Anyone who has ever been to a Shinedown show knows there is a huge connection with the audience and the band. I have seen so many Shinedown shows where the audience sings almost every word to every song. I have also seen many fans in tears because they have a special connection to one of their songs.

Zach and I had a fantastic conversation that covered the bands involvement in building the show outside of the music. We talked about the new music and how Three Six Five took off virally from an acoutic performace before it was realeased. We also talked about Zachs early days as a guitarist, teching and eventually playing bass for Saliva, to teching for 3 Doors Down, to playing bass for Shinedown, and then getting the gig to play guitar for the band.

There is a huge section of the interview where we talk about this rock and country thing that is going on. Zach's connection to Jelly Roll, with whom he would like Shinedown to collaborate, and so much more. I had a lot of fun spending time with Zach and I hope you enjoy the conversation below as much as I did.

Shinedown Albums Ranked

The early 2000s brought a wealth of upstart hard rock bands that would come to impact radio over the next decade-plus. One of those acts to truly dominate the airwave was Florida rockers Shinedown.

The band enjoyed a slow-building success off their debut disc Leave a Whisper, built upon their audience with Us and Them, endured a lineup change and came out bigger than ever with The Sound of Madness and continue to be one of the biggest rock bands going with such albums as Amaryllis and Threat to Survival. But which of these albums ranks as their best work?

Join us below as we scroll through Shinedown's studio album output and rank their discs from weakest to strongest.
