ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² that belies their limited time in the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß spotlight. "I've wanted to do this all ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ

ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² being in a successful band is all I ever ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ

ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Formed in early 2001 by these fast-found ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß friends - after Smith left his previous ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ band on the eve of landing a recording ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² deal - it hasn't taken long for ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Shinedown to begin making their mark. ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² First and foremost, there are the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß songs. Each one stands as a mini-drama ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ unto itself, a full-fledged slice of rock ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² and roll brilliance where the band's ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý varying influences and tastes all Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß magnificently battle with one another ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß for prominence. "We don't like to do ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ anything in a typical way," Smith says ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² with a grin. "To our way of thinking, ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ each song should be different - as far ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² away from a formula as you can possibly ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß get. We pride ourselves in taking some ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ things you might think you know, and then ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² twisting them around. We're not trying ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý to necessarily be different - it's just Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß the way we are. That keeps it ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß interesting for us, and interesting for ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ the fans as well." ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Once the members of Shinedown began to ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² fully appreciate one another's talents ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß and fully hit their musical stride, it ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ didn't take long for the labels to take ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² notice. It was early in 2002 that ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Atlantic sealed the deal, giving the Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß band the opportunity to turn their rock ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß and roll dreams into reality. Shinedown ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ soon found themselves in a Los Angeles ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² recording studio with producer Bob ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Marlette (known for his work with Ozzy ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Osbourne, Saliva, and Black Sabbath), ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß laying down the tracks that would ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ eventually form the core of "LEAVE A ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ

ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß From first note to last, this is a disc ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß that shows a band in control of the full ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ spectrum of rock and roll ingredients. ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Heavy without being overbearing, ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ insightful without sounding preachy, ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² the music created by Shinedown is ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß designed to send those proverbial ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ shivers racing up and down your spine. ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² While their approach on such tunes as ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý "45" and "Better Version" can seem Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß rather dark and bleak, there's always a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß positive thread running through the music, ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ leaving the listener with the ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² unmistakable feeling that this has been ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ a musical sojourn well worth taking. ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß "There were so many things that we ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ
ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ wanted to try on this album," Smith said. ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² "We approached it in as cool and calm a ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ
ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý manner as we could, but there's no Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß
ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß denying that a lot of the time we were ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß like kids in a candy store. That's how ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ excited we were. I think a lot of that ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² energy found its way into the music, ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ which was our intent from the very ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ
ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² beginning. We want each song to carry ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß
ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß the listener on a journey, and we want ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ
ßßÛÛÜ to make sure the ride is as interesting ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü
ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² as possible. The best way I can describe ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ
ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý it is to say that this band is a Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß
ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß celebration of being alive. We all have ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß
Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß our problems, but if you're honest with ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ yourself, you can draw from that ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ
ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² darkness and turn it into something ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ
