Double Vinyl LP

On their seventh studio album, Shinedown cements their status as one of the most vital and forward-thinking powerhouses in modern rock. Their most ambitious and masterfully realized work-to-date, Planet Zero is a high-concept, ultra-vivid, viscerally charged saga. A critical yet optimistic look at the fractures and frays of a society that has undergone many challenges in the last few years, the album is part social commentary and part in-depth exploration of the human psyche. Planet Zero matches its immersive world-building and takedown of authoritarianism with a deliberately unvarnished sound, and the album is spliced with interludes featuring Cyren, an insidious and unsettling robot character that appears throughout the album’s journey.
