Staind. Love them or hate em, you can't deny you've heard a lot about them in the last couple years. Let's say you're a recent fan though, and wondering about picking up this Staind title for your collection. Should you? Well, that's a big maybe. Staind is a band that has drasticly changed over their career. From this cd to Dysfunction, to Break The Cycle, to 14 Shades of Gray, to Chapter V, that band has really messed with their sound. If you were with them at the start, loving Mudshuvel and such. And also enjoying Cycle, then I recommend you pick this one up. After all it is just as hard hitting, and in a lot of ways even more emotional than their later work. On the other hand, if you are more of a 14 Shades or their softer stuff, well maybe you're not really quite ready for this one. It's really a great cd, but not for the faint of heart.Read full review
There are a few good songs to speak of. The very last song (not the hidden mumbo jumbo) is the best and unfortunately I cannot mix it up with my other faves from this band because it contains a hidden ritual thing that causes the whole song to be about a half hour long. On top of that, there is a very disturbing picture of a doll having been sexually tortured to death. Now, the band is made up of males, right? And they sing about their own torment, right? So what's with the doll? I gotta say, I have all their other albums and their music usually calms the angry voices in my head, but this cd was not added to my collection. It might be rare.... but life goes on without it.
If you’re from New England and a STAIND fan this is a must have and is extremely difficult to acquire. Great find - especially since only a few copies were ever made and only meant to be given out by the band to fans who attended one of their initial live concerts.

Love the more "heavy metal" and extremely mean sounding side that this album shows off. Staind's lyrics are usually towards the darker side of life & this one is certainly no exception. This one is definately not for those who like Staind's softer side and I think the artwork implies all those statements all too well. Anything that looks like an album cover that Slayer would love is probably not a "nice" album. My only complaint is the cheap sounding vocals although I am sure when it was put out it was on a limited budget as with almost all bands. Great album for those who like the heavier side of Staind and even for us old school metal heads.
