captivated by everything.

[@CMDRBonbon]

Awhh. And?

[@Bullet2k1]

glad you agree. i feel the same way. everyone should just enjoy the music for what it is. if you like their old stuff better then go listen to their old stuff.

[@turkiwinick1174]

I’m only 6 songs in (including DEVIL and the Human Radio) and this is by far my favorite album it was well worth the wait!

My favorite album will always be sound of madness... but I love shinedowns music... they suddenly have a different sound... this group of songs just seem like shinedown is changing it up a bit... and get up doesn't even sound like a shinedown song ... but I do love the song don't get me wrong ...

[@casketbase7750]

The tempo difference between the verses and chorus are an excellent choice. It’s like coming up for air before diving back in. To the Darkside that is.

[@tomjohnson745]

Revisiting this 4 years later… I don’t know what people were bitching about. Shinedown is so damn good. This is one of their best songs on what ended up being a phenomenal album. The “they sold out crowd” can eat a bag of dicks. They’ve done more for their fans and addressed mental health and addiction issues better than Dr Phil or Whoopi Goldberg could ever dream of. Not that high of a bar… I know. Point being that they are so good. And continue to be good… and good to each other. I love em and will never doubt their intentions or music. Until they give real reasons to.

[@Laurar120]

Facts. Shinedowns saved my life and others, and they give us all good advice along with catchy and good songs. Nothing to complain about.

[@leahoakwood9988]

I love, love, LOVE this band! They've helped me come back to life after an accident killed me, twice. Thanks gents!

[@anthonypeters44]

Glad you are still here you are here for a reason

[@leahoakwood9988]

@@anthonypeters44 Thank you, dear heart. Hope I live up to your thoughtful kindness & my miracles.

[@Scaduhorizon]

This isn't a new sound. This is a NEW Shinedown album. The Shinedown definitely is still there and kicking it hard. Loving the track, if you can't appreciate this kind of work i suggest you go listen something else.

[@Brandon2940]

Samuel Exactly! I'm confused on how some people actually prefer and say that TTS is better than thid album

[@bryanlenihan5012]

Brandon2940 I totally agree TTS is their weakest album imo but cut the cord is one of their best songs ever

[@laurencrouch3990]

A fucking men man

[@Hotdawg40]

I agree

[@GCF-Media]

SD has always been going between sounds people need to realize

[@ImrikGames]

Alot of people complaining about Shinedown keep changing their sound. I'm like what the hell are you talking about. of course they should. i don't know about you. But I don't like eating burger everyday. that goes with music.

[@Brandon2940]

Thing is.. their sound changed with every album they've put out!

[@domenikkunz9798]

It can be a personal journey as an Artist, to create many pieces in different Styles. A challenge, both, to test skill and to grow. And if you look at all the different pieces you might get a look at the life, emotions, thoughts and the changes in them, because there are stories behind every little bit of art. Maybe one has to remind himself, that Art is like life, always in motion. Some Artists even grow restless or rather dissatisfied if they dont broaden their horizon. What I really wanted to Express is : Enjoy the Artists you like and their Story. Maybe you wont like some changes, but at least you know it all will change again. They are opening their hearts and minds, and we as an audience, shouldnt always feel entitled to have it our way, because it effectively takes the life and the beauty out of art.

[@ImrikGames]

@@domenikkunz9798 very well said good sir..SHINEDOWN for life...this is the only band that i love every album. its expresses emotions i can't express myself in words.

[@andrewclear8905]

Some bands change their sound every album, but still maintain their core sound, like Kamelot. Shinedown, they just like to be different every album, and that works for them. In the end, they make the product, and we have the option to purchase it. So, if people don’t like it, that is fine. I tend to judge each song and album separately, but I wouldn’t ever try to tell a band what why have to make.

[@kimuralove1096]

@@Brandon2940 I don't judge 'em for being adaptable. 🤷 I enjoyed their 2018 album IMMENSELY. I usually don't have the patience/attention span to sit and play an entire album without hate/rage-quitting because I get bored or only a couple of songs are any good. I decided to give it a whirl with "Attention Attention" because I knew I loved Monsters, Devil, Brilliant, Special, Darkside, and Get Up. I like all of them, they alternate the favorite spot depending on my mood. Sometimes I really wanna hear Black Soul or Kill Your Conscience or Creatures. And there are songs I dislike, especially his cover of Simple Man. (My favorite Simple Man cover is actually Jensen Ackles. Amazing voice.) But I have a big soft spot for Shinedown as a rule, and I am more impressed with their new sound than any other point I've been a fan. And Brent Smith has mastered the whole extreme glow-up thing. The guy looks like he had a full-body transplant. Good for him lol

[@cindymjfan7]

Even though Shinedown "changed their style", I still love them like the first time I heard them... ❤

[@reylen3875]

Same

[@kristinashortreed3739]

Every album sound is different on purpose... I love these guys... They truly are a one of a kind band... Can't wait to hear the next album. Oh and just so you know, they are amazing in concert... Am..maz...ing !! ⚠️⚠️🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

[@emeraldmejia8783]

cinthia peralta they change their style every month. But. They. Are the. Best.

[@xKillerClownx]

Can you hear me? Am I speaking clearly? Are you starstrucked or just made of stone? Do you need a savior? Some bad behavior? Or you could cash it all in, I suppose Because you're in deep, resist and repeat Face forward and don't come unhinged Block out the actors and all these bastards That took all the fun out of rage and revenge Don't be so quick to judge, rain havoc from above I think I've had enough, time to raise the dead It's all subliminal, supernatural I might be mental but I've still got my cred So welcome to the party, won't you please come inside? Where habits have teeth and the words carry knives You enter at your own risk, so don't be surprised Welcome to the darkside Spare me your sorrow, there's no tomorrow That's an empty promise at best I tried to play nice, you were baptized in ice So don't tell me you're just depressed Don't be so quick to judge, rain havoc from above I think I've had enough, time to raise the dead It's all subliminal, supernatural I might be mental but I've still got my cred So welcome to the party, won't you please come inside? Where habits have teeth and the words carry knives You enter at your own risk, so don't be surprised Welcome to the darkside Your equilibrium has been spun all around And everything you know turned upside down The symptoms are contagious, so please be advised So welcome to the darkside Don't be so quick to judge, rain havoc from above I think I've had enough, time to raise the dead It's all subliminal, supernatural I might be mental but I've still got my cred So welcome to the party, won't you please come inside? Where habits have teeth and the words carry knives You enter at your own risk, so don't be surprised Welcome to the darkside Your equilibrium has been spun all around And everything you know turned upside down The symptoms are contagious, so please be advised So welcome to the darkside (Darkside, darkside) Welcome to the darkside (Darkside, darkside) Welcome to the darkside (Darkside, darkside) So welcome to the darkside (Darkside, darkside) So welcome to the darkside (Any edits are corrections. If you see an error, please let me know!)

[@praetorian3007]

I’m not entirely sure, but I think he says “habits” and “words”, not “rabbits” and “wolves”. “Where habits have teeth and the words carry knives.” Could be wrong, that’s just what I hear

[@xKillerClownx]

Hmm. I actually agree with you, I've been thinking it was "habits" since I started transcribing, but it didn't make sense in context of what I, or others, had in for the 2nd word (world's, wolves). Good call, updating.

[@dixieslav1274]

Wouldn't you "rain" havoc from above? I don't think that "reign" is the correct spelling in these circumstances, but I may be wrong.

[@xKillerClownx]

Matthew Swiderski That's a good question/point. I dug into it. It's weird though, it's like a mixing of 2 phrases "rain death from above" and "wreak havoc". So, based on the first phrase, I believe you are actually correct. Updating lyrics to reflect this.

I first heard this song on Pandora. At first, I thought it was Advanage Sevenfold (im not a fan of them, so I'm sorry if I spelled it wrong), I had to take a second look. I was totally surprised that it was Shinedown. I had to go on KZbin to listen to the whole album. I believe it is one of the best albums to come out in 2018!!!!! Also, saw Shinedown with Godsmack back in August.....it was an awesome show. Both bands blew me away!!!!!!!

[@retro420]

Totally agree with Shinedown's album. This is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. I also saw them in August in Greensboro, NC...didn't stay for Godsmack...as SD, was why I went (glad SD was first : ) )...I really don't care for GS. But, SD performance was absolutely spot on.
