With some help from Fred Durst’s troll magic, Staind became one of the most popular bands around the time they released their single, It’s Been Awhile. It’s still their most played song on Spotify.
But some time has passed since their breakthrough album Break the Cycle and frontman, Aaron Lewis (not to be confused with C.S Lewis) has gone full MAGA. Does this change the way we see this album?
We also look at how important tracklist order is and so, I have created Staind The Holy Gift - a reordering of the songs from Break the Cycle that, in my opinion, flows much better. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!
In addition to my world famous Shawn Mullins impression, of course we ask the big question. Is the studio version of Outside as good as the live acoustic one featuring Fred Durst?
Bon Appétit.
