their is so much potential on Staind's debut effort, and it is nice to hear aaron lewis put effort in for once.

This is fucking visceral- like undertow era tool thrown into a blender of meat and razors, and creating a horrifying and uncomforable listen- albeit a bit too much

Sort of the middle point between Tool?s Undertow and Godsmack?s debut. It?s raw, dark, and has the super heavy rQuicksand-y riffs that Tool utilized in their early work... it also has a great back and forth between the soft and raggressive aspects. I like the production a lot more than Dysfunction, and the vocal performances here are rconsiderably better, in general i think this is the band?s best work.

This album builds atmosphere like no other. Extremely dark, heavy and angry. One of the most
sinister albums I've ever heard. Staind is by far at their best here. Aaron's shrieking screams
mixed with the dirty bass groves from Johnny April and shredding from Mike here makes for a punch
your teeth down your throat, heavy experience.

The heaviest, rawest, grittiest and most underproduced album Staind has released.

Aaron Lewis, and importantly Staind, showed definite potential to be a name in mainstream rock w/ later singles in Break the Cycle. Most of their work wouldn't be in my greatest tastes. This album however is entirely different from their later work. Being in '96, this album has a sound that likely was imitated in other metal acts w/in this same decade such as Disturbed and Godsmack. Some even in the next decade such as Slipknot, Drowning Pool, and Five Finger Death Punch. This rating may be a bit biased, even over-bloated, but I believe music that spawns imitators must mean their "sound" must be doing something right that is worth imitating, and even worthy of a higher rating.
