Next, “Cut the Cord,” a hard rocking, drum-driven piece, is accompanied with anthemic riffs that urge listeners to make up their minds and to stand up for their beliefs as Smith croons, “Because victory is all you need/So cultivate and plant the seed…” The intro to “State Of My Head” has Smith’s voice carrying on like a distant thought tickling the back of the listener’s mind before a funky beat kicks in with pounding drumbeats and melodic organ/synths as Smith states that he would rather die fighting. Getting the album off to a rocking start is “Asking For It” with its catchy hook and riff as Smith sings about people who talk too much smack without a way to back it up.
Threat to Survival is an eleven track look into the psyche of people as they learn to deal with life, deciding whether to run away or stay and fight. Vocalist Brent Smith and Drummer Barry Kerch, the band’s only two remaining original members, along with Guitarist Zach Myers and Bassist/Pianist Eric Bass, have produced Threat to Survival, their fifth studio album, with Dave Bassett (Halestorm, Josh Groban), Pete Nappi (Kesha, The Veronicas), and “The Ninja” Stevens (Daughtry, Tech N9ne). Now Shinedown is back again to give fans another dose of down-home Rock-n-Roll with their newest album, Threat to Survival, released Septemthrough Atlantic Records. In the interim, Shinedown has toured the world with bands like Seether, Flyleaf, Halestorm, Trapt, Alter Bridge, Godsmack, and Rob Zombie. Their second album, Us and Them, released in the Fall of 2005, produced the hit singles “Save Me,” which spent a record-breaking twelve weeks at the #1 spot on the Active Rock charts, and “I Dare You,” a song Chris Daughtry performed on American Idol and was also featured on WWE’s Wrestlemania 22. Albums The Sound of Madness (2008) and Amaryllis (2012) followed. However, it was not until the album’s rerelease with the included cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” that Shinedown became a household name. After forming in 2001, the Jacksonville, Florida natives hit the scene running with their 2003 album, Leave a Whisper, where hit singles “Fly From the Inside” and “45” put the band on many rockers’ radars. Strangely when the band first recorded this song, they didn’t like It very much, but just as Its name, it showed that It needed a second chance.Self-described Rock-n-Roll band Shinedown has made quite a mark in musical history over their fourteen year career. It breaks through to almost all of the radio stations. Second Chance sold Platinum, and It is the band’s biggest hit ever. The message of this song is you should live every day like It is your last. This is another perfect song from the 45. The song is criticizing the idea of rebels who don’t do anything and run from responsibility. Resembling Metallica a little bit because Brent Smith, the lead singer, is singing lower and adds some natural distortion to his voice, and It sounds like James Hetfield a bit. One of the greatest rock tunes of the decade. The song is telling the story of a drug addict who is looking to cleanse himself in salvation.
This song is the first single from their album Us and Them. This old school rocking tune is from 2008, and It’s a criticism of George W. So It needed to show what the band was all about. This was the first song for their debut album back in 2003. From 2008 this song was one of the most obscure rock tunes. With an epic guitar work that amplifies the intensity of this song, we thank Zach Myers. With the great drumming of Barry Kerch, there is also some swing to It too. This song is a great way to release some steam if you are angry. One of the more calm and shiny tunes of this band. It is to give strength to those people and give them the courage to go to school. This song is an ode to people who got bullied.
