The latest work of the band disappointed some rockers, however, this will then have no understanding the development of Staind. It is understandable that a band in which its members all had to go to the 40 and have a family, they want to take a slower pace (see previous album 14 Shades Of Grey). Not for nothing tours Staind currently with "no-new-metal" bands like 3doorsdown. In Chapter V Staind keep 14Shades direction at, but also return back to your roots and leave it with Run Away, King Of All Excuses and Falling, by age Break the Cycle manner (the 3rd Studio Album) rip again right. The song arrangement on the album is not necessarily the best, because in the middle part of the album, there is a longer "rest period". Because these are probably some fans disappointed (see above). The album is very successful and recommended for anyone in the songs is something for everyone and so everyone gets their money. Guitar wise beautiful melodies are played, also tried his guitarist Mike Mushok as solo players - whether this is successful or not is up to each up to you. Singer Aaron Lewis has not evolved, but wherever this man should evolve yet? He is simply terrific. So my conclusion: even if others complain about this album, I am the proud owner of a copy and I can this piece, the most beautiful music, just a friend.
