Staind released a second video a few weeks ago, using footage from a recent concert, from their 2011 self titled album.
While I wasn’t a fan of their previous single I must say that I find “Eyes Wide Open” quite alluring in an inexplicable way. Similarly to their previous, this too is an heavy-metal, screamo track but with a catchy twist that I can’t seemed to get a handle on.
Anyhow, this is going on my playlist!

Remember how I previously reported on how Staind was planning on going back to their heavy sound on their to-be released self titled album. Well this is an epitome of the sound that will be dominating their new album.
After listening to their ever beautiful single “Its Been A While” I can safely say that their original sound is too hard for me. But this song has its own beauty to it when the screaming and jamming of vocals & melodies stop, just give it a few listens.
This one is for the Metal heads!
