I used to like them, but like that other guy, I got better taste.

They're stuff on leave a whisper is definitely catchy, but its generic and predictable as f*ck (can I say that on here?). It takes post-grunge and drains out what little personality there was in that genre. Lukewarm guitar distortion, medium tempo, smooth melodies...do they do anything at all out of the ordinary? They should have just called themselves Generic Rock Band.

I don't hate Shinedown. They're not legendary, but they're not bad. I used to be a big fan until, you know, I got better taste.

Who?

-because they have potential to accually be good, but for some reason it only shows in like 2 songs.

A good example of why this band sucks is their cover of "Simple Man". While Im not a huge Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, the original version did have alot of power to it, and was an epic jam. Shinedown drained anything positive out of that song.

They are boring, sound like every post-grunge band....I think the quote above sums it up best, actually.

Heard a few of their popular songs and did not dig them too much, so I didnt take the time to care about them too much. From the songs I did hear, they didnt sounRAB like anything out of the ordinary.
