Dysfunction, the second album from Springfield, Massachusetts, bruisers Staind and their first on a label, came out on April 13, 1999, through Flip and Elektra, with Terry Date producing. Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst signed them, though only after getting past his disgust at the graphic artwork on their self-released debut, Tormented; seeing the band play changed his mind.
The dark, grinding nu metal of Tormented is still in the mix, but this time Aaron Lewis sings more than he screams, pouring his own raw nerves into the lyrics while Mike Mushok's guitars grind and swell behind him, Johnny April holds down the bass and Jon Wysocki pounds away. Reviews were mixed and sales were slow at first, but the singles "Just Go", "Mudshovel" and "Home" dragged the record into the mainstream by the end of 1999, and it eventually went double platinum.
