Overview Edit

Dysfunction is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Staind. It is also their first release on any label at all, in this case the Flip/Elektra label. "Just Go," "Mudshovel," and "Home" were released as singles. The song "Mudshovel" can also be found on their previous album, Tormented, albeit in a slightly different form; although, this version of the song goes under the title of "Mudshuvel." It would serve as the band's breakout single and help Dysfunction sell over a million copies.

I saw them live at FAMILY VALUES and they were the ones who made the concert worth the $35.00 ticket. Here are my individual ratings for each of the songs:

I just listened to this cd for the first time in a long, long time. What can I say, it's alright. Too damn mopey, and it's really pretty goddamn embarassing that I really identified with this album like 4 1/2 years ago. Still, this is some pretty decent stuff, though it probably wouldn't be worth owning if it weren't for 'Mudshovel', but that song still does friggin rule. There are some very distinct limits to Nu-Metal songwriting, but that song is definitely about as good as it gets. 'Suffocate…
