Yeah, really

Mushok uses a baritone Ibanez guitar tuned to like G# or something...

Why the hell even have a guitar with that low tuning if all you do are play a few crappy powerchords with it while Aaron sings his lungs out?

I mean, songs like "So Far Away" are a waste of a baritone guitar. Really. Songs like "For You" or "Open Your Eyes" or whatever, now those make good use of it...

Meh

First i thought this band was freakn great then when i herd this album i started to like it then relized that some of the songs were alike and i still have trouble naming what they are like .....hey to point out the song "fade" is like "Falling down"..**** their formulas. i'd give it a 3 out of 10! lazy bastards them

why did you bump this?

(i know, i bumped it too)

Hm, I'd be a little kinder and give it 2.75 / 5

Why? The first 7 tracks are actually all decent nu-metal numbers. Nothing you'd have on repeat, but definitely listenable, with "So Far Away", "Price to Play", "Layne" and "Zoe Jane" all being great affecting, emotional numbers.

What's wrong with the album? Everything after the first 7 tracks gets 0/5. They'd be better if they made this an EP, charged less and offered us 7 songs.

this thread should be done with (again i realize that i'm not helping). i need to bump some other cd reviews.

wow i cant stand it any more. Look staind rocks. Mike mushok is genius there not emo and i have the tormented album ...and all the others. but look i was disapointed in 14 sheyds to but it was not horrible. Cant wait to hear there new album... and why the **** did that guy say listen to senses fail rather then staind are you ****in kiding me. dude ur a dumb ***

Love the title.

I`m not going to say that 14 Shades Of Grey was a letdown to me, i liked it just as much as their other cds. Although a lot of ppl will disagree I really do think Aarons lyrics are awesome. Four of my friends have died within the last 2 years and all I have had is those Staind cds to keep me close to them. In my opinion Staind is a great band
and Aaron is really cgood at the lyrics that he makes

Not Staind's best work, but it's not half bad.

While this album isn't very good, I must say that I really like the song "Fill Me Up". It's nothing earth shattering, but I just find the chorus and main riff to be very catchy.

Album Rating: 1.5

I bought this album based on Price to Play. I listened to it once. It bored the hell out of me and I haven't so much as thought about listening to it again in almost 3 years now.

Album Rating: 3.5

So Far Away and Zoe Jane simply rocks. Saw Staind live a month ago, they rocked my socks dudes.

Album Rating: 4.0

I love this CD and staind themselves..... there best CD was deffinatley "dysfunction" though...

I thought 'Zoe Jane' and 'So Far Away' were exceptional songs. Nowhere near as good as Break The Cycle though.

Album Rating: 3.5

I must admit that this album ain't their best, the repetitive methods are shining through. Then there truly are some filler tracks, though Aarons meaningful lyrics save a lots of those ones.

Still 14 shades of Grey ain't a Dull and unimaginative album. And in the end it isn't so bleak one either, I'd prefer to describe the mood as melancholic in many ways.

So far Away & Zoe Jane are the real standoutones here 'cause of their beautiness. Price to play, how about you, Reality & Fray are also wonderful ones. And even Could it be & Blow away are way above average.

With bit cutting this album would have been great, now it's just too long & understandably boring.



And who draws borders to music? Who says there can't be more than one power ballad on the album? You really think you can compare Staind to the 80's metal bands like SAXON? plain stupidness- This Message Edited On 01.04.07

Agreed, this was a leap in to that whirlpool (read repeated circumstances) of disaster.

Album Rating: 2.5

yup, i pretty much agree with the review, the only songs i can listen to off this album are how about you, so far away and zoe jane...everything else is really bad.

I gotta agree with you that the similar song structures get old after awhile especially an album with 14 songs...

14 songs = too many songs.
