New Staind Album

Staind is coming out with a new album called The Illusion Of Progress on August 19th.  As for what you can expect the new album to sound like?  Well, singer Aaron Lewis “thinks that longtime Staind fans will be rather surprised when they hear the follow-up to 2005’s Chapter V because of “how big of a step we took in some songs.” He said some tracks, like “Pardon Me,” “Save Me” and “Rainy Day Parade,” will feature pedal-steel guitar, while one cut boasts a gospel choir. “There’s also a lot of guitar solos on the record — basically, there are a lot of things that have never really been done on a Staind record before,” he said.  You can check out the first single from the album called Believe right here.
