Yeah i agree Weathered was great when i bought it.. and now when i listen to it over its not all that great.. It has its strong points, but also many weak ones as well. and yes they do lack a good bass player im sick of this "filling in hired gun" bullshit. They need to get a really good perminent bass player. I mean it shouldnt be all that hard to find, hell they are creed. The band has lost their roots dont get me wrong im still a big Creed fan and all but truthfully they fit the definition of selling out..now all you people can flame me and argue with me all you want but when you break it down thats the truth. i hope the next section of material they write isnt so radio friendly
