"Weathered" starts out fast and gets progressively slower throughout the CD, and then lets you go with "lullaby", and the songs were very well done.

Good job again Creed. I strongly recommend this CD, go out and get it if you havn't yet!!


Probably Their Best CD   November 21, 2001

Creed's CDs have always contained very melodic, catchy hard rock songs / anthems, and Weathered is certainly no exception. However, with this CD, Creed have definately added an edge and heaviness to their music that wasn't present on their previous albums.

The 1st four songs are probably the heaviest that Creed has put on a CD, and they are so good that they alone merit a 5 star rating for this album ("Signs" and the 8 minute epic "Who's Got My Back" are my personal favorites). The middle of the album contains the expected radio-friendly hard rock that Creed does so well. I, for one, find the quality of these songs to be superior to those produced by similar bands, such as Staind and the god-awful Puddle of Mudd. Creed is able to generate a melodies and tunes in these kinds of songs that are far above their collegues.

While I thoroughly enjoyed Creed's other 2 CDs, I personally feel that Weathered is their best CD by a decent margin. Stapp's vocal and Tremonti's guitar have never been better or more decisive. Definately pick up this CD if you liked Creed's previous work or if you just like good hard rock music a la Full Devil Jacket, Nickleback, Saliva. Stay away if you are looking for rapmetal or hardcore.
5 stars for an excellent hard rock compilation.

The person before me has got it all wrong...Creed gets no props at all!
1.Bullets - The hardest song ever put out by Creed. Has a great sound and it gives a good feeling for the rest of the album. 4.6/5
2.Freedom Fighter - A great hard tune with nice guitars and kind of melodic.4.2/5
3.Who's Got My Back? - Weird but nice and hard at around 4 Min into the song...oh yeah...its 8 min long.4.3/5
4.Signs - My least favorite song but I still think its a nice one espically toward the middle-end of it. 3.8/5
5.One Last Breath - A little too soft at the beginning but all the ppl who liked With Arms Wide Open will love this songs melodic sound.4.2/5
6. My Sacrifice - The single that started this CD. Very inspirational and uplifting. 4.8/5
7.Stand Here With Me - The best song on the CD and has a great guitar riff. 4.9/5
8.Weathered - Just a little slower with a nice SouthWestern feel. 4.0/5
9.Hide - Great sounding and well thought up music. 4.5/5
10. Dont Stop Dancing - A happy song about being tough in life and keeping your head up. 4.2/5
11.Lullaby - Nice acoustic and a bedtime song. 4.3/5

This cd is an awsome cd and by far one of the most talented music theory wise that i have heard. Scott Stapps amazing lyrics are deep but yet understandable, and Mark Tremonti's guitar playing is some of the best if not the best out there.

Track 1, Bullets is a dark sounding song filled with frantic guitar riffs, and Scott's voice screaming the chorus with deep emotion.
Track 2, Freedom Fighter is a bit more upbeat than bullets, but still with Scott's screaming is one of the hard songs on the album, and it has good guitar too.
Track 3, Who's got my back? starts with an almost mesmerising intro, then moves into a melodic verse series, with choruses that include Scott very passionately singing. I have heard this is one of the band's favorites that they played in concert.
Track 4, Signs is one of the hard songs on the album, and shows Scott's vocal variety, and yet again shows off Marks amazing abilities.
Track 5, One last breath is a song with a catchy guitar riff, and deep lyrics, about midrange for the style on this cd.
Track 6, My sacrifice is a song with amazing guitar sound, incredible lyrics, and with Scott's passionate singing.
Track 7, Stand here with me is a song with the most amazing guitar sound and riffs, and even though the singing is not comparable with the amazing guitar, the lyrics are incredible as well.
Track 8, Weathered is a song with perhaps some of the deeper lyrics on the album, but not the deepest, as well as a good variety of vocals.
Track 9, Hide is great song with even deeper lyrics, in fact this track and the two after have perhaps the deepest lyrics in the cd, and aside from the great guitar riffs, Scott's singing is amazing.
Track 10, Don't stop dancing is another great lyrical and guitar song, with the same general style as hide but with different meaning and sound.
Track 11, Lullaby is perhaps my favorite song on the cd. It combines incredible gentle accoustic guitar sounds with Scott's melodic voice and extremely heartfelt lyrics, this song almost made me cry when i first heard it, and that is hard to do.
