Break the Cycle [PA] by Staind

Pros: The slow songs are thoughtful and relaxing.

Cons: The heavy songs seem to go on forever of no beat or harmony.

The Bottom Line: I hope they realize that they need to go back to their metal roots and stop making hits for Mtv.

Review: Staind two years ago came bursting onto the music scene like a force of swarming bees. Hungry and craving more and more. Their cd "Dysfuction" was great. I bought it for 7 dollars and cherished it. When "Break The Cycle" came out, I rushed to buy...

Pros: Good Vocals, lyrics great when done well.

Cons: Lyrics absolutly disgusting when not done well. Aaron Lewis' Scream voice.

The Bottom Line: BTC is a good album, but ultimatly disappoints due to alot of average songs. Best: Waste, For You, It's Been A While. Worst: Take It.

Review: I only just picked this one up, 4 years after it s release, What can I say, I m cheap, and won t pay more than $10 for an album. Either way, when I gave this album it s first spin, I was disappointed, like many albums I ve heard lately, but over...

Pros: A little bit of thier older style and a little bit of thier newer style.

Cons: Not enough of thier older style.

The Bottom Line: It's a big jump from thier other work, but Outside and It's Been Awhile are reason enough to buy it.

Review: Why This CD Joined My Collection
Staind has qualified as my favorite band for quite some time now. On the weekend before this CD was released, I seen Staind perform at a concert for a local radio station. I knew then that I had to have...

Pros: Singles are catchy, A lot of emotion into their music

Cons: Some tracks are heavier than the almost alternative singles

The Bottom Line: Although, there aren't many other popular tracks on this album besides the two chart-topping singles, there are many other quality songs

Review: The band staind has been known in the past to create a lot of heavy metal rock, such as Godsmack or Limp Bizkit. In their new album, "Break the Cycle" the bands two singles, "Outside" and "It's Been Awhile" have almost a rocky alternative sound to...

Pros: Some honestly outstanding moments

Cons: Too much of the album is cluttered with monotony and uninspired junk

The Bottom Line: Break The Cycle is definitely worth a few spins. However, aside from a few lyrical excerpts that truly are gems, you won't find anything particularly incredible or innovative here.

Review: Around 2001, the rock band Staind began to rapidly rise in popularity. The reasons are endless, but the fact that they had memorable hooks and tons of radio-play appeal just may have had a thing or two to do with it. I recall clearly when...

Pros: Throught the words of the bands leed singer and the music was really cool.

Cons: I have no compaints with this great album.

The Bottom Line: This CD is the best CD of 2000 bottom line.

Review: For a while I have been looking for the perfect band to help express my feelings and to find someone who felt the same as me. Stained is the band I was looking for! I first saw stained at the family value tour and he performed outside which rock so...
