THREAT TO SURVIVAL (DELUXE) (RED VINYL)

Single LP pressing of Shinedown s fifth album Threat To Survival on Clear Red Colored Vinyl. Front-loaded with two of its hardest-hitting (And classic-sounding) cuts in Asking for It and the hefty first single Cut the Cord both of which are as hook-laden as they are bruising Threat to Survival begins to detour from the post-grunge highway with State of My Head a slick amalgam of electro-pop and vintage alt-rock with a catchy as hell though extremely well-worn chorus. Meticulously crafted radio fodder like How Did You Love Thick as Thieves and the Killers-lite Misfits follow suit further distancing the group from its nu-metal origins but the band hasn t completely lost its knack for crafting punishing blasts of groove-laden and distortion-heavy modern rock.
