Apparently, Billboard was much friendlier reviewing Staind's new single than most of the fans here on the board! ::

There's no need to ask if Staind's "Believe" will be a hit—after a mere four weeks the song is already No. 9 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and the Massachusetts band's track record of airplay smashes further renders the point moot. The lead single from upcoming album "The Illusion of Progress" (due Aug. 19) is another earnest plea for acceptance and understanding whose appealing dynamic follows Staind's now-pat power balladry formula of soothing verse and crashing chorus. The group outlasted the nü metal trend because of its talent for creating intense, brooding rock, so it's not hard to "Believe" that the track's parent album is destined for the same platinum fate as its three predecessors. —Christa L.

Umm, no lol. She seems to be giving it a big thumbs up. The only thing that could possibly be miscontrued to me about her entire statement would be her saying it's 'typical' of their other power ballads. But, since she says all their other power ballads have been great (in other words), she certainly didn't MEAN that negatively. The only way someone WOULD, is if they are those that think ANYTHING 'typical' is a negative thing, which she apparently doesn't (but, which many OTHERS do). That's how I read this one, anyway.

i'm a diehard aaron lewis and staind fan, but this new single is pretty boring. it's like right now part 2. the intro is very similar to right now and the musical and lyric change towards the end of the song sounds like right now. with that being said i'm still excited to hear the whole disc if it's anything like the band describes it to be. they say it has flavors of pink floyd and straight up blues which sounds awesome. hopefully this new single is something they needed to keep the mainstream fans happy.
