Editorial Reviews

The multiplatinum kings of MOR nu metal have gotten a bit more aggressive and intense--to fine effect--on some of Weathered's 11 stellar, radio-friendly tracks. For those who prefer the soft side of singer/stud Scott Stapp and his cohorts, there are the melodic and soaring "Hide" and "Don't Stop Dancing." But more interesting is "Bullets," which finds Stapp raging before a surprisingly heavy and intense musical backdrop. Other highlights include the Seattle-sound throwback "Freedom Fighter," the Zeppelinesque "Who's Got My Back," and the disc's first single, "My Sacrifice." The effects-laden, passionate "Signs" contrasts nicely with the laid-back, world-weary title track and "Lullaby." Ultimately, Weathered gently expands the seemingly fail-proof formula. --Katherine Turman

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME, November 20, 2001

By A Customer

The first two songs are a bit "hard" for my taste, but the rest of the tracks are classic CREED. I LOVE THIS BAND. It's nice to find music I can have in common with my kids. The lyrics are pure poetry and the music just fills your soul. I found the song "My Sacrafice" to be a bit lighter and "bubble gummish" than the rest of the album. I love Who's Got my Back, One Last Breath, Hide, and Lullably. This is the Creed sound we have all come to love.
ENJOY

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done again Creed....., November 22, 2001

By	Craig286 (Fredericksburg, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This was a very good 3rd album released by Creed. I was just introduced to Creed's music a few months ago and i absolutely fell in love with their music.

"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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably Their Best CD, November 20, 2001

By	ohnjayjdp "ohnjayjdp" (Columbus, IN United States) - See all my reviews

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.
