    I have been listening to Staind's latest album, "Chapter V" which imo is their best yet. There's a bit of something for everyone in there, from the mellow "Everything Changes", "Schizophrenic Conversations" and "Take This" to the heavy beats of "Paper Jesus" (which gets a little too repetitive), "Falling" and the absolutely fantastic "King of All Excuses". One gets the distinct first impression that this album churns out more of the same with not much variation from their familiar style to date, but just looking at the song titles, never mind the lyrics, it is apparant how Aaron Lewis &Co. are coming full circle with this latest offering; and hey, if it ain't broken... "Falling" smacks of the earlier "Falling Down" from "14 Shades of Grey" and seems to be meant as a sequel to that track. "Take This" is a throw-back to "Take It" from their best selling second album, "Break The Cycle". Lewis' vocals are as always excellent and a little more work is put into his vocal dynamics this time around (see "Please" and "Everything Changes" for this). Overall, this album is more upbeat then their previous three releases and is well worth a look. Has anyone else heard this new album? Any comments on it?
