Staind:Break The Cycle [Austraila Bonus Track] CD 2001
Created: 02/01/07
"But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it"
The primary reason that I purchased --or should I say-- REpurchased it was because I first bought it at a retail store when it was released a few years ago. I kept the CD in my car's CD changer. I sang along to most of the songs on the CD (especially Outside and It's Been Awile).
Recently I took second place at the finals of a Bay Area Karaoke contest. I wanted to sing Staind, but it was a duet, and my partner didn't know the song well enough. Since 2001 I had been overseas and had forgotten most of the lyrics.
This CD is in my library under Style:Rock, Genre:Metal. This CD provides both blistering guitar licks and soft, dramatic ballads. If you like either of the aforementioned songs, you'll probably like Fade and Warm Safe Place. If you like "For You", you'll like most of the other tunes on this CD like, "Open Your Eyes", "Pressure", "Suffer", and "Change" This CD also includes a song by Aaron Lewis called Epiphany. The CD that I have comes up in Windows Media Player with 14 tracks, the last of which says, "Outside [Live]" but it is actually an acoustic version of "It's Been A While". I suppose that this was the intended "Austrailia Bonus Track".

Since I have listen to this Cd, but I can remeber the first one I got. It was Edited, I hate edited. If I didn't want to here that kind of lanuage I wouldn't listen to Metal. Or I would listen to Christian Metal. This was the one that got me hooked on Staind....that and they put on a great Concert.

Anger, Passion, Beauty and Tenderness
Created: 14/12/06
Staind is great for those days when you're at discord with life, the music drives hard with passionate to brutal force. It is all about emotion, and feeling, from deep down in the guts of rage, to love that's never quite satisfied. Even in the boyishly appealing tender moments, as in "Epiphany" or "Outside," never a happy song to the lot, but it's honest in dissecting the ugliness or despair that lies beneath our expectations and defeats. Some of the songs are best described as 'beautiful,' in the way the sentiments are expressed by lyric and music, "Epiphany" is that, and "Outside" as well. Aaron Lewis defines the art of passion and feeling in his work, can feel the sweat, the bleeding, the infernal rage. And of course, we love his gift because our hearts have all been crushed in the "pit and pendulum" pressures, swinging between elation and suffering, and know exactly what he means. Crash and Burn best describes the style of his music at its hardest.

Wonderful CD, Wonderful Band!
Created: 09/06/06
Staind is an amazing band that other bands have been mimicing for years. This compact disc has many amazing songs on it, some played on the radio and a few less popular songs that you can fall in love with like new. I decided to buy this cd because it has my husbands favorite song and we had recently seen Staind in concert so it made a perfect birthday gift! I dont have any complaints about this cd and I cant wait to complete my entire staind library.

for anyone who likes any kind of rock, staind is a great band to listen to. "break the cycle" is a prime example of their talent. there are multiple hits on this album, you might be surprised at how many you know already. their biggest hit "it's been awhile" is also on this album.
