Take it from a huge Staind fan.I'm not saying they sold out because they have softer songs now, I'm saying they sold out because this album is pretty much exactly like Break the Cycle. Don't get me wrong, I like this album, but Staind hasn't really evolved since their last album.Take Tormented, for example. It has tons of awesome,heavy songs but the songwriting and production aren't the best. Then came Dysfunction. It had great, heavy songs, the songwriting was great and the production kicked. Then Break the Cycle. The songs were softer, but it had some of the best songwriting ever! Now with 14 shades of Grey, Staind repeated what made Break the Cycle so great, making at best a mediocre album. The only tracks that stood out for me were "Layne" a tribute to AIC singer Layne Staley. And the single "Price to Play". Download if you have the time. The only thing really cool about this is the DVD.
