Album Review - Staind: "Dysfunction"
The late 1990's and early 2000's were really a great time for rock music. There was a massive influx of new and innovative acts, ranging from the iconic Korn to the maniacal Slipknot & everything in between. Among these bands rose up a variety of heavy, hard-hitting groups that brought the heavy to a more mainstream audience than ever before. Staind was one of the bands at the front of the pack and their 1999 Flip/Elektra debut record, Dysfunction was their entry into the foray.
From beginning to end, Dysfunction always brings me back to a special place within myself. A dark reminder of what I once was, what I could have been, and what I will always wear on my sleeve. Dysfunction delivers a nine-track rollercoaster ride with a hidden track at 17:10 after the last song “Spleen” concludes. This album is a must have for every person who has ever felt lost, hopeless, abandoned, or just plain old angry & can appreciate some heavy riffs and dark grooves.
