Shinedown has always had my heart. The band has really made some bangers start to present. But I feel like the old and new Shinedown are two different bands. For example, compare Us and Them to EI8HT. Both are great, but to me they’re way different styles, which is for various reasons. I’m curious: which era of Shinedown strikes you more?

I’m counting old Shinedown as Leave a Whisper, Us and Them, and Sound of Madness since I think those three really have the grungy sound while Amaryllis introduced the more poppy aspect to the band.

And if you disagree with the eras, lmk!

Go wild, r/Shinedown.

I was listening to EI8HT, and honestly I felt a bit underwhelmed hearing At the Bottom to start (pretty ironic, lol). But what are y’all thinking? Which album starts the best? (Some albums start with two tracks that transition into each other; count both of them :D)
