Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Protégées of Fred Durst they may be, but Massachusetts rock quartet Staind owe precious little to the rap-core fusion that lays at the centre of the Limp Bizkit blueprint. Rather, Break The Cycle--Staind's follow-up to their million-shifting major label debut Dysfunction--harks back further into to the alt-rock archive. A catalogue of fraught, heart-on-sleeve angst-rock, it's very quickly evident that Staind's heritage lays in the bruised, sensitive emo-grunge of Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam rather than any of their immediate peers. Trouble is, frontman Aaron Lewis' flat vocal lacks the weathered, pained dimension that all too often lent the Seattle sound its eerie pathos, and his lyrics are at best, functional; "Old man lies in an alleyway dead/ A little girl lost just stands there and cries," suggests the hand-wringing misery-tract of "Open Your Eyes"--a rather artless vision of social decay that never actually concludes anything beyond the fact that poverty, drugs and skipping school are very bad things. By the closing live take of "Outside"--on which Fred Durst crops up, popping on his sensitive cap for a syrupy duet with Lewis--you're left with the overriding feeling that Staind have absolutely nothing meaningful to say about the human condition; something that renders Break The Cycle as little more than an exercise in futility. --Louis Pattison

By
This review is from: Break the Cycle (Audio CD)
Staind is one of the few artists that stay true to heavy metal and their song, It's Been awhile is a great song. One of my favorite songs. Fade is another great song from a great band.Break the cycle has to be considered one of best rock albums in recent years.

By "peg_city" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Break the Cycle (Audio CD)
Before this album I never listened to staind, to tell you the truth I never listened to rock music outside of Rage Against the machines. But this album changed that. As soon as I heard It's been Awhile I went to go buy the album and I was not at all disapointed. In my opinion the best album of 2001 by a mile. With 5 Million sold Staind reached the mainstream world.

Staind - Break the Cycle,
By JC (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Break the Cycle (Audio CD)
Staind is the best rock band. I think Break the Cycle is their best album so far. My favorite song is "Outside" but they don't play that song on the radio much anymore. I like the new music by staind from their album 14 Shades of Grey but I think their old songs are even better. No matter what, Staind is alot better than the pop crap on the radio these days.
