GREAT
They recorded this album in Aaron Lewis's barn (with all the professional essentials) which saved alot of time and money since it costs quite a bit to record at a studio, which gave the album a real good sound and feel the acoustics in that building did amazing things for this CD. . There are alot of nice mellow meaningful songs on this album that really grab you and pull you in especially "The Corner". If you are a Staind fan or just want something that has MORE feeling buy this album, it is worth it.


It's Staind!
This CD is more of the same. What do you expect? The music moves me like no other. They are by far my favorite band for their unique sound.


The Illusion of Progress
I love Aaron Lewis's music and this is a great addition to my collection.


Close, but not quite
Yes, it is on the softer side, and can get a little bland at times; but, all in all, it's a good album. Well, comparatively speaking, this album is almost as good as the rest. Their slower "ballad style" songs are decent but repetitive. It is a good album. I enjoyed it; however, I'd rather listen to Chapter V or 14 Shades of Grey.


Lame
The only way I can really describe it is "lame. The album isn't really all THAT bad but it just all sounds so generic and bland. " I'm so disappointed because I love Staind (from Dysfunction to Chapter V). The one song that seemed promising was Rainy Day Parade but it's just goofy sounding when he actually sings that during the chorus (Rainy Day Parade???. . c'mon now). I guess you need to really REALLY love Staind to truly enjoy this or else you'll be like me and just go ". . eh. . ".
