Album Review
The title of Staind's sophomore album refers to the misery passed on from generation to generation; specifically, singer Aaron Lewis' family issues. And Break the Cycle is an issues album — Lewis' therapy session for all to hear. "For You" reads like a final confession from child to parent ("I am f*cked up because you are"), and on the hit single "It's Been Awhile," he sings, "I cannot blame this on my father." Staind wraps up all this pain in deceivingly melodic packages, sort of like Nirvana's "All Apologies" without the depth. Lewis has a Kurt Cobain-like ache to his voice, which makes the more affecting songs — like the acoustic version of "Outside" — genuine (or at least appear that way). Cycle is ultimately no more than 50 minutes of standard-issue desolation, but the softness of many of the tracks gives it compassion, something most of Staind's peers have no time for.

Definetely breaks the cycle!
by ROTC Navy SealWell, here it is. Staind's most popular album, Break the Cycle, in all it's raw glory. Well, almost. It's the edited version, so it's not as "raw" as the original. This is what truly got Staind's name out there; with it's mixture of hardcore and soft melodies and powerful lyrics about hopelessness, helpfulness, enlightenment, your dysfunctional parents and childhood, and wisdom, how could this be ignored? Not only that, but Aaron Lewis is a master acoustic guitar player; you can hear his true talent on "Epiphany," the softest track on the album. And "Fade" is not explicit; believe me, I checked the lyrics online. I-Tunes is crap at labeling again.
