tobiOct 3, 2005it's a great album, with many great songs, but the other staind albums were better

DonHAug 10, 2005I dont know why the critics seem to hate Staind. But this is good music, minus the sexual and violent overtone that most music has become. It's not better than the 2 previous releases, but it's still better than most music that's out today. Screw the critics and give it a listen, it's worth it.

ChristianKAug 15, 2005Simply the best album out today... Maybe not as good as Break the Cycle, but that is not possible!

AnnieSAug 27, 2005I just bought the cd and it is just as good if not better than all their other cds with the exception of dysfunction. The best songs are paper jesus, schizophrenic conversations, and everything changes. Staind has done it again!!!!

JesseCSep 5, 2005Staind has amazed me once again. I cant believe people would actually give this album a 0. Obviously they have no musical knowledge whatsoever. As a final note, i have to say that my favorite song on the cd is Please. Props to Aaron Lewis.

JBoozeAug 12, 2005The reason this band has a following and sells is because people relate to what Aaron Lewis sings about in his lyrics. The topics of the songs, if listened to, vary and it's not all "whiny rich old man" with a case of the poor me's. It's definitely worth listening to.

[Anonymous]Aug 16, 2005Ignore the critics if you're a fan, Staind are still going strong with elements combined from all four previous albums and some nods to Alice In Chains and possibly 3 Doors Down. The solos are mostly tiresome, but the vocals show the band is still strong in their style. An album for the fans.

jonathankSep 29, 2005one of the best discs a have ever listen to

JessicaWJan 1, 2006The problem is that nothing will ever be comparable to Dysfunction or BTC. I think that this cd is missing the anger and the agnst that Aaron expresses so well. I love Staind, but they need to get the edginess back. Not a bad cd, though, just not as good as the earlier ones.

LukasRDec 15, 2006Some songs have been used to show a very strong image, which may be the downfall in them, making them over powered, while other songs ahieve brilliance, thus i will give a 7, since there is great music on this album to be heared.

shinedownDec 19, 2006best staind cd to date...the ppl who said that they have no talent and bad vocals are just plain retarded..aaron lewis is the best singer along with brent smith and the whole band are good with their instruments

willtApr 12, 2006im pretty bloody suprised at the reviews, i thought this album was good. alright, perhaps staind lose out on the fact that aron lewis is essentialy a bald fat man singing about personal failings and issues, but the music is GOOD!!!!!!!! GOOD I TELL U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OAKsideJun 12, 2006Staind is looking tops again, great album. But Chapter V still sits Bottom 50 Worst metascores in history. Sometimes reviewers can't contain their plague, and it infects serious efforts like Chapter V. Pity.

AngMJun 20, 2006Don't listen to it if you don't like it!

MikeNov 16, 2005This is a great album...These guys have evolved over the years into a great band...not to be lumped in with Fred Durst's Limp "Triscuit" trendy rap metal trash..this is here to stay and rightly so...

DSomersAug 16, 2005Staind just keeps getting better and better. A must have for any rock fan!!!

GregMAug 25, 2006Critics say bland, I say the slow, meandering mid-tempo rock on this album reminds me of old, long, rocking Skinnard tunes. Good album.

Chapter V is merely a carbon copy of, uh, chapters I-IV, simply rehashing the same punishing riffs and self-pitying lyrics.
-
Rolling StoneIt's when Staind crank down the sludge and slacken the tempos that things get heavy in a bad way. [11 Aug 2005, p.72]
-
The acoustic guitars have largely been set aside on Chapter V, leaving Staind to pummel away at its troubles and hoping that people still have time to listen to self-pitying grown men moan about their dysfunctional childhoods.
