New releases by Staind and Live

I picked the new Staind and Live CD's today for those that are interested and I'm impressed by both. Staind is a little more commercial than the last CD and little less depressing (I guess his wife and daughter mellowed him out a bit). The new Live is really great. I hated their last album (V) and I picked this up hoping that this one would be better and it is. It's a lot like A Distance to Here. $$ well spent!

 

I'm hoping the new one is good. Live have been going steadily downhill since "Throwing Copper" IMO.

I see Tom Lord-Alge has mixed it...wonder if it'll be squashed?
