Don't see much in early Staind, mid- Staind or late Staind. Sorry man.

But you can only get this album on eBay. Have you heard "Tormented'"? Its the ONLY good album they made!

I'll have to take your word for that one good sir knight. As I said though, nothing I've heard would lead me to believe that they could actually produce something worth listening to more that once, let alone buying.

so those threads are somehow less appropriate?

It's a public forum man. yeah someone decided to start a little game. who cares?

I just though the statement "this is a REAL thread" was a little odd.

man I suppose I should have put my tounge in cheek icon up. They are just substanceless, fun threads. Make of them what you will, but there is zero discussion going on in them.

right. so they are not "real" threads. I get it.

Anyway, back to topic... which was how the nasty media has ruined the musical titans known as Staind.

I don't blame the media for bands deciding to put all artistic integrity aside and just make music for money. It's all on the band. The only thing the media does is try to curb the public's view on what is good or worthwhile.

But in Staind's case Fred Durst(media) offered them millions for them changing their sound to a generic radio-friendly sound(although "Break The Cycle" wasnt that horrid like Chapter V). So Staind might not have had a chance at fame if they turned him down. As he says in a song "I gave in, too much pressure". Honestly, im callin' you out! What would you have done??????????
