Not for me
I can't even take this guy seriously. Another hyped up band with a lead singer that sure as hell is another wannabe poser who tries too too hard . It seems he just wishes he had it hard. Just watching the unplugged video said it all. I you want to hear depressing or just plain out Real music from a person who speaks the truth about his hard life than check out Mike Ness(Social Distortion) or Layne Staley(Alice In Chains). These are two songwriters who spoke nothing, but the truth about there Real Hard times unlike Aaron Lewis or whoever that poser is.


Not Bad For Nu Metal
I myself despise nu metal, but after hearing It's Been Awhile on KNAC, I decided to get it. Actually, thid CD is not so bad for nu metal. It's not too bad, once you get used to it. I can be kind of depressing sometimes, but that is expected for a nu metal CD. I got this clean version because I don't really go for a lot of swearing in the music. It kind of ruins the song. So I wouyld call this the only nu metal CD worth getting.


depressing

whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, i'm not really sure. never heard a more depressing album than this. sure, people may relate a lot to the whole album being that it speaks what they go through and feel. but one wonders if that doesn't actually fuel the depression and magnify it. and aaron sounds on the verge of crying. . . almost whining at some parts, but i guess that's the whole point. personal favourite track is 'fade'.


One of the best rock albums out there!
I definitely recommend this version if, like me, you want to avoid the cursing on this CD (and there is some). I bought this CD after hearing "It's Been Awhile" (which is one of my favorites, and one of the best songs on the CD) on the radio a lot.

However, not all the tracks have cursing in them (like "Epiphany" and "Outside"), which are also some of the best tracks on the CD, along with "Fade" (my personal favorite), and "For You". I give this a 4 out of 5, because I don't like every track on the CD (track 1, "Open Your Eyes" and track 12, "Waste", which uses the "F-word" repeatedly are the ones I dislike the most).


Tough music for tough times
Aarron lewis is a great song writer, probally one of todays better writers. This Cd is a very good cd. True almost all of the songs are somewhat dark. That is okay because I don't like to hear good day sunshine all the time. Almost all the songs are worth listening except for the one where he just screams a bunch.
This cd is great for when you're going to tough times. Just listen and its weird how sometimes you can really relate to it. Over all I feel this is one of todays better cd's. Plus he doesn't cuss as much Fred Durst does.
