I heard the new cd as soon as I got it in the mail (a day early) and I have to say I love it! I agree with most everyone's comments about it being ''soft'' but its still a great Staind album. Aaron sounds real good in all the tracks. Break the Cycle did get me through some rough times and Chapter V brought out some life so im sure TIOP will do the same. Give it a chance. Im sure once everyone hears a live version, thoughts will change. Good Luck!!!
