I had no idea Staind had their Frist album in 1996. This is so different from their current stuff. During the time, they were influenced by Tool and Pantrea. You can tell it has the same Enegry and sound as undertow. Also, Aaron was in a dark place at the time this was made. As they made more albums, things gotten better for him. I still enjoy Tormented, this open a lot of doors for them.
I will warn you, this album talks about suicide, depression and self hate. The album is based on a man who hates his life and takes his own life. The funeral tracks are hunting and will leave chills. I still recommend this album if you love raw 90s rock/ metal.
