    Undoubtably, they've lost some of their pure sound from Sound of Madness and Threat To Survival nearly strays on more than one occasion into sounding almost pop-rock, however there are a few catchy tunes - and Cut The Cord is a throwback to their past work - which is good to hear from the,. We've seen better fifth albums... Then again we've seen far, far worse.
    Verdict: B

    "Misfits" is a bit of a bland closer musically, but it's a sentiment that fits the album--and Shinedown--perfectly. [26 Sep 2015, p.51]

    While the occasional foray into the shallower end of the mainstream may divide some listeners, there's enough here to keep longtime followers satiated (and probably a little curious/nervous as to what the future holds) until the next ride.
