I think think there's still more places to play. We've very humble and very receptive and very respectful of the fact that the platform to be ourselves. You have to pinch yourself still to this day. We walk out on stage, and it's still like being in the third grade forever. Where we are now, it's interesting, because we've never forgotten about when we started almost two decades ago. We only have one boss, and it's everybody in the audience. We've just never had a Plan B overall - the main focus was SHINEDOWN and what we had to say and what we still have to say, because we do feel that we're relevant, or at least that's what the public around the world tells us. The major part of what we do is built around honesty, no matter what.

They have to accept the fact that it's not always going to be great. ![]() In order to be able to get out of this room and out of this chair and go back into the world, they have to train themselves mentally. "At the beginning of the record, you can feel this intensity and these bold statements that are being made, but as the record progresses, you hear the individual and the record start to shift, and they start to get their confidence back, and they start to understand what's going on, because they're having to face emotions that they've never really faced before.

Attention Attention is the sixth studio album by American rock band Shinedown. ![]()
