Details Emerge About New Staind Album

Staind guitarist Mike Mushok recently opened up about the upcoming new album titled "Seven". As reported by NME.com, Mushok claimed the album marks something of a return to the harder-edged style of Staind's early albums.

"It's a modern-sounding version of a heavy Staind record," said Mushok. "It's completely different than the last record [2008's The Illusion of Progress]. It's more of a throwback to where we came from. [But] I don't think there's any rehashed riffs; I definitely think it's fresh."

Mushok went on to say the album, which the band began working on in late 2010, has been difficult to make. "It was a tough one," he said. "And it wasn't even the music or writing it; it's just that there were a lot of things going on, and it made for a long, drawn-out process, it seemed. But I'll tell you what – looking back, now that it's done, I'm really, really happy with it."
