Question: What do you think about your latest album? I know you guys did some new things. You have a guitar solo and use a standard guitar over your customary baritone. It has a more optimistic feel in the lyrics, with songs like "Believe" and "Save Me." Would you agree with that?

Answer: For sure. I think Aaron (Lewis) gets a tough rap for the lyrics. People label us as a darker type of band. I don't think that's the case. I think overall I'm proud of the way the record came out. I think that going into a studio, after you spend time on the road, there's always a bit of nervousness. You go in with something and wonder, what will we end up with? You want to make sure it's good. It think we did a really good job this time around. We took steps, trying to improve as a band and also write some better songs.

Q: The song "All I Want" has been referenced as your first pop song. Talk a little about the track.

A: It has that pop feel. When the music starts, it has that feel to it. I don't know what it is. It was non-intentional, but it was the way it came out.

Q: On the opposite spectrum, "The Corner" almost sounds haunting. Would you say this album has more of a variety?

A: I think we definitely explored some things we haven't before. Some of it is more about our earlier influences than where we came from. I think this kind of goes back to some bluesier stuff that we may have listened to in the past and things of that nature.

It just goes to show that Staind really is broadening their horizon as a expierenced and very talented band. I like the fact that they aren't scared to try something new and just go with it! I'm sure we will like all the new sounds that they keep talking about.
