Yawn...
This has a few interesting moments but I could never sit down and listen to this from start to finish without being bored out of my skull. To me this cd is just more of the same which is not a good thing. .


The strength of a tree
" This lyric sums up the basis of this album. "The strength of a tree begins in its roots. As usual, Aaron Lewis is able to blow us away with his lyrical abilites with indepth views of his own self-conflicting battles. He shares with us more of his inner torment through great, flowing lines, accompanied by the bands perfect synchronization. Staind continues to impress with smash hits without losing touch with some of their previous heaviness. Whether enjoying brilliant lyrics, harmonious melody, or an occasional thrash sound, this ablum is an excellent additon to any rock collection. .


Finally Something From Staind We Can Like...
There. Chapter V is not a big steaming pile of dog poo. I said it. And believe me after 4 Shades of Grey, it makes me extremely happy to say this. Just a few short years ago, I thought Staind was the greatest rock/heavy band known to man. Then they went pop on us. So when this new discc came out, I was worried. I'll admit it. I borrowed it from a friend before I decided to take the plunge and buy it. And happily it has been a good purchase.
On "14 Shades Of Grey", all the fire that made Staind = Staind, was gone. With the exception of "Price To Play" there was nothing with any zest at all. Now "V" has that in spades! From the hammering "Paper Jesus" to the in your face "Schizophrenic Conversations" this disc is a moving step in the right direction. The fire is partially back. Staind still do explore their new found pop sensibilities. For example "Falling" is enough rock to make you stand up and take notice. But still radio friendly.
So there you have it. Staind might never be the pure power house of rage and angst we so loved on "Tormented" or "Dysfunction". But you have to give kudos to Staind for every album being different. And cheers to them for finding their rock n roll voice again. Good cd. Worth buying.


Eh....
I only like 4 songs on this album and the tracks are 1 2 6 and 11 the rest i did'nt like so this was an okay allbum.


I loved it!
This is one of those rare finds for me. It is very rare that you find a cd that has really good music throughout. I still listen to the cd all the time.
