All the Shinedown CD’s are nicely recorded. They’re one of my favorite groups.

A CD I just got and am enjoying, but it might be a bit too mellow for this crowd is the new Tantric, The End Begins. Very clever use of a violin and a great recording overall.

I also got Def Leppard’s latest, Songs from the Sparkle Lounge. I’ve only listened to it once, but it sounds pretty good so far.
