‘Creatures’ is another one of the slower songs off of the record, with a light verse and chorus this is a very powerful song which would sound amazing with a massive crowd of people screaming back the words.

The chorus is very upbeat and full of energy and the contrast between the heaviness of the chorus and the slower post chorus once more shows so much versatility within the band. Following on from this we have ‘Darkside’ which I absolutely adore, with a light guitar riff which leads into this eq effected verse it brings the mood up from the sombre one presented in ‘Monsters’. Sung in a typical Shinedown manner this is encompasses their whole style, with a chilling verse and extremely powerful and beautiful chorus this song is just brilliant. ‘Pyro’ has incredibly catchy lyrics and it’s so incredibly hard not to dance to this would be absolutely brilliant live.Īfter the highly energised feel from ‘Pyro’ we are presented with ‘Monsters’ which is one of the slower and more powerful songs on the record. It’s fast with driving drum beats and a good bassline which cut out for a moment in the pre-chorus only to come back in bigger and stronger in the chorus. ‘Pyro’ is another one of my favourites, it has a dark feel to it as well as a high energy riff which is headbangingly cool. It’s just a cool song and the use of electronics within the instrumental bridge really makes it stand out. Even the pre-chorus is just drums and vocals however, it’s different and works so well especially when it flings you into this powerful and paced chorus. ‘Kill Your Conscience’ once more carries on with this electronic feel and once again has a lighter verse. This song sums up the album with the lyric ‘Nothing about me is ordinary,’ as there is no other band a record this powerful and unique could belong to. The chorus has this upbeat and lighter feel to it which once more shows so much versatility and talent within the band. Title track ‘Attention Attention’ gives off a completely different vibe altogether, opening with a deep riff and flinging you into a verse with spoken vocals, this is something completely new from Shinedown. The transition between these heavy riffs and light electronic melodic lines is seamless and shows that Shinedown have outdone themselves once again. Opening with a synth riff this track instantly creates a different tone altogether, the lighter texture within the verse allows you to focus on Smith’s vocals some more however, once the pre-chorus and chorus kick in this song becomes this heavily riffed rock anthem. Next up is ‘Black Soul’ which has quite quickly become a fan favourite. The chorus resonates power and confidence with a strong drum beat and use of power chords, the pre-chorus focuses heavily on Eric Bass’ bass line which instantly encompases the whole band into this wealth of power and strength.
The track really sets the tone for the rest of the record with energetic riffs and strong vocals from Brent Smith, this song screams that this record is not to be slept on.
The record opens with an atmospheric introductory track titled ‘The Entrance’ which sets up tension and readiness for the rest of the record with sounds of footsteps, doors opening and a sharp intake of breath which leads seamlessly into the first single off of Attention Attention, ‘Devil’.

The blend however, works incredibly and proves that Shinedown know how to create an interesting record which can provide a different mood with each track. Attention Attention draws on influences from other musical styles such as more popular influences as well as giving off strong 80s vibes with more electronic elements. The Jacksonville quartet have just released their 6th studio album and are currently on a US co-headline tour with Five Finger Death Punch with support from Starset and Bad Wolves. As a massive Shinedown fan this record has been very long awaited especially after the success of Threat To Survival.
