My vote goes to Weathered as the best song on the album, it sounds like a My Own Prison B-side.

One Last Breath and My Sacrifice are kind of just Higher retreads but less successful.

Luckily, Creed went inactive in 2002 before breaking up in 2004 so there will be no more albums to review. Phew! What an ordeal this has been. *checks Wikipedia* oh god they got back together for another album in 2009.

lmao

Thank you for all of this. Not gonna lie, the riff in My Sacrifice isn't bad and I do appreciate all of the "HELLO MY FRIEND WE MEET AGAIN" memes so that's something positive, right? Anyway I appreciate you following through with this. Gonna go back and listen to the album tracks you say are half-decent.

Yet another example of why Cody Bellinger (who is cool, good, and my friend) should follow his destiny and return to the Chicago Cubs.

I appreciated that commercial they were in and that other people find it amusing to listen to Creed without making me listen to them.

It's unfortunate that anything resembling mainstream rock mostly music died in the early aughts, so they'll forever be one of the last rock bands to exist.

We're in a real "Children of Men" situation here.

I have thought about this a lot with the mid-2000s emo/screamo genre. I spent high school hating it, not realizing it was basically the last time for at least the next 20 years that guitar rock would ever be anything approaching mainstream. I should have appreciated it more even though I thought it sucked

Don't worry -- screamo does, in fact, suck.

A while ago I was thinking about this year's Super Bowl being in Vegas. I remember thinking, "Hey, The Killers are from Vegas, I wonder if they'll do the halftime show?" I shared this thought with some of my friends and they all laughed at me and said rock and roll is dead. I think they were right. My wife watched the Grammys this year, and (in between turns of Civ 6) I was trying to follow along with who was nominated, who was winning, and who was presenting. Not a single rock band as far as I could tell. Also get off my lawn etc etc

there's tons of new music being made with guitars and without guitars. if you need more then join RYM, pick a genre and drown in it.

I have two young kids, a wife, a job, and a few disappointing sports teams to keep up with. Who has time for new music?

I wonder if anyone else has a more underwhelming slate of teams to root for at the moment?
My list is currently:
Cubs
UK (CFB, MCBB)
Kings (NBA)
Titans (NFL)

"Bullets" is the best riff Mark Tremonti ever wrote and it's solely because it's just that one note for like two minutes, but it sounds heavy as gently caress. The entire rest of that album is fully unsalvageable. And I say this as someone who was way, way into numetal.
