  Warner Music Australia Product: 14 SHADES OF GREY
Staind's fourth studio album, 14 Shades of Grey, will feature a wide array of styles, or shades of gray, as the band didn't limit itself to one extreme or another, but rather to everything in between.
14 Shades Of Grey, features fourteen shards of sonic fury and introspective intensity, tempered by song writing well beyond of anything the band has achieved before.
The recording of 14 Shades of Grey was produced by Josh Abraham and mixed by Andy Wallace, both of whom did the same honours for BREAK THE CYCLE.

 14 Shades Of Grey | The A.V. Club
At a time when the prevailing hard-rock sounds were mostly built around Durst's hedonistic swagger or the gut-wrenching histrionics of Korn and its ilk, Staind's success proved that the moody, minor-key self-flagellation of early-'90s grunge needn't be relegated to the nostalgia circuit just yet.
The group's commercially rewarding retreat from faceless, dour metal to faceless, dour modern rock continues in earnest (in more ways than one) on 14 Shades Of Grey, a title that ought to win some sort of truth-in-advertising award.
Cliché-intensive but good-hearted, both tracks aspire to more than just riffing and moaning, but the rest of 14 Shades Of Grey blurs together in a nondescript sea of appropriately colorless bluster.

The heaviest that 14 Shades of Grey gets is in the first song "Price To Play" which curiously was the album's commercial single.
As a lot of their nu-metal counterparts were fading away in 2003 (see Limp Bizkit), Staind stepped up to the plate and hit a home run with the follow up to their extremely popular CD "Break the Cycle." "14 Shades of Grey" proved to be another commercial success for the quartet who hail from Massachusetts.
With the addition of a new daughter (and I would assume the success of "Break the Cycle"), "14 Shades of Grey" has a more happier tone to it than the darker tones of the previous albums.

 User Comments for 14 Shades Of Grey by Staind
14 shades of gray is a rare album in today's music world.
Staind's 14 Shades of Grey is one of my favourite albums.
"14 Shades of Grey" is one of the best albums of the year, and Aaron Lewis probably has one of the best voices in the record industry.

 Staind (14 Shades of Grey) mxdwn.com review by taylor whipple
Perhaps both are the case when it comes to Aaron Lewis, lead singer of Staind, a band whose legions of disenchanted, youthful audiences revel in the angst brought forth in every song.
So it comes as no real surprise that 14 Shades of Grey follows a similar song pattern of misconstrued problems involving relationships and the like.
While Staind's roots remain deeply seeded within the angst-driven rock which made their first two albums so successful, the band has showed a willingness to expand past those qualities and the results are very promising.

This limited-edition of 14 SHADES OF GREY includes a bonus DVD featuring a home-movie documentary of the band's history.
On the group's third album 14 SHADES OF GREY, singer Aaron Lewis and crew deliver a distinctly organic-sounding, mature disc that still manages to rock like a wild beast.
Featuring songs that address everything from the joyous birth of the singer's daughter ("Zoe Jane") to the tragic death of Alice In Chains vocalist Layne Staley ("Layne"), 14 SHADES OF GREY is an unquestionably adult album created by a band at once deafeningly heavy and clearly more concerned with making art than scaring parents.

The end of May brings (along with Linkin Park’s Meteora) the most anticipated release of the year, Staind’s 14 Shades of Grey.
To do this a band must expand upon their sound and touch new creative areas, whether that be harder of softer.
Blown Away, clocking in at over 6 minutes, is a monster of a track by Staind standards, and this should immediately bring a smile to your Grey Shaded face.

What I call Staind is one of the better rock bands to be around in a while, and 14 shades of gray is not an exception to the rule, but an extension of it.
'14 Shades of Grey' is the recent and latest CD from the fellas of Staind and they had big boots to fill after their 2001 release of 'Break The Cycle' and they did it.
I like their earlier effort, Dysfunction, all the way through their most recent, Chapter V. 14 Shades of Grey though, is easily the best in my opinion.

14 Shades Of Grey [PA] [Limited] by Staind
An ultimately disappointing follow up to the highly enjoyable Break the Cycle, 14 Shades glaringly shows the band's weaknesses.
I named it one of the best albums of 2001, which more than anything, goes to show how musically bankrupt that year was, outside of Tool's Lateralus, and System of a Down's Toxicity.

This has to be one of the most apt titles in rock history.
In the Oxford English Dictionary, the colour grey is described as being 'dull and nondescript', perfect for this tiresome new opus from America's enormous alterno-metal demigods.
The thing is there are really only two shades of grey here.

“I think the older you get you start to realize that more things are grey and not so much fl and white." 14 Shades Of Grey marks a maturing of the members of Staind, and a changing of the band's outlook on life, said vocalist Aaron Lewis.

 Vault Reviews - Staind "14 Shades Of Grey" (June 2003)
Which is basically even more of the same - pedestrian plod-rock with lead singer Aaron Lewis' cig-heavy growling becoming more and more grating as "14 Shades Of Grey" (never has an album been so aptly named in terms of dullness) shuffles onwards.
But fear not folks - with FUN finally coming back into fashion in the rock world as epitomised by the rise of the Darkness and the Wildhearts' triumphant comeback, brighter times may just be on the horizon for all of us.
In the meantime, let's just quietly consign "14 Shades Of Grey" to history's bargain bin and have done with it.

Evidently, American audiences were hungry for big sensitive guys with tattoos crooning ballads, since Break the Cycle and its single, "Been a While," were inescapable throughout 2001, and soon Staind had eclipsed even its mentor, Fred Durst's Limp Bizkit, in popularity, raising expectations for the group's third album, 2003's 14 Shades of Grey.

The first thing you will notice about this album compared to their previous work is that this isnt the same angst driven Aaron Lewis you have heard in the past.
Although it is hard to live up to a classic like Break the Cycle, I truly expected them to come closer than they did with this album.

 14 Shades of Grey - Staind - Song Listings
Staind broke through the nu-metal murk in 2001 with Break the Cycle because the band landed upon a rather ingenious formula -- toning down the aggression and turning up the emotion, all the while returning to the Alice in Chains-styled grunge that began the whole alt-metal mania of the '90s....
What they've delivered is a record that follows through on the neo-grunge and soul-baring, sensitive journal entries of Break the Cycle.

Aaron Lewis one-ups the competition in that he can do more than just grunt and growl; on Staind's third album, 14 Shades of Grey, his self-doubt is swathed in a croon that's every bit as expressive as Justin Timberlake's.
Staind still haven't hit upon a sound to call their own; on "Layne" they even cop Alice in Chains' brooding drone metal in a clumsy tribute to the late singer Layne Staley.
At least the title gets it right: 14 Shades of Grey couldn't be more drab.

Singer Aaron Lewis and the band Staind broke big-ass on their 2001 sophomore disc, Break The Cycle, and the slow croon/massive hit of 'Been A While'.
On 14 Shades Of Grey, the band's third disc, they are truly breaking beyond barriers that may, for some, seem a little awkward.
There may not be the big power metal chord chugs or tricks, and Lewis' lyrical bluntness will leave some on edge.

The upbeat "Yesterday" could secure them a hit while "Zoe Jane", a tribute to singer Aaron Lewis' daughter, manages to stay the right side of mawkish.
Still, with 14 tracks lasting over four minutes each, at times this album seems interminable.

 Staind: 14 Shades Of Grey (2003): Reviews
Those who connect with Staind will likely find this more consistently satisfying than Break the Cycle.
14 Shades is nominally heavier than the group's two previous albums, though the band tempers its harsher instincts to let Lewis ruminate unmolested.
'14 Shades of Grey' features no standout moments or highlights, just a formulaic, plodding, sixty plus moribund minutes that make this album about an hour too long.

In grand rock and roll tradition, Staind now have their grey album--14 Shades of Grey--just as the Beatles had the white album and Metallica the fl album.
While lumped in with the often indistinguishable nu-metal crowd, Staind stand out, thanks in part to memorable ballads, such as the pained and beautiful "It's Been a While" and "Epiphany" from the quartet's 2001 breakthrough Break the Cycle.
I recommend Chapter V more but 14 Shades of Grey is a great album which does the opposite of every other nu-metal/grunge band IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY FILLERS !!!
