Shinedown Leave A Whisper. Release Date : June 15, 2004. Label: Atlantic. Rating: Hard. (Screw points. To each his own!) Make way for a new genre - emotal. More metal than emo, but that first track will sure keep yoou guessing at every bar. It's a cross between Nickelback, Metallica and Skid Row in all its heavy, weepy ballads, heavy guitars and heavy vocals. Actually, it appears only the first song contains any emo at all, besides the weepiness of some of the other tracks. Anthemic, echoey vocals, harmonized between three people, and some intros are likewise. The lyrics are a bit clumsy in how they're packed into the meter. Song of choice : "Fly From The Inside" -Andy Scheffler Elsewhere Shinedown website Published : January, 2007.
