    Staind is one of the worst albums I've heard all year, a top to bottom exercise in bland, formulaic, boring rock.

SongsI haven't listened to Staind for very long, but this album has impressed me so much that I certainly had to give it a positive review. Songs like "Failure", "Eyes Wide Open", and "Wannabe" are quite easy to relate to, as well as having melodies beyond pleasant to experience, and a power that strikes me at every note. This album is the best that I've listened to in years. Full Review »
