Staind is the seventh studio album by American rock band Staind, released on September 13, 2011. It was released as a download, a standard CD and a limited deluxe digipak edition, which contains a DVD documenting the recording process of the album, plus two live bonus tracks (Live in Houston) for the European digipak release. It is the band's last album to be released from Atlantic Records.
The album marks the return to the band's more aggressive heavier sound that was predominant on their first two albums. The album also brings back the guitar solos of Staind's first album Tormented. Rapper Snoop Dogg appears on the remix of the song "Wannabe", which appears as a Japanese bonus track. It is the band's last studio album to feature the full original lineup, as drummer Jon Wysocki left the band three days before the album was announced. It was also the band's last album for 12 years until the release of Confessions of the Fallen in 2023.
