Staind
with Shinedown, Chevelle & Halestorm
Friday, August 28, 7:00 pm
Reserved Seat Tickets: $39.50
Staind’s sixth studio album may be titled The Illusion Of Progress, but there’s no mistaking just how far the band has come since the release of their major label debut less than a decade ago.
Look no further than the array of Staind “firsts” that earmark the new release: It’s the first album where guitarist Mike Mushok solos, as well as the first where he wrote and recorded on a standard guitar, rather than his customary baritone. Despite the band’s heralded run of ten Top 10 hits at radio – including four No. 1 singles – it’s the first time that they have recorded a song that they almost feel can be classified as a pop song, and it is also the first time that frontman Aaron Lewis has taken a political stance lyrically. On that same lyrical front, Mushok is proud to point out, with a laugh, that “consciously, I don’t think Aaron says the word ‘pain’ once throughout the record!”
Make no mistake, Lewis still feels the torment and anguish that, in many ways (and often unfairly), became Staind’s trademark as they rose to prominence to become one of the biggest rock bands of the new millennium, but The Illusion Of Progress boasts a lyrical maturity and songwriting aptitude matched only by the band’s musical depth and insatiable desire to get better and better with each release. “When you finish a record, you have to feel like it’s the best job you’ve ever done and they are the best songs you’ve ever written – if you don’t feel that way, then you didn’t do your job and your job isn’t done,” says Mushok. “We think this album is a big step for us. Both lyrically and musically, it’s a little bit of a departure.”
