Staind-New Album

[missbritt]

so i just heard Staind's new song...Right Here Waiting. It's definately a kick ass song. I can't wait until their cd, Chapter V comes out in August.

What do you guys think about the song & what are you expectations for the new album?

[ozz]

i dont like it, and i expect it to suck

[lord_mugatu]

I havent heard it yet, I will most likley listen to the radio tonight to hear it. Stained it defenatly one of my favs.

[Stupified]

Before Staind was just annoying, now they're boring and annoying.

dayum. you guys really hate Staind. I find em' really good but then again my taste in music must really suck. :shuffle:

Staind is definitely one of my top favorites. I have Break The Cycle and 14 Shades, and Dysfunction I will get very soon. This new song though is kind of disappointing. It's okay, but I hope that they haven't gone completely soft on us.

If I wasn't going to be on vacation, I would definitely go see them when they're here in August, but I can't. In the last year, since my first and still only rock concert, I've had to pass up three that I really wanted to go to (Finger Eleven, Chevelle, and Audioslave) because I didn't have spare change, and now I would be able to afford going to see this show, but I won't be home, so there's another one down the drain. :rolleyes:

Don't say that. What's popular isn't always what's right.

I'd say your music taste does suck.

At least you like Megadeth, though.

Great. I saw them at that one show. They were backing up and only did a short list though.

evanescence (don't ask)

And what do you mean by that? Saw them too. :)

the clip on there main site is good. i didnt really like 14 shades of grey, to soft for me.

Dysfunction and Break the Cycle were awesome albums. I wanted to kill myself (or Aaron Lewis) after buying 14 Shades of Grey. There were 2 good songs on the whole album. I eventually threw it somewhere out in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Fuck 'em.

The tempos, even when fast, let Lewis emote, and he does so with a full-bodied croon, something that sounds particularly jarring when he sings "f***," which he does a lot, often in choruses. The croon, the profanity, and his obsession with documenting his emotions in detail — an obsession with his feelings on the level of second-wave sensitive '70s singer/songwriters who also reveled in the specificity of their situations — are in full bloom on 14 Shades of Grey, and they have the net result of either making listeners empathize completely or turning them off completely. That specificity of situation might, in fact, make the audience that connects with this smaller than the legions who loved "It's Been a While" — particularly because there are no songs with hooks, let alone hooks as undeniable as that — but those who connect with Staind will likely find this more consistently satisfying than Break the Cycle.

I completely agree with the review, especially the end. You're probably one of those " 'It's Been Awhile' people" who turns off completely.
