Hey Mike,
 
I agree with you on "HC" being better than "W", but I would say - although it's really hard - "MOP" is still the best. They're different to me, that's why it's so hard. "MOP" is much darker, and "lasts in you" longer, this cd is few years old, but sounds very good all of the time. "HC" has this great atmosphere, this Middle-Eastern-kind-of sound,lol, some songs may sound similar, but the music is more coherent, "united":) When I put "HC" in my cd player few weeks ago it sounded so...fresh, lol. I actually started to like "W" more, there are good,solid songs out there, but I got the feeling (which may be wrong of course) like they came together, said "come on, let's jam", they wrote some good songs, but for me something is missing there...maybe I expected something more, I don't know...Basically I totally understand what you're trying to say:)

Subject: Human Clay is the true masterpiece

Just my thoughts on something interesting that popped into my head. I recently put Human Clay into my CD player after about 4 months without listening to it. This is by far the best Creed has ever done. The whole CD flows from beginning to end with perfection. The drumming is perfect...the guitar riffs are crisp....the bass can actually be heard!!!! and Scotts lyrics seem liked he had thought them over for a long time.  Further more I think that Human Clay is over all their best album because you can clearly tell that it wasn't rushed. I mean come on...don't get me wrong I enjoy Weathered to an extent...but 3 weeks!!!! I think that is throwing something together way too fast. To me Human Clay has more meaning and it seems like they really put thought and time into it. It only took them 3 weeks to write Weathered and they weren't even writing when they were on the HC tour.....I think they just rushed into things. I'm not against Weathered or Human Clay by saying this but....who gives a shit about record sales...that says nothing about an album. Sure 5 million copies of Weathered were sold in less than 2 months...but does that actually mean that 5 million people like the album?? Don't think so. Don't get me wrong I can't wait to see them in concert..and they are my favorite band...but i do miss the Human Clay days. The days when their music actually took time and sounded clear. Plus where the hell is Brian Marshal when u need him??? Thats another thing i noticed when listening to HC....the bass playing was awesome. Human Clay is a masterpiece.....just sharing my thoughts...i would appreciate some feed back good or bad remarks...but remember don;t get too offensive...i'm still a fan..and u r all entitled to ur opinions.
