An album without weaknesses - a real gem!

Who has not experienced this annoyance.
A band makes an album, you can hear in advance 1 or 2 songs which was fallen and made for advertising or possibly one has long been a fan of the group and therefore buys the new plate - possibly unheard ...
The disappointment is later mostly great, because - as it comes to me - are usually only 50% of the album excellent or even acceptable.

This problem exists when Shinedowan album "The Sound of Madness" is not.
Not one song is weak. Each is impressive in its own way and absolutely correct.

I became attentive to the band about the song "Tell Me". Rather a happy coincidence. I've heard from the guys beforehand namely not.

Short Bandinfo:
Shinedown is an American rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. The music, which was founded in 2001 band combines influences from Hard Rock, Grunge and Metal. Shinedown have sold over eight million albums worldwide.

For the album 2 songs were recorded twice. Once Second Chance as Acoustic Version and The Crow and the Butterfly as a pull mix. Impossible to say which version is horny ...

The songs popping properly clean (including Devour - Diamond Eyes) or are sensitive and thoughtful (eg Tell me, Second Chance, or The Crow & The Butterfly)

I think the most famous song on the album is Second Chance. The German Radio has this been played. However, as the band was able to pass all these years to me, I can not understand itself.

My conclusion:
Punchy rock and sensitive lyrics.
A great mix that for weeks up at me and running down. I have no regrets, because the album is worth every penny.
Can I recommend to everybody as a tip!
