================================================ Subject: NCR - RE: STAIND A SELL-OUT From: "Debbi R" To: Date: Sun 22 Jul 2001 19:40:37 -0700 ================================================ I couldn't disagree more. I don't know about teeny bopper radio listeners since I don't listen to commercial radio, but I never would have discovered them if they hadn't released such a strong album (break the cycle). Someone here grabbed it and wrote a brief review recommending it highly and I bought it solely on that recommendation. I haven't regretted it for a moment. I've bought dysfunction since then and like it, too, although not as much as "cycle" Either way, they write what they write and I'd make the same argument here that I made for U2 -- if you don't like the direction they're headed, feel free not to take the ride. Their purpose shouldn't be to make sure that everyone who enjoyed the early ride continues to ride with them for all eternity. Their purpose should be to be true to themselves and their art and let anyone who enjoys it hop on the train.

Their music has changed ever sinvce Dysfuntion. Dysfuntion was such a harder album more like hard rock. Stanid has gone from being hard..to this slow shit. they are now an alternative rock band. any so-called hard rock band that has their song played on STAR 104 along with such gay bands like N'Sync deserve to be hated. Staind was good, and they cared about their music...now their just out to get teeny bopper radio listeners off the air waves. Whatever Staind..do ur thing.
