Info for 14 Shades Of Grey

What happens when an angry young man isn’t quite so angry anymore? Staind singer Aaron Lewis answers that question on this, the band’s fourth full-length album, a comparatively mellow set of tunes that builds on the more introspective elements of the multiplatinum-selling Break the Cycle. In keeping with the album’s title, Staind bypasses the red of rage and the blackness of misery for a more subdued tonal palette, which works well on songs that find Lewis wearing his heart on his sleeve, particularly the gentle “Zoe,” a tune dedicated to his infant daughter. Lewis is similarly thoughtful, though far less sanguine, on “Layne,” a dark, brooding song that looks back at the loss of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley. But it's not as though Lewis is beyond elevating the emotional fever pitch: “Yesterday” is a particularly nasty laundry list of revenge on those who have done him wrong in days gone by. Far more textured than its predecessors -- but not without its moments of pedal-to-the-metal overdrive -- 14 Shades of Grey adds some much-needed color to an increasingly monochromatic hard-rock scene.
