    Even if it’s not quite as good as Shinedown’s very best material dating back to their heyday, Attention can still claim at least one superlative in relation to the band’s discography. For starters, it may very well be their heaviest album, moving along at a consistent breakneck pace that relents only sparingly.

    A loose concept album that charts the lows, highs and subsequent recovery of its protagonist, sonically it’s punchier, angrier even, than previous records.

    At its core, Attention Attention is a fun, engaging ride, maintaining Shinedown's power while making subtle bids to attract a wider audience.

    A couple of tracks two-thirds of the way through could probably have been left on the side of the road, but Attention Attention concludes just the way it started--with defiant power, immense vocals and thunderous, thirst-quenching melody. [5 May 2018, p.55]

    This Album keeps me coming back since its release in 2018. Its a surprise hit for me, as I am a fan of Shinedown but was never a huge fan. SoThis Album keeps me coming back since its release in 2018. Its a surprise hit for me, as I am a fan of Shinedown but was never a huge fan. So hearing Attention attention caught me off guard for how solid an album it is. Some heavy songs that are not just filler with some spitting lyrics, like "Brilliant" and "Monsters". This is my favorite album from them now i think. It perhaps shows them becoming more comfortable as a band and the songs quality ( though a couple are not my fav.) show that. Im definitely eager to hear their next album.… Expand
