Songs of Solace
 Shinedown (Music) / int_15346c03
comment
Songs of Solace: One of the band's specialties. Probably half of their major hits are breakup songs. A less straightforward example is "Bully" off of Amaryllis which is meant to be an anthem for those who have been victimized by bullying.

Knight in Sour Armor: One could take the POV character of the song "Diamond Eyes" as this. Considering it's the soundtrack for a Band of Brothers mercenaries who've been through a lot such as The Expendables, it fits.

New Sound Album
 Shinedown (Music) / int_22093e9b
comment
New Sound Album: Not a huge departure, exactly, but Amaryllis has a more hopeful and bright sound than the three albums that come before it. Compare to their previous platinum-selling album, The Sound of Madness, which contained several grief and breakup songs. Amaryllis actually has a couple of love songs on it, and people have actually danced to "I'll Follow You" at their weddings.

Title Track: "Sound of Madness" for The Sound of Madness, more or less. "Amaryllis" from Amaryllis. Leave a Whisper was supposed to have a song entitled "Leave a Whisper," but it was scrapped. It can be found on the deluxe edition, though. "Attention Attention" from Attention Attention. "Planet Zero" from Planet Zero.

Quarreling Song: "Enemies" from Amaryllis is a big intra-band argument about their odds of success now that they have a platinum album. The music video takes this to absurd lengths with the band beating the shit out of each other.

Immortality Through Memory: The theme of the song "How Did You Love" (mainly, that the way you treated others through your life will be the way you will be remembered by), with a slice of a cautionary tale/warning for a Legacy Seeker at the first verses.

Metal Scream: More common earlier in their career, but Brent Smith can still let out a window-pane-rattling blast when he needs to. Maybe the best examples come from "Fly From the Inside" off of Leave a Whisper or "Enemies" off of Amaryllis.

Lonely Piano Piece: Several examples, most notably "Call Me" off of The Sound of Madness. It's a particularly sad piece, even for the album it comes from, about a man who has been kicked out of his lover's life and finds himself wondering how it got that way.

Precision F-Strike: While Shinedown's music is generally devoid of swearing, each album from The Sound of Madness onwards has at least one use of profanity that warrants an explicit label.

Surprisingly Gentle Song: These guys are equally legendary for both their high-energy rock songs and their tender songs about grief or love. It can create some Mood Whiplash when listening to their albums straight through, going from "The Sound of Madness" right into "Second Chance", or from "My Name (Wearing Me Out)" into "Through the Ghost".
