Staind, the '90s and early 2000s hard rock band, has announced a vinyl pressing collection of their iconic album Break The Cycle. The exciting news was revealed on Friday morning via Instagram, leaving longtime fans thrilled.
The vinyl collection features five distinct variants of the live recording, marking the first time the group has ever pressed the project to wax. The launch showcases a series of striking pressings utilizing a vibrant blue tie-dye pattern. Arriving just in time for the album's 25th anniversary, this special release serves as a milestone celebration of its legacy.
Chart and Commercial Triumph
Released on May 8, 2001 as Staind's third studio album, Break The Cycle was a massive success. The record debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart upon its release, holding the top spot for three consecutive weeks.
