Product Description
Riding on the success of their last three chart topping albums,
Staind is back with the highly anticipated release of their sixth
studio album, The Illusion of Progress. The new Flip/Atlantic
recording will be released on August 19th with the first single, Believe, hitting radio on June 24th. Staind' s last 3 studio
albums have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album
chart, putting them in an elite class that includes U2, Metallica,
Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Van Halen, and Disturbed.
Over the past decade, Staind has sold more than 15 million
records worldwide. They' ve had four #1 singles that span three
different radio formats, including two massive crossover
singles, It' s Been Awhile and Right Here (certified RIAA
gold). But the band has never let their massive success get to
their heads, lead guitarist Mike Mushok says that above all the
band values a record that we love, and after that, we want
other people to hear it, like it and be able to relate to it. Working
with renowned producer Johnny K on the album, it will be impossible
not to love what Lewis considers the band' s most musical CD
with songs that are pretty timeless in their texture. Staind will
be on the road all summer with 3 Doors Down headlining shows
in over 40 cities across the country before joining Nickelback
in September to continue the tour internationally.

This is ablbum is torture to listen to. Is anyone sick of Aaron's whining yet?? How much more of this garbage music can we take ??? They should have quit after their second CD. AWFUL, POINTLESS, PASSIONLESS...
 A turnaround for Staind November 11, 2008

I own all Staind albums, and all I can say is what a fresh breath of air compared to their previous album, Chapter V. Not to rub any body the wrong way, but I only liked one-third of Chapter V and was quite disappointed expecting a superb CD like their previous albums.
They're starting to change their sound for the better as well. It's more calm but still hard at the same time. If you like their previous songs "It's Been A While," "Epiphany" "Outside," "Home," "Zoe Jane," etc. definitely pick this album up!
(PS: Aaron Lewis, release an acoustic CD please! )
 This CD is just like the cover- Middle of the Road November 8, 2008

I love Staind. Always have, always will. On one hand- I'm just tried of hearing the same stuff I've heard on previous Staind CDs rehashed into fresh new songs. On the other hand, this rehashed new music sounds better than most of their other music starting with 14 Shades of Gray... Basically put, same kind of music, same musical style, nearly identical lyrics-based themes from previous CDs... Five stars for their rehashing efforts. One star for their noteable lack of new creativity equals 3 stars, middle of the road for me.
Unbelievable !! ...and fantastic. October 19, 2008

I really enjoyed the first couple of Staind cd's but always wanted them to sound like this one. I could never sit through a whole cd without feeling like shooting myself (not really but it just brought me down)...this cd I could listen to all the way through with no problems emotionally and my wish for this band has come true. I don't know if that producer fixed them up or what but this is really one of the best cd's on the planet. I think it beats Nickelbacks All the Right Reasons which was a great cd and stayed in the top 40 for a couple of years. But it !!! Staind should be headlining not opening for Nickelback.
where is the old staind October 14, 2008

I have been a staind fan from back in the late 90's. I loved dysfunction, tormented, and break the cycle. I think staind is going down hill. I dontknow if it is the lable or what. I understand Aaron Lewis loves his life now but his words use to be so intense and powerful. Like he was speaking my words. Now every song is the same song just a little different words. If you want to hear a good album listen to dysfunction the real fans understand.
