Brown.\nWith 2001's multi-platinum-selling album BREAK THE CYCLE and the accompanying hit \"It's Been Awhile,\" Springfield, Massachusetts-based hard rockers Staind went from nu-metal contenders to crossover mega-stars. Luckily, however, fame did little to change the band's trademark mix of solidly melodic metal, earnest lyrics, and unpretentious what-you-see-is-what-you-get image. Two albums later, CHAPTER V shows the band branching out a little, albeit in a typically understated, tasteful way. Thematically, many of the songs here concern the price of sudden success and the group's relationship with its uber-loyal fanbase. \"Reply\" is a heartfelt thanks for every adoring letter, while \"Run Away\" expresses uncertainty about the fickleness of fortune. Musically, the group sticks to what it does best; a mix of grungy metal and heartfelt ballads, but with a few welcome twists such as the tricky Robert Fripp-like guitar picking on \"Paper Jesus\" and \"Please\" and the complex rhythm-section figures on \"Right Here.\" \"Everything Changes\" is one of the band's best-ever slow songs, sounding more like the Goo Doo Dolls than Godsmack. A subtly affecting album of substantial music, CHAPTER V showcases Staind at the top of its game.","brand":"Staind","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588979192041,"sku":"9WVHRA-4234-00","price":18.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/staind-chapter-v_K263p.jpg?v=1759176487","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/staind-chapter-v","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
