maxpowerAug 2, 2005The fact that people would consider this pleasing music is just sad. Lame lyrics and generic instrumentation make this just another piece of crap floating in the toliet of modern mainstream acts, if you want music with emotion i suggest you try some bands that don't suck. I also get a kick out of the people that yell "f*ck the haters" this cd is bad, deal with it

LeoRJun 7, 2003Really good album. Although I miss the harder edge songs like For You and anything from the Dysfunction album, this is Staind's real sound. I give it an 8 only because the songs "Tonight" and "Reality" sound the same. Also the last song "Intro" should have been replaced by the song "Let It Go" which you can download if you buy the CD. You can't expect every song to be good.

joey5beatJan 19, 2004is this a joke? do these other people really think this is good music? maybe cliches are much better the 15th time around for some. but for me, utter poop + 1. once again my formula: corn ball, trite lyrics + unimaginative instumentation (soft verses "loud", lame choruses are not the only way to make pop music) + bad musicians + completely uninteresting = shi-ite.

joebJun 28, 2003i thought this cd was not their best, but pretty damn good. You just can't stop being addicted, it seems like, to Arrons voice in all the songs. And i agree w/ most of you that i wish they would bring forth their heavier roots back like "dysfunction" or even their VERY first cd tormented. Still, a great cd all around. I recomend any staind fan to buy the cd!

JessicaWJan 1, 2006I love Staind, but this cd is not as good as BTC or Dysfunction. There some really great songs like "Fray" and "Blow Away" but the anger has been toned down as a whole on this cd and I Ioved the anger. Still, a good cd overall.

StaindRulesNov 7, 2004The only album that can top this is Break the Cycle...oh, also by Staind. These fucking critics obviosly are shallow and have no ability to relate to anything deeper than "hot for teacher" snort another line rock.

DanGApr 24, 2004Incredible music with incredible lyrics. This CD is one of the few really great rock albums out there today. If you listen to the critics on this one you would be missing out on one the best albums I have heard in all my life.

JamesOSep 25, 2006Stainds got 3 albums, this is the worst, but is still a good album, the critics clearly have a lack for any enthuasm with involving themsleves in the lyrics. Staind have a great vocalist, and there guitarists are great aswell. This album is not great, but it's not bad. Get Chapter V - You'll be impressed ;)

Awards & Rankings
-
'14 Shades of Grey' features no standout moments or highlights, just a formulaic, plodding, sixty plus moribund minutes that make this album about an hour too long. Avoid at all costs, even if you're a member of Staind's family.
-
Those who connect with Staind will likely find this more consistently satisfying than Break the Cycle.

UncutAt times this album seems interminable. [Aug 2003, p.116]
