Thoughts on the new Staind album?

[Spooner]

It came out yesterday, and I can't wait to get it. I'll probably pick it up on Friday.

Big fan of Staind!

Go back to your hole, grumpy old man

Looked at the lyrics.. looks full of teenage angst coming from a 30 year old man, just like the last couple albums.

I have to agree. Aaron Lewis needs to get over whatever trauma he suffered in high school and move on with his life.

i got the album last night, haven't really listened to it much, just browsed thru, seems like a lot of the same, still good, but this album seems to be slower, my fav. album is still the first (dysfuction), not much hardness on this album.

ahh well, ill listen to it when i get time, im busy w/ the new deftones right now

their new single is relatively hard rocking.

i love Aaron and his tortured power ballads, though. it's what they do the best in my opinion

Seems like his problems never end. But the music is great.

The first was Tormented.

You are correct.

Interestingly, there seems to be a natural progression of these guys toward more slower, power-ballad type songs. I hear the newest album, 14 Shades of Gray, has more slower songs as well.

I think this is perfectly fine, since in my opinion it's their best music.

Lyrics aside, I love the music.
