What happened to Staind?

I never really listened to Dysfunctional at first because I really was not all that into rock or them as a band at the time.  I just listened to whatever friends and cousins listened to.  Then I really started to like them when their Break the Cycle album was released.  That album IMO is pure gold.  It is pretty good hard rock. amazing lyrics and listenable all the way through.

Now I really didn't like Chapter V at all.  And 14 shades of grey was just ok.  And so far I guess I think that I like The Illusion of Progress, but it comes nowhere near to where Break the Cycle came.  Anyone else feel the same?  I mean I am for a band changing things up but they kinda went soft which doesnt help.  I don't mind a mix but everything seems to have went soft.  I loved the darker, moodier tone of Break the Cycle!

yeah break the cycle was great. the other albums kinda sucked, which is a shame really.

Yeah, it's been a while...

They're the support act for Nickelback's tour. I was at the concert a fortnight ago. Here's a video of them at the concert I was at...

Theres better rock then Staind, no meaning the horrible but there songs are overplayed

Buh-dun-tiss!

I won't expound my opinion, because it will just come off like mindless trolling . . . that ought to suffice. "
