Low Price Full Circle

I was a HUGE Creed fanatic ever since I was in High School. My Own Prison was the best album that they made, and turned me into a complete Creed fan. Mark Tremonti was my guitar hero, and wanted to learn every song from them on the guitar. As albums passed, I liked the new music, and the direction wasn't far from their musical talent. Then the inevitable happened, and the looming break-up was ever haunting. The gang finally parted ways a number of years ago, and all of the members of the original My Own Prison circa ended up creating the Alter Bridge group. This group is fantastic. It was MUCH better than the previous Creed group, as Myles Kennedy has an incredible rock voice.

With my recent searching on the net about new music groups (and new albums from former groups), I came across the statements that Creed was getting back together with Scott Stapp. I was excited, to say the least, and decided to listen to every sound clip I could get my hands on, pre-release. Pre-release, I had my concerns, as Overcome sounded a little different than their previous endeavors. It sounded good, so I didn't think anything else about it. Rain, the second single, came out, and it was good, but very talent starved and unlike their previous ballads.

I understand that the band has come back together, with some emotional problems with Scott Stapp, and I wish him the best of luck and hope in the future. Sure, you want to sing about what is in your heart, but don't make every single song have lyrics that sound similar to the theme of "I'm different now, I've changed." That's fine in a few songs, but not most of the songs on this album.

I pull this album out for:
Overcome - Good guitar parts, OK lyrics, drums and bass sound good
Bread of Shame - Unoriginal, but still decent. Decent lyrics, and like the progression
Thousand Faces - Fairly decent lyrics, good musical direction
Rain - Completely unoriginal and probably WAY over produced, but decent musical direction

I want my money back for:
Suddenly - "So suddenly, so suddenly"... reverberate that line some more, please!
On My Sleeve - "My heart is tatooed on my sleeve"... Wow. Horrible lyrical direction.
This song actually makes me cringe whenever it comes on. Makes me want to barf.
Time - Again, lyrical direction is horrible. Shame. Song would've been good if it
weren't for the horrible lyrics.


Well, not everyone will be happy with my review, but I hate this album except for a select few songs.Get more detail about Full Circle.
