AMG Review of Us and Them
Johnny Loftus
All Music GuideShinedown's 2003 single "Fly from the Inside" blended atmospheric Alice in Chains references with a lumbering post-grunge sound similar to Nickelback. The debut LP Leave a Whisper offered more of the same - a satisfactory sound as rock radio filler, but ultimately pretty calculated. But it became a hit, certainly due in part to radio support, but mostly because of the Jacksonville, Florida-based band's reputation as a great live act. The quartet played something like 400 shows over the course of 2003 and '04, and that gelling process is unquestionably a factor in the more realized hard rock sound of 2005's Us and Them. Shinedown frontman Brent Smith channels Chris Cornell (or at least Alter Bridge's Myles Kennedy) on opener "Dream," but the song's grunge theft is forgiven by its airtight groove. This band has been road tested, and they prove it again on "Trade Yourself In" and "Yer Majesty." Shinedown still relies a little too much on formula on Whisper. "Save Me" and "Beyond the Sun" are direct descendants of Three Doors Down, for example, and at other times the band sounds like they're aiming for power ballad crossover success. However, Shinedown's sophomore effort is definitely a step forward. They have a rewarding hard rock album in them somewhere.

Begin again...aahh, yeah, I wish that I could start fresh on a couple things, the only setback is that I might not end up in the same place I am now, like time travel, if you go back to change something, everyone knows you won't come back to the same stuff, everything will change...Jack's movie recommendation, "Primer" is the best time travel movie ever made, give it a serious chance, it's hard...

Fake....did you know that a woman with breast implants is much more likely to drown in a over turned boat accident because implants sink and also add more weight to the chest when trying to breath, it makes it harder......and real breasts are nicer anyway...Jack's carnival stand,Tyler Durden

Beyond the Sun...if you launch off this planet straight towards the sun at just the right speed, and you could theoretically travel through or past the sun in a straight line without being incineratd, you could land right on the same spot you took off from on the opposite side of the sun in exactly 182 1/2 days from take off date (earth years of course)Jack's theoretical scientific calculations...
