Like to see an honest discussion of how popular music is made. Commercial/ popular music does have an intentional, designed structure. And I think it shows with Shinedown. This is a hard-working group but the music is artistically derivative and manufactured. Criticisms aside, I do sincerely hope Brent and crew make a good living from their craft. They are talented, hard-working musicians and deserve their success.

Brent is one of those people that you listen to and know he means what he says, when he came to London and said during the show that he appreciated the audience etc, it felt like he meant it... I never get tired of listening to him or their music... :)
