1.Fly From the Inside- great single,really inspiring lyrics,10/10
2.Left Out- really cool guitars,a lot of different beats, great lyrics, 9/10
3.Lost in the Crowd- good song, more mellow. 8/10
4.No More Love- i love this song. great everything. 10/105.Better Version- fantastic lyrics. different sound. 10/10
6.Burning Bright- great slower song. great message in the lyrics of this one. 9/10
7.In Memory- my favorite on the cd cause of the lyrics mostly but the overall sound is great. 10/10
8.All I Ever Wanted- Couldn't get into this song. good lyrics and different beat. 7/10
9.Stranger Inside- 2nd favorite on the cd. i like to listen to this one when i'm frustrated. fantastic lyrics. 10/10
10.Lacerated- least favorite on the cd. 6/1011.Crying Out- great, fabulous. cool song. 10/10
12. 45- lyrics couldn't be better. cool sound. depressing song but we all need those at times. 10/10Buy this cd. you won't regret it...its worth the 10 bucks...in fact its worth more then 10..."

"45 is one of the greatest songs I ever heard, and has been since I first heard it on the radio a few months ago. Leave a Whisper is one of the most perfect albums ever passionately made. Shinedown can write songs, and when you're soaked in their awesome rhythm and lyrics, you'll never be able to stop listening. Also, listen to the song "Cold" by Crossfade, and buy their album when it comes out, you'll thank me."

Let your light Shinedown!

"This is a great album, it comes from the Florida quintet Shinedown. Soon to be a break out in the world of rock.
1.Fly From the Inside(10/10)-First single, great lyrics, "I found a way to steal the sun from the sky." Simply amazing.
2.Left Out(8/10)-My least favorite, a little repetitive, but all in all it puts forth great effort.
3.Lost in the Crowd(10/10)-Ever had the feeling of losing something or someone important to you, this song says it all.
4.No More Love(9/10)-At times sounds like Linkin Park, but still hard and heavy and a great song.
5.Better Version(10/10)-Everyone has had the feeling like they are never good enough, this song puts it in terms everyone can relate to.
6.Burning Bright(10/10)-This has become one of my all time favorite songs, buy the album for this song alone if nothing else.
7.In Memory(10/10)-Another great, makes you think.
8.All I Ever Wanted(10/10)-Oh my god, this songs just flows with emotion of being left behind with out anyone. Words can't begin to describe it.
9.Stranger Inside(10/10)-A very angry song, also the heaviest on the album. Very aggresive and gets the point across.
10.Lacerated(9/10)-Very unusual, nice tribal beat. Interesting and different, but still good.
11.Crying Out(9/10)-OK, so this guy can really write touching lyrics, this song is pure genius.
12.45(10/10)-This song is extremely deep, weird to end the album with a suicide ballad, but I love it. It takes you down a path of death and depression.
This album is by far one of the best I have ever purchases, and I think everyone else should also go out and buy it. These guys deserve success for the master peice of an album."

The best CD I've heard in a while.

""Leave a Whisper" is a truly amazing CD that I recommend to any alternative rock fan out there. Almost every song is good enough to be its own CD. Since this is the case, I'll review each song.1.) Fly From the Inside - 9/10. This is the first Shinedown song I heard that gave me a hunch to get the CD. It was great, but I've pretty much tired of it now. Not that that will happen to everyone, but I listened to it A LOT.2.) Left Out - 9/10. I really like the lyrics to this song, but I'm not to big on how the chorus sounds. The intro ("I know you need to get even") is awesome, though.3.) Lost in the Crowd - 10/10. This song is very good. It's not as heavy as the others and sounds a bit like Burning Bright, but it's magnificent on its own.4.) No More Love - 8/10. This song was pretty good, and I liked it for a while, but I don't like the chorus too much in this one either. Anyway, it's still done very well.5.) Better Version - 10/10. The lyrics are freaking awesome on this song. I can relate to it so well, as I'm sure many others can. Definitely a huge highlight in the CD.6.) Burning Bright - 8/10. This song is pretty cool, but its hard to understand some of the lyrics. All in all, however, it's good.7.) In Memory - 10/10. This is the best song on the CD, hands-down. This is the true highlight. This is the song you need to buy this CD for. It's truly amazing.8.) All I Ever Wanted - 5/10. Ugh. Not much to say about this one. This is the worst song on the CD. It doesn't fit in with the others. There's nothing new and exciting about it like the others. And it just doesn't sound that good.9.) Stranger Inside - 10/10. This song has the best and most powerful lyrics on the CD. This is also a highlight, and it's definitely excellent.10.) Lacerated - 8/10. When I said that the lyrics were hard to understand in Burning Bright, I forgot about Lacerated. If you can understand half of this song, I'll give you a cookie. A big one. But it's not bad.11.) Crying Out - 10/10. This is the song that contains the phrase "There is no turning back now that you've opened up to your mind", one of the best lyrics I've ever heard in a CD. Another highlight. And finally...12.) 45 - 10/10. This is another highlight. This is the song that gave me the final push to buy the CD. It's almost as good as In Memory, but it's the second best on the album, I'd say.Overall, this album is a must-buy to almost anyone. This is the most-cherished CD I have next to Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory. It's almost as good as it, too, if not better. Buy it now!!"
