Wake Up Call and Gone Too Soon sound nothing like the other songs. I liked the album, but it felt more like a collection of songs than an actual body of work. If Stapp thinks that's still the way to go after all his albums have flopped, good for him. It's his solo career after all. But it's never to...

For the next album, it would be cool if Stapp and Yannis wrote it together as a team. No external writers for once. The Space Between the Shadows was good, but it lacked cohesion overall, and you could tell Stapp had worked with lots of different writers. I'd rather have a cohesive album with a coup...

I love Full Circle and I think it's the best Creed album, on a technical level It's always sounded to me like a bunch of tracks that were not good enough for Alter Bridge. It sounds like Mark purposefully dumbed his music down on that record, because he had forgotten how to write a proper Creed son...

Frankly, I've always thought the stuff he wrote between 2005 and 2019 project was mostly mediocre. That includes Full Circle and the couple of Creed V stuff we heard. I remember that video (from what? 10 years ago?) where he played long snippets from future songs, and none of them impressed me. He f...

Oh, you're definitely right. He sounded better in 2010. And even better during the March 2012 shows. If I had to sum things up, here's how I'd rate his voice through the years: 1997-2000 : 10/10 2001: 9/10 2009: 3/10 2010: 5/10 2012 (beginning of the tour): 7/10 2012 (latter shows): 6/10 2014: 6/10 ...

It was not just the 2009 tour. He sounded bad too in 2010, and during the second half of the 2012 shows. He finally started sounding good again in what? 2016? 2017? He's still not back to his 1997-2000 level and never will be, but at least, he sounds like his former self 90% of the time, which can't...

Here are some new acoustic performances from Stapp: https://youtu.be/KqK7AklCI4E https://youtu.be/a-n1XxSOpyE https://youtu.be/kzLHQKEU1hE https://youtu.be/4BzYz_8K88g https://youtu.be/cxdjYBLhfmk Once again singing Mark's lines! :bow https://youtu.be/Xw-dvwkDeoA https://youtu.be/gDIBx6hWIAg https:/...

Of course it is. That's his job, and that's what he does for a living. The band may give him instructions or agree with his recommendations, but in the end, he's the one turning the knobs. Ann pretty much all his albums have the same issues. But I'm beating a dead horse, here. Nothing's likely to ev...

https://youtu.be/O0CCLAB_Q2I I do like this fellow on YouTube. He just sits there and faces the camera, listens to the song, then gives his input. Very little of the fake shtick some folks employ on their channels. I recommend watching it indeed. He talks about the production issues at 12:35. "...

I think the production is excellent. I thought Elvis upped his game for Marching in Time, good to see that trend continue I saw a few comments like yours, and I genuinely hoped it was true. Sadly, it is absolutely not the case, and it sounds just as bad as anything Elvis-related post Blackbird (For...

That would be a great way to showcase their abilities as musicians.

So, there's a song about Tim Allen?

What's the rush, anyway?
Aside from some diehard fans, nobody seems to care much about his solo stuff.

And don't forget we're here to stay

I just find it laughable at this point that people can point the blame on Creed not being together on Mark. It's like completely ignoring the history of the band and what caused the breakup in the first place, twice . Hey, let's try it a third time now, I'm sure everything will be different. I get ...

Then, if that past relationship is that toxic, break up for good and don't let people believe you're gonna get together again.
That's what I don't understand.
If Mark is that ashamed of his Creed past, what's stopping him from ending Creed forever?

What do you mean? Which lies? Can you be specific, please? I know he told Mark he didn't deserve to be in a band like Creed, and in a way, I kinda agree with him. A band of this magnitude should be treasured by all its members, but anytime Mark talks about it, you can feel his distaste for it, and a...

They had a couple of bad days 10 years ago, and he's still not ready to forgive (is there's anything to forgive at all).
Just call it a career, then, and move on for good.
What's the point of pretending you're gonna come back one day if you still hate Stapp just as much as you did back in 2003?

Alter Bridge
Tremonti
Sinatra

Rinse and repeat.

Sorry, Stapp, no time for you!

PS : this thread should be renamed "Creed not coming back to your town any time soon".
