Editorial Reviews: Riding on the success of their last three chart topping albums, Staind is back with the highly anticipated release of their sixth studio album, The Illusion of Progress. The new Flip/Atlantic recording will be released on August 19th with the first single, Believe, hitting radio on June 24th. Staind' s last 3 studio albums have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart, putting them in an elite class that includes U2, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Van Halen, and Disturbed. Over the past decade, Staind has sold more than 15 million records worldwide. They' ve had four #1 singles that span three different radio formats, including two massive crossover singles, It' s Been Awhile and Right Here (certified RIAA gold). But the band has never let their massive success get to their heads, lead guitarist Mike Mushok says that above all the band values a record that we love, and after that, we want other people to hear it, like it and be able to relate to it. Working with renowned producer Johnny K on the album, it will be impossible not to love what Lewis considers the band' s most musical CD with songs that are pretty timeless in their texture. Staind will be on the road all summer with 3 Doors Down headlining shows in over 40 cities across the country before joining Nickelback in September to continue the tour internationally.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A Little Soft But..... Comment: ...This CD has it's track or two but I think Staind has gotten to soft with this one. I still like the music but if you are looking for the old staind, they have gone AWOL.. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent! Comment: I love this CD, every song is great! Caused me to want to go out and buy all the other Staind CDs I dont have! Customer Rating: Summary: Could they be anymore anoying ??? Comment: This is ablbum is torture to listen to. Is anyone sick of Aaron's whining yet?? How much more of this garbage music can we take ??? They should have quit after their second CD. AWFUL, POINTLESS, PASSIONLESS... Customer Rating: Summary: A turnaround for Staind Comment: I own all Staind albums, and all I can say is what a fresh breath of air compared to their previous album, Chapter V. Not to rub any body the wrong way, but I only liked one-third of Chapter V and was quite disappointed expecting a superb CD like their previous albums. They're starting to change their sound for the better as well. It's more calm but still hard at the same time. If you like their previous songs "It's Been A While," "Epiphany" "Outside," "Home," "Zoe Jane," etc. definitely pick this album up! (PS: Aaron Lewis, release an acoustic CD please! ) Customer Rating: Summary: This CD is just like the cover- Middle of the Road Comment: I love Staind. Always have, always will. On one hand- I'm just tried of hearing the same stuff I've heard on previous Staind CDs rehashed into fresh new songs. On the other hand, this rehashed new music sounds better than most of their other music starting with 14 Shades of Gray... Basically put, same kind of music, same musical style, nearly identical lyrics-based themes from previous CDs... Five stars for their rehashing efforts. One star for their noteable lack of new creativity equals 3 stars, middle of the road for me. More Reviews
