I like many of the songs off Weathered, but I do think they neededto have a little more lyrical depth to them. My first impression was "holy crap the composition and the musical part is amazing! I just wish some more time/thought went into the lyrical content."
MOP and Human Clay had some fantastic lyrical paintings in them (ie, torn, mop, faceless man, say i, etc). Weathered just doesn't seem to measure up in that regard. It can get a bit repetitive at times.
My suggestion to Creed: spend more than a couple weeks on your next one. Weathered was great, but with a little more time/effort on the lyrics, and that album could have gone down in history.

Forked tongues in bitter mouths
