Shinedown

Shinedown came out with a new album last year, Amaryllis, which I've just recently started getting into since the I saw them in concert a couple weeks ago. My favorites songs on the album are Bully, I'll Follow You,  and Amaryllis. But really, all of the songs are good. I think it sounds different than their previous albums, in a good way. I really like Brent Smith's (the lead singer) voice. And I also love the lyrics. Especially to Bully. Part of the chorus goes like this: "Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely". I just love that line. It's so true, most people will just think it's funny, it's a joke, they justify every mean thing they say to people as if it was a joke even if they actually meant it. But to depressed people it's not just a joke, it hurts more than the bully will ever think it did, and I think this song will reach out to kids and teenagers who are being bullied. And I think it's sending a really good message which is a reason I love it so much. I totally recommend this song and this album and this band, it's pretty amazing.
