Multi-platinum rock band Shinedown have released their lead single “Planet Zero,” the title track from their newly announced seventh studio album out April 22 on Atlantic Records. Planet Zero serves up an incisive look at the issues at hand: cancel culture run rampant, the corrosive effects of social media on mental health and society, and the increasingly toxic division among those of differing ideologies. Featuring Shinedown’s explosive yet artfully crafted sound andurgentlyrics, single“Planet Zero”rings the alarm on a dystopian warning of the dangerous consequences to come when it all goes too far, and we begin to lose our respect for those with differing opinions and our compassion for one another. Says Brent, “If we shut each other down and allow ourselves to be divided by the information we consume and the way we talk to each other, we lose our humanity. When you look outside of your phone, you’ll see there are so many people doing good things and trying to take care of each other. But we’re starting to see parts of society slip into an unknown. Planet Zero was written for all of us. The fact is that we’re all here on this planet no matter what, so it’s time to actually move forward together with empathy, perseverance and strength. With that said….welcome to PLANET ZERO.”Over the last two decades,Shinedownhave cemented their status as one of the most vital and forward-thinking powerhouses in modern rock.Theirmost ambitious and masterfully realized work to date,Planet Zerois a high-concept,ultra-vivid, viscerally chargedsaga. A critical yet optimistic look at the fractures and frays of a society that has undergone many challenges in the last few years, the album is partsocial commentaryand part in-depthexploration of the human psyche. Produced by Shinedown’s Eric Bass (who also produced the band’s 2018 acclaimed album ATTENTION ATTENTION,)and recorded atBass’ newly built Big Animal Studio in South Carolina,Planet Zeromatchesitsimmersiveworld-building and takedown of authoritarianismwithadeliberately unvarnished sound, and the album is spliced with interludesfeaturing Cyren, an insidious and unsettlingrobot character that appears throughout the Planet Zero journey. While a raw ferocity fuels much of Planet Zero on tracks like “The Saints of Violence and Innuendo,” “No Sleep Tonight,” and “America Burning,” there is also hope, triumph, and reminders that we all need one another on songs like “Daylight,” “Dysfunctional You,” and “A Symptom of Being Human.” After all, it is the band’simpassioned striving for unitythathas long been at the heart of their creative output and deeply informed the making ofPlanet Zero.Not only a driving force for their songwriting,theirhumanitarianoutlookled Shinedown to be one of the first artists to fundraise for non-profit humanitarian aid organizationDirect Reliefin the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, raising more than $400,000 with their “Atlas Falls” relief effort. Review: Best Shinedown Album Since Sound of Madness - Having to wait a few extra months because of the vinyl release was frustrating, but oh boy was this album ever worth the wait. It is astonishingly good. Starts right in with the 2184 song, which I believe must be a nod to the 1984 song from Van Halen, or perhaps Orwell's book, only from the perspective of 200 years later, or maybe a combination of both? Hard to say, but it's a unique way from the Shinedown perspective to start an album off. No Sleep Tonight kicks in HARD, with the drum kit wailing away in line with the guitars. Planet Zero follows in every bit as metal, maybe even harder, with a political nod on the foolish behavior on social media and cancel culture, with the best bridge on the album, a countdown buildup with the bass and lead guitar crashing in unison. Dysfunctional You is a take on the individuality and fear of those who feel different from others, imploring each person to stand up and be strong, to embrace differentiation as a strength rather than shying away out of fear. A beautiful lyrical masterpiece. "Terrified looking like maybe they're right, I'm a little too dim when the moment gets bright, I'm a total eclipse, can you read my lips." Dead Don't Die goes right back into slamming drums, fast paced screaming guitars, maybe the best hard song on the album. America Burning is easily the most politically charged song on the album, attacking the unhinged percentage at each end of the political scale, taking them to task for their utter ignorant foolishness . "Who doesn't love a parade, with gasoline and grenades, don't be afraid it's just America burning!!!" Whether it's 6 hours on January 6th, or the 270 days of violence by the other side leading up to the election, this song calls them both out equally for their atrocious actions. A Symptom of Being Human - Best Song On The Album - If Dysfunctional You was about celebrating differences as an individual, this slow paced song explores loving someone like that, seeing what makes them wonderful from the other side. Alluring and dizzying classical accompaniment throughout, ending on a precise and simple piano arrangement. Absolutely wonderful. Hope - Another slower song, a little harder than Symptom, a reminder that no matter how dark things can look, there's nothing wrong with keeping the faith. Clueless and Dramatic - hard song, turning another potential callout song, the lyrics appear to take on the dangers of those hooked on social media. Sure Is Fun - Guitar plucking fast paced lyrics, a humorous reaction to what is going on in our current society. Daylight - Glorious mix of piano and guitar, currently their biggest hit off the album (hit number one on the modern rock chart), breaks down the importance of those who help lift us up and carry us when we are really really down. Saints of Violence and Innuendo - another song that appears to take on the dishonest and pseudo violent foolishness online. Army of the Underappreciated - While so much in the album seems to take on the stupidity we see in the world, this song is about that silent majority of people, both political sides, who get along with one another despite our differences, and that no matter what, we can over power the ignorance "I'm gonna rain on your parade, I got a thousand different ways". What You Wanted - What can you say? Not many bands come right out with the final song on the album and poke fun at you and themselves "Goodbye so long see you later good night, did you get what you wanted? Is THIS what you wanted?" The only real questionable issue with the album for me is the use of the interlude songs, not really my thing but I can respect why they did it. I removed them all when I pulled the album into MP3's off the CD, except for 2184, which is a nice little lead in. The rest of them, having heard them a few times, they start to take away from the overall album. So deleting them helped. I can tell you this much, this absolutely IS what I wanted, this album checked every box I could expect from Shinedown, and time will likely prove that this is one of their best albums ever. If only the rabid loons on either end of the political spectrum could see past their own noses, they'd all enjoy this album too! Review: Shinedown Emerges: Soul Deep Next Level Rock and Metal - After listening to the first few songs on this album, I found myself sitting in the den surrounded by all the speakers of my old-school stereo system blasting thinking ... what the hell just happened here? And then I realized; this music rocked me to my soul, moved me, and made me realize that through all these years of listening to Shinedown, they've really just been in the chrysalis, waiting to emerge on this album as the best version of themselves we've ever known. There will be, no doubt, people who compare this to earlier albums. I won't do much of that. I love those earlier albums, but the thing I want to share most with all of you is simply that Shinedown has emerged from recent years to become greater than the greatest version of themselves we ever thought they could be. I admit when I first heard the single "Planet Zero," I liked it, but it took a couple times before it got inside me and made me realize, "hey man, this is the real stuff ... they're talking about it and making you feel it, and making you nod your head and say, yeah, man, that's it ... I get it, that's it." And yet I had no idea what was waiting for me on the rest of this album. The opening song "No Sleep Tonight" blew me away. It's almost cliché these days to say it, but hey, it's a fact: I spent the '80s listening to heavy metal and thrash (still some of my favorite music), but I expected no such thing from Shinedown at this stage of the game as that which came roaring out of my speakers as I spun this album's first song. Brutal, hard hitting, and melodic as hell, with a hook so deep I have no doubt it'll hang with me for days. "Dysfunctional You" instantly dug in and cut me, yet lifted me up and carried me away ... it's this kind of thing that seemed to be taking shape on Attention Attention but wasn't yet fully formed. A song that speaks truth with all its sharp edges ... and still manages to lift us all up. This is just plain great music. I have several other top call-outs here: "America Burning," "A Symptom of Being Human," "The Saints of Violence and Innuendo," just to name the ones that stand out right now. I'm sure as I listen to this album over the next few weeks (months, years), it will reveal its layers to me and I'll lie in the dark wishing I'd said this differently. But hey, for now, just know -- if you're a Shinedown fan divided by the old stuff vs. new stuff, whichever side of the fence on which you sit today, I encourage you to buy this album and listen to it with all your heart and soul. Take it from an old dad metal head; this is the kind of music we music-lovers need to carry us through the tough times, to encourage and push us forward ... even if things are falling apart around us. There's always something better on the other side, and you couldn't ask for a better soundtrack to get there.

An Amazing Album
Shinedown's latest offering, 'Planet Zero,' solidifies their position as a powerhouse in the rock scene. Released on July 1, 2022, this being their 7th studio album, it's an impressive testament to their evolution and creativity. The album delivers an electrifying blend of tracks, each showcasing the band's signature sound and pushing the boundaries of their musical prowess. From the hard-hitting anthems like 'Dead Don't Die' to the soul-stir of 'Hope,' 'Planet Zero' takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster. The album captures the essence of what makes Shinedown special – the raw emotion in Brent Smith's vocals, the intricate guitar work, and the lyrics that resonate with fans on a personal level. 'A Symptom of Being Human' is a shining example of the band's ability to craft songs that delve into the human experience, tackling themes of vulnerability and resilience. The album as a whole feels like a journey through various emotions, connecting listeners to a range of feelings that only great music can evoke. Released under Atlantic Records, 'Planet Zero' is a testament to Shinedown's enduring appeal and their ability to consistently deliver music that resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers. This album will undoubtedly stand as a cherished addition to their discography, and a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the power of rock music that speaks to the heart and soul.

Worth the money to buy
Shinedown is one of my most beloved bands. Their music speaks to my soul. However, I thought that some of their other albums did a better job of dong that. It's hard not to compare this one to others. For me, I prefer songs like 'How did you Love', 'Cut the Cord' and 'Second Chance'. To me, they speak more to the individual person overcoming their demons to make like life a more positive experience. Perhaps I haven't given this album a fair chance, but I haven't been able to make that connection yet. Still, I find the album enjoyable and the tunes are catchy. The biggest downfall is the filler tunes between the actual songs. I have the CD and It's annoying to fast forward thru all those interludes. I'll also have to delete them if/when I upload to a MP3 format. It's just messy and takes away from the enjoyment of just sitting back to take a listen.

Relevant and recent
So we are well into 2022 and this year has seen more great music than I can remember in recent times. I guess artists have had much to say...just like us, regular humans. So the bad. In my opinion this is not the best produced/mastered album i have heard this year. It may be my system but when you have albums like scoring the end of the world or imperia, this one almost hurts the ears when it is cranked up. Buuut, you still want to crank it... The good is pretty much everything else about it. This will make you headbang and cry within minutes. The "story" is not all that original...an alien planet controlled by machines to where your life is compliance, but there is more to being human. Buuuut, the lyrics are written in a way that anyone can relate. As I said, you can have a "rockfest" and then get hit with, "it is just a symptom of being human" and the conflict and reality of this album will punch you right in the face. And let us talk "catchyness", don't know that that is a real word, but somehow every song on this monster will get you wanting to sing along. So, I don't love the production, but that aside, this is still in my top 3 albums of 2022. This is a product of a great story, very well written, and a bunch of anthems that are catchy as all get out. Highly recommended along with "scoring the end of the world" and "imperia" which are...in my opinion...the 3 best rock albums of 2022.......so far
