Staind seem to have always kinda gotten
a bad wrap in the music world. Sure they've sold millions
of records, landed a slew of heavy rotation hits, and become
somewhat of a household name with America, but no one thought
they would ever last this long (of shake their Fred Durst
affilation).
With front man Aaron Lewis getting set to
embark on a major solo tour it seems only perfect for their
record label to cash in on a greatest hits package just
before Christmas but with that said Staind are worthy
of this treatment all the same and have finally ridden
themselves of the nu-metal tag that seemed to linger around
them.
Not only do you get all the singles, (and there are
a lot of em) you as well receive a few extra little ditty's
including a remixed track from their earliest days that
uncovers a very youthful energetic band that is far from
what stands today. Covering their whole career this CD
easily shows how maturity and song writing skills have
escalated from being an average hard rock group to seasoned
hit makers that will have songs etched in our minds for
years to come. |
