staind is an interesting band. They started off with tormented which was good at the core. it was bad ass. but it got very repetitive. then they dropped dysfunktion which blew Tormented out of the water in my opinion. It had alot of variety. they kept switching up styles in the songs. then they did something unprecidented...well maybe not. they went back to thier roots and made a cd that was repetitive. (the first song on that cd is incredible though like them or not.) The only thing though that we repetivitve was the riffs and drum lines. Then 14 shades came out. i wasn't looking forward to it but i got it anyway...seeing what the old boys were up to. Not only were the guitar riffs all the same.... the lyrics were too sing song-y and rhymed, and it lacked a power balled such as 4 walls or that hidden track on dysfunktion. or even Epiphany (even though it wasn't up to par with the other 2). None the less, I can still feel staind kinda like i can't still feel KORN i know they have good stuff in them...it's just not comming out.
