''Dysfunction'' is the second studio album by the American rock band Staind. It is also the group's first release on any label at all, in this case the Flip/Elektra label. "Suffocate," "Just Go," "Mudshovel," and "Home" were released as singles. The song "Mudshovel" can also be found on the band's previous album, ''Tormented'', albeit in a slightly different form; that version of the song goes under the title spelled "Mudshuvel". It would serve as Staind's breakout single, peaking at number 10 on the Mainstream Rock chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Staind ==Background, music and lyrics== Despite trying to remove Staind from opening for Limp Bizkit at a 1997 concert, due to the intense cover illustration on their 1996 album ''Tormented'', Fred Durst was impressed with their performance. After hearing their four-song demo, Durst signed Staind to Flip/Elektra to record the band's album ''Dysfunction''. However, Durst suggested Staind would become more melodic. Durst and Staind then traveled to Jacksonville, Florida to begin developing new songs, and after a meeting with Flip, Staind recorded a three-track sampler in Los Angeles, California. By February 1998, they acquired a record contract and after performing on the summer Warped Tour began recording ''Dysfunction'' in December.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Staind Tour Dates )〕 Staind frontman Aaron Lewis has stated he feels that "even ''Dysfunction'' was a huge step away from ''Tormented''." Guitarist Mike Mushok expressed frustration in how label personnel were in no way intrusive on the production of ''Dysfunction'', but after it sold over a million copies, the band would be relentlessly hassled during the production of future albums.
