Review - :
The title of {$Staind}'s sophomore album refers to the misery passed on from generation to generation; specifically, singer {$Aaron Lewis}' family issues. And {^Break the Cycle} is an issues album -- {$Lewis}' therapy session for all to hear. {&"For You"} reads like a final confession from child to parent ("I am f*cked up because you are"), and on the hit single {&"It's Been Awhile,"} he sings, "I cannot blame this on my father." {$Staind} wraps up all this pain in deceivingly melodic packages, sort of like {$Nirvana}'s {&"All Apologies"} without the depth. {$Lewis} has a {$Kurt Cobain}-like ache to his voice, which makes the more affecting songs -- like the acoustic version of {&"Outside"} -- genuine (or at least appear that way). {^Cycle} is ultimately no more than 50 minutes of standard-issue desolation, but the softness of many of the tracks gives it compassion, something most of {$Staind}'s peers have no time for. [The Australian release adds one bonus track: {&"Outside."}] ~ Michael Gallucci, All Music Guide
