![]() There are two stand out tracks to this album to me. It was a perfect choice for the first single because it paved the way for the next single track, “ The Human Radio” which I will speak on next. “ Devil” really sets the listener up for the rest of the album by offering some structure while being one of the heavier tracks on the album. Also, a certain chair might be something to keep an eye on. “ Devil” is actually, according to leadman, Brent Smith it’s the beginning in the “ story” of the album, referring to the video where a man is brought into a room, where the whole story takes place. ![]() “ Monsters” is a track that’s melodic compared to the rest of the album, it still holds up to the rest of the tracklisting because in brings a type of intensity to the album because of Brent’s piercing, vocals. Brent takes a slight approach to a more loose vocal delivery in a rap style intro followed by a fulfilling chorus. “ Attention Attention” starts off the album, naturally and begins sounding like a nuclear test warning then, the track starts. Then finally, Barry Kerch, he brings it all together with his momentous and ever-steady work on the percussions. Seeing Zach Myers live showed me he has some of the most beefie and energetic riffs I’ve ever seen. Leadman Brent Smith definitely explodes with a new level of ”madness’ that was nowhere to be found on the last couple of records, only closely compared to, “Sound Of Madness”. This is just my perception and why it means so much to me.Shinedown turns it up in volume for the intensity and volume in every way. Brilliant, you've made it, the healing is moving and you have the confidence to take on whatever you couldn't handle before. Human Radio, time to reconnect with your life and get back to whatever it is you do best and learn from those struggles you've been through and share them to maybe help others. Special, no reason for a pity party or seek attention for what you're fighting, we all have our own struggles, you're not special. ![]() Get Up, yourself and those around you hearing you out and knowing its hard but its time to get up and you can overcome this. Evolve, time to do something about it, no reason to stay stuck in this cycle anymore, you're stronger than that. Creatures, finally accepting that you are just human, the addictions, the mistakes, the urges, the things that drive us, its all normal, we all do it. The ups and downs you go through and begging them to understand what its like. Darkside, trying to explain to someone what its like for you in this addiction or depression or PTSD and knowing it sounds wild. Monsters, we all have our monsters that stay with us and always sit there in the back of your mind, trying to overcome them yet recognizing how powerful they are if you don't be careful. Pyro, trying to figure out if you're this way because you're just following in the footsteps of your family and finding a way to break that cycle and not use it as an excuse. And trying to hide how bad it really is hurting you by putting on a "show" through social media or to others that things are better than they really are. ![]() Kill Your Conscience, trying to reason with yourself why these things matter and distract yourself, whether it be with drugs, depression episodes, social media, whatever your vice is. "Nothing bout me is ordinary my friends all say I'm going crazy, I don't hear a word that they say." Attention Attention, still seeing what these things have done but in denial, giving excuses. Black Soul, recognizing the addiction or recognizing the depression, or whatever it is you're trying to overcome and what those things are doing to yourself and those around you. Not reaching out for help when you should "Pick up the phone, you said it yourself you're scared of being alone" when people can see what its doing to you "everyone can tell that you're poisoning the well" The psychological effects it can have a person when they take that step and the body begins to cleanse itself. Devil, which references getting clean off drugs the last time. I left this on a couple social media posts but these are my thoughts and my perception of the film and why it's so amazing: It honestly made me emotional. ![]()
