Well said, Jess!

BTW, Staind is one of my favorite bands. Creed somehow balances them out
because Creed's music is more uplifting, while Staind is depressing.

Thanks Gina. That was a great point you made about Creed and Staind balancing eachother out.  The great thing about both bands is that the lyrics come from the heart.  Whatever angst or joy the songwriter feels, it comes out in the lyrics.  Creed is definitely more uplifiting, although Staind does have their moments.  Just to get off the subject a little, I was wondering if you, or any other Staind fans for that matter, have found some positive messages in Staind's music. I have, so I just wanted to know if it was just me, maybe I analyze the songs too much. But definitely the outward tone is very dark.
