If so, I'll buy the CD. It's the best way to shop because then I figure if I like three or four songs, it's worth getting the studio CD. Plus, I like that some of them have DVD stuff and videos and bonus interviews and the like.  
I also think the economy and the high prices of some of the CDs are contributing to the slumping music sales. 20 bucks is a lot for a CD that cost them maybe a tenth of that to produce...

I do this way too!!!

BTW, I forgot to tell you:

I downloaded Weathered 2 weeks before it was released in USA. My friend gave me a site where I could do that. I asked him how he got it, he just said he was in the "mafia"... not sure what he meant, I´m sure he was kidding though... He always gets these stuff...

Anyway, as I didn´t want to get in Creed´s way, I didn´t spread the word. And I bought Weathered on the day it came out here in Brazil... That was a couple weeks later than in US... It was so fun having it before the others! I remember I posted a part of OLB lyrics on the Creed official BB... but I didn´t say what it was...people went nuts... Although I wasn´t a regular poster there, I think that people didn´t give me much credit! hahahaha
