Band History
Early in 2007, producer Rob Cavallo asked Shinedown frontman Brent Smith about his goals for the band's new album. Smith didn't hesitate.
"I said, 'You know what -- when I'm dead and gone, when everybody in this band has passed or what have you, I want the world to remember this as a record that needed to be made, and that there was a reason for it,' " Smith says. "That was the motivation behind this album.”
"And part of the reason it took so long to make!"

Shinedown guitarist Zach Myers has named what he considers the "perfect album from start to finish" in a new feature with Spin, where he and drummer Barry Kerch named the five albums they can't live without.
The guitarist's picks prove that he has a diverse taste in music. Myers described his current music collection as, "Picture George Jones swerving all over the road but Jackson Browne is in the passenger seat and they’re both listening to Glassjaw," and named Jelly Roll, Nas, NF, Riley Green and Jason Isbell as some other artists that he's been listening to.
