Staind is an American rock band formed in Springfield, Massachusetts. They consist of Aaron Lewis on vocals, Mike Mushok on guitar, Johnny April on bass, and (formerly) Jon Wysocki on drums.They have changed up their genres since their first album. They started with a raw heavy-metal/nu-metal sound (Dysfunction), then did Break the Cycle, which received a lot of fame; their hit single "It's Been Awhile" has received a lot of radio play, and ranked high on many charts.Staind started off making songs about depression, hate, and drug habits on their debut album, Tormented. Their next album, Dysfunction, was somewhat softer and less aggressive. It still revolves around the topics of dysfunction and anger. They then released their most popular album, Break the Cycle, which adopted a softer sound than their last album, containing ballads and slower, less aggressive tracks. This pattern continues up to their newest self titled album, which returns to their roots, and brings back a heavy sound.Since their self-titled album, they changed up their drummers. Their new drummer is Sal Giancarelli as of 2011.The band went on hiatus in 2012, with reunions in 2014, 2017 and 2019, eventually reuniting for their first album in over a decade in 2023, Confessions of the Fallen. Lewis has recorded several solo Country Music albums, while Mushok formed the Supergroup Saint Asonia with former Three Days Grace singer Adam Gontier, along with Rich Beddoe and Corey Lowery, in 2015.

comment
Genre Shift: They've done this a lot. Tormented was full-on metal, Break the Cycle was slower and softer, The Illusion of Progress was mostly acoustic, and on their self-titled seventh album, they went back to metal.

Concept Album: Tormented is based around a depressed person who cocks a gun at the beginning of the first song of the album ("Tolerate"), and shoots himself at the end of the last song ("Four Walls").

 Staind (Music) / int_ce6555f0
comment
Lighter and Softer: Break the Cycle, while still pretty aggressive in some parts, is less heavy than their first two albums and even contains a few outright ballads. The band would continue in this vein for the next three albums before returning to a harsher sound with their Self-Titled Album.

Surprisingly Gentle Song
 Staind (Music) / int_ea454c4a
comment
Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Four Walls", the final track from Tormented, is surprisingly soft compared to the very aggressive songs that make up the rest of the album. "It's Been Awhile" and "Outside" from Break The Cycle are mostly acoustic in the verses before getting heavier in the chorus. "Tangled Up In You", from The Illusion of Progress certainty qualifies; Aaron Lewis once called it the "sappiest" song he's ever written.
