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

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IgotagopeePFeb 28, 2006holy shit,staind sucks! wowwww they are one of the worst bands i ever heard, theyre fuckin hippies seriously i hate bands like that. they are so cheesy and have nooo talent at all

AdamDJan 5, 2006eh, ive heard better (no not franz ferdinan and stuff like that), but deffinatley not bad. i really liked Everything Changes and Falling....but Paper Jesus was absolutly horrible.

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.

calvinhobbesDec 29, 2005another excellent staind cd.the people who dont like this album probably think meaningless shit like franz feredinand is good music.

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...

jamesdNov 5, 2005awesome, pure A+ album!

nelsonmOct 27, 2005HAHA- Staind sucks. Really. They do. This is generic radio rock at its worst. well at least the junior high kids and people who only buy clear channel rock can cancel out my 0 with a 10. cmon people look underneath the surface....

LeslieSOct 11, 2005Before this album was released Mike Mushok said it was "brutal" and "a lot of people are going to be surprised by this album." What a load of crap!

-
KellyOOct 11, 2005Am I the only one (besides E! Online) that realizes that this album is not at all different from "Break the Cycle?"

iamgodbOct 10, 2005fuck yall, staind is the shit
-
-
tobiOct 3, 2005it's a great album, with many great songs, but the other staind albums were better
-
-
jonathankSep 29, 2005one of the best discs a have ever listen to
-
-
chrisfSep 21, 2005not the best staind album but stil there is something about this album that i can not put it down, if there are any non-staind fans reading this review then i would reckonmend listening to 'break the cycle' or 'dysfunction'
-
-
ChrisSep 19, 2005I HATE STAIND!!! Absolutly no musical talent what so ever, if they were never to make an album again i would be soo happy.

-
MackSep 17, 2005Come on, how can you listen to this? I suppose fans of this album also think Nickelback are at the forefront of meaningful rock. This album is more like a parody of today's alt-metal crap. Giving this album a 0 rating is obvious once you've listened to real music.

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.
