If you have heard it or if you've just heard their first single "believe" what do you think? and What are your favorite songs from the new album?

I love the new album! and I knew I would before i even heard it
Staind to me is one of those bands that no matter what they put out i end up loving because I really love Aaron's voice and how he writes from his heart and how i am able to relate to his lyrics.

I have listened to the album a couple times now. hehe and I of course love the single "believe" and then I would say my favorites songs are

This Is It
The way I am
Save Me
All I want
Pardon Me
Tangled Up In You
Raining Again
The Corner

I can listen to every song on the album but those are the songs that stand out for me for one reason or another... I really do like this album just like i like their old ones but i can see already that it is making some fans mad because its not very metal but I like that actually... I've kind of grown out of my "metal" days but i still like a little hardness to it here and there but i love all types of rock, hard, soft, old, new. So no matter how soft or hard they want to go, I will always be a fan. but i see some fans get real upset when bands go a little softer..

Does it bother you when a band goes softer then what they used to be?
