I was watching the VH1 Top 20, and the annoying man who hosts it [Jim Shearer, who’s become less annoying since this was written] was introducing Shinedown’s “Second Chance” video. He says that the lead singer [Brent Smith] has said that their newest CD (The Sound of Madness
) is not only the best CD Shinedown has made, but it also compares favorably to any other album in musical history.Wow, I can't believe I own the greatest CD ever recorded; that's pretty amazing haha. It sounded like Jim Shearer might've been exaggerating what the shiny man said. I hope he was, because really, that's a little bit arrogant. As Jim Shearer sarcastically said, The Sound of Madness is clearly better than albums of artists like The Beatles
, Michael Jackson, etc (I’m loosely paraphrasing).Omg, Jim Shearer was not exaggerating at all. Brent Smith did say those things. Maybe he was just really excited about their shiny work.
I think I do agree with Brent Smith in that The Sound of Madness probably is the best CD Shinedown
has made thus far, and it is a really good CD in general. But clearly the greatest CD ever recorded is either Fallen
(Evanescence), 21st Century Breakdown
(Green Day), American Idiot (also Green Day), Breakaway
(Kelly Clarkson), The Black Album
(Metallica), S&M
(also Metallica), or The Fifth Symphony
(Beethoven)…
