Segue Myles Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Creed- My Own Prison Creed- Human Clay Creed- Weathered Creed- Full Circle There is something about Creed, call it nostalgia, that makes me feel they have something that Alter Bridge lack. The two bands are very different in spite the obvious comparisons. Atm, I'm really loving Creed. Scott Tapp has gone from being a vocalist I didn't rate at all to one of my favourites. Yeah I think they are great. Tremonti is amazing. Creed, Alter Bridge, his own band Tremonti and his Sinatra covers project, everything he's associated with is gold. Full Circle is the weakest Creed album for me. But I like it a lot more than my least favourite Alter Bridge album, Walk The Sky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Creed My Own Prison (7/10) Human Clay (10/10) My Own Prison is a fine debut but i feel it's the definition of front loaded. Every great track is in the first half. 2nd half is good but not great. HC Steps everything up to the next level. I love this record.

MOP is like a cross between AIC and PJ with a late nineties alt metal vibe. Nothing too original, but easy to see why it caught on. Human Clay is one of those albums that I think got so huge, people stopped taking it seriously. If you take the hype and the media saturation out of equation, it's actually a phenomenal album, especially for such a mainstream phenomenon. Weathered is straight up excellence, very experimental and bold. Full Circle sounds tired, but it's not hard to understand why. I maintain like many Alter Bridge fans that One Day Remains is very Creed like. That's largely down to the fact Myles had no influence on the writing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Creed-Weathered (10/10) While i think from a technical standpoint Human Clay is their best.....Weatherd is my fav. It's more ballad heavy and goes purposly for a grand epic feel. i think that's why it works. And songs like Bullets Who's Got my Back (As good as anything AB did IMO) One Last Breath My Scriface (did nothing to stop the "Creed is sappy pap 'crowd, lol) Stand here With Me Weathered They're all just Classics in my book. Then.......poof......goodbye Massive band, lol outta nowhere. Mick Edited July 19, 2023 by bluefox4000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then.......poof......goodbye Massive band, lol outta nowhere. Mick I wouldn't say it was out of nowhere. It had been known before the break up that Scott was battling an alcohol and drug addiction. A problem that got so bad fans actually sued him for a horrible performance he had at one show. The band went quiet for some time before the break up. Considering how massive they were people knew something was up. So the announcement that they broke up didn't come as a surprise to many. Weathered is excellent and definitely the band's best album. I got to see them live on that tour and it was a great show. One of the few times I got to see a huge band live at the height of their popularity. Where the crowd knew the words to every single song they did not just the hits. Here's the setlist from that show https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/creed/2002/darien-lake-performing-arts-center-darien-center-ny-73dd0a15.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I think if I did a top five Creed/AB combined, HC and Weathered would be in it alongside (for me) Fortress, ABIII and either Pawns or Last Hero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Tanukichan - Gizmo (checking in with this semi recent release. I like it, don’t love it) Toro Y Moi - that live video on YouTube they shot in the middle of the desert with no audience (Viiiiiiiibbbbbbeeeeeesssss) The Damned - Damned Damned Damned (fun!) Dinosaur Jr. - You’re Living All Over Me (the perfect mix of fun and vibes) Foo Fighters - But Here We Are (the production works in its own favor for me, and the compositions are too good to complain. Side one is fantastic but side two is transcendent, especially The Teacher and Rest… especially Rest) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it was John Mellencamp, The Doobie Brothers and Pat Benatar. In the recent past, I listened to Rod Stewart, Jackson Browne, Joe Jackson, and Peter Gabriel. They are a great feature of Apple Music. Footnote: Peter Gabriel does nothing for me. Not even "So"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Chris Rea-Deltics (9/10) Segue turned me on to Rea but it was his mid period. then i found for me his early period's where it's at. It's like Boz Scaggs, Elvis Costello and Tom Waits had a baby. Sometimes it just sounds like a weird alt. Timeline where Tom Was a pop song writer and i dig it, lol Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
