Staind pulled "How About You" off their fourth album, 14 Shades of Grey, as its third single in 2003, and it's steeped in the band's brooding post-grunge weight. Josh Abraham produced it for Elektra, giving the guitars a thick, glossy crunch and leaving plenty of room for the vocal to ache and accuse. Rock radio met it more than halfway: it climbed to No. 10 on both Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.
