Subject: weathered in review

 

i dunno about everyone else, but im loving this album. I have listened to it all week and i just love it more and more. the biggest thing for me is taht i dont hate any songs on it. ok, well maybe Freedom Fighter, but thtas just because i cant really get into the flow of the chorus.

anyways, i think that it is a real progression for Creed. It follows the over all design that Creed has used in the past 2 albums: start heavy and end peaceful. The songs are so much more dynamic and intense. Scott's lyrics have gotten better and u can see that he is looking at more of the grand scheme of things and the songs have a much more ambigious message to them. The music supplied by Flip and Mark is amazing. Mark pulling double time on bass and guitar honetly scared me at first, but its a step above his previous playing. i think a major point of this album is Mark showing how good he really is. the arrangements are free and solid and they give the lyrics a overdrive to make thier point felt inside the listener. Flip goes over time on the drums and makes his presence known. 

as for my favs: im going with Stand With Me, Weathered, and Signs. To me, these are what Creed is, they have a heavy sound and meaning where u hear it in your ears and u feel it in your soul.

I would now like to address some alligations of Creed "selling out" or "going soft". Honestly, i think that is bullshit. I can't understand why we are bashing the band becuase they have reached a point of somewhat happiness and thier songs show that. If u are actually listening to the album, its not pop...it doesnt even come concivably close. If some feel that some songs will embrassed by people who listen to pop, i think that its more that the songs are reaching more people and thats a great thing. Are yor afraid of that or something?

If anything, with Weathered; i feel that Creed will finally get the credit they so deserve. Creed is one of the greatest rock bands in the world and everyday increases thier hold and thier stature. But, they remain to be 3 humble guys who constantly give us [the fans] credit for it. But in-conclusion,  My Own Prison and Human Clay were simply little peaks at their potential and even then, they blew people away. Weathered is a work of art by far the best Creed has done

anyone care to agree or agree to dissagree?  ( i dont mind disagreements, but if u are going to, alteast give an educated and good argument. if not, there really is no point.)

peace out and keep rockin,

Mike
