Aaron Lewis-Lousy Vocalist Extraordinaire

The other day, My wife and I were driving around checking out houses. We had the radio on because I forgot to bring a CD. The local independent radio station was playing 3 songs in a row by certain artists, and at one point they played Staind. I never really cared too much to give any thoughts on these jabronis, but when I started listening to the lyrics and the overall vocals on this group, I just started to cringe. All three songs they tortured me with were so mind numbing. They were boring and had the same sloowwww beat and chorus. No real effort on any one's part. But with a boring front man, you'd be stuck playing whatever he could muster up.  I read in a SPIN magazine one time that Aaron Lewis, the lead singer is consistently high most of his days. All of his epically long songs are about heart break and love. Some punk bands and rock bands can write a good heartbreak song (see Alkaline Trio) and nail it perfectly. Aaron Lewis sounds like he records whatever he plays after finishing off a 4 joints and a carton of smokes.

So next time you're stuck listening to the radio, change the channel when Staind comes on.
