Is it a bad album? Of course not! At times it’s very good but there is such a lack of imagination that it becomes a completely unremarkable listen. In fact the latter part of the album really drops in quality. The likes of Kill Your Conscience, Creatures, Evolve and Get Up go nowhere and are so forgettable you’ll have forgotten them before they’ve even finished. The misses really do miss though, to the point where you’ll want to just stop listening. Some of these include the title track that has a safe ‘sing a long’ chorus, Pyro is all energy and bounce, Monsters lifts the spirits with nice melody and Darkside gets the blood pumping with groove. Easy to enjoy while listening to them but these won’t be played months down the line. That’s a problem in itself but the ‘hits’ have zero longevity in them. Two tracks with completely different results, it’s a early clue about the album as a whole. Black Soul fails to capitalise on it though with poor use of electronica and vocals that are hilariously lazy sounding. Living up to their hard rock & roll tag, Shinedown kick off Attention Attention with plenty of swagger and catchiness as Devil makes a play for a guaranteed floor filler at rock clubs around the world.Ī solid start that doesn’t exactly defy expectations but certainly delivers on them. It was released on and is a concept album, depicting an individual overcoming negativity and related problems to be reborn as a new person. American hard-rock band, Shinedown have released their sixth studio album entitled Attention Attention.
