Staind - The Illusion of Progress
Posted on August 19, 2008 at 8:00 am by admin
I thought for the longest time that these dudes were a nu-metal band. Looking into their history, they did tour with such bands, so perhaps they eventually morphed into the Creed clone they are today, and for a Creed clone they ain’t half bad.
“The Illusion of Progress” is the bands official slow/song ballad album, meaning for every acoustic ballad or clean guitar driven romp, there’s a slow jammer with, surprise! A little bit of power. Well, not a heck of a lot, it’s still a good old Creed rock clone with standard crooning stylings, races to the choruses, and songs about girlfriends and/or exs.
As a whole, it takes the place of having making the effort to make a mix CD of ballads, and the slow power songs do throw a little bit of variety in. It certainly gets the job done, though if they were an employee, it would be just enough to not get fired.
