June 13, 2010: Staind
















Artist: Staind
Album: Dysfunction
Year: 1999

Alternative metal bands have a tendency to write a really good major label debut and then go on a downward trend, and Staind is no exception to this. Good news is that Dysfunction is worth what would happen to the band in their later career; it's painful, angsty, heavy, all without compromise. Opener "Suffocate" starts strong and the album never relents until the hidden track "Excess Baggage". Key tracks: "Just Go", "Home", Mudshovel", "Spleen".
