One of the things that I like about this album is that they didn't front load it like "Threat to Survival" with all the big songs. A very small gripe and the album still works the way the have done it. But as I say, that is really my only gripe. So it does start with a bang but just not quite the way I thought it should. Now the actual start what sounds like foot steps before you hear a door creaking open followed before launching into smash hit "Devil". And for me, this album needs that explosive start. But I think the reason for this is because the title track itself although it is deserving of being on the album. Just hearing the lyrics "Attention attention" through a tannoy sound at the start of the album I think would be a great way to start this album. I think they missed a trick not starting the album with title track "Attention Attention". Now I am going to go into a slight gripe about the album but its not really a big thing and doesn't ruin the album. There are so many twists and turns, ups and downs that it really is compulsive listening. I think that's where the magic of this album comes to life, in that it goes by really quickly. And made an album which flows really well and although 14 tracks and 50 minutes long, it feels like time goes past really quickly. The band have clearly sat down, gone through the songs. It's not a collection of songs, shoved on a record in some random order. So what makes this album stand out and make it different? Well to put it simply it is an album. I have never listened to an album ever so much on release day. So you can probably work out where this review is heading. But with this album I must have listened to it about 8 times throughout the day and today I have listened to it about another 4. Well normally on release day I would listen to an album a few times.
So when I left for work yesterday morning I was very excited to see that all the tracks were now appearing on my Apple Music waiting for me to get stuck into them. In fact it became my most anticipated release so far this year. But after listening to most of their back catalogue over the last few months, I became very, very excited about this record coming out. "ATTENTION ATTENTION" is the 6th album by American rock band Shinedown.
