Anger, Passion, Beauty and Tenderness

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.
