I'm also happy! However, I really, really hope they spend ALL 6-7 months writting material and tweaking it. Weathered was done very quickly, but I really found it lacking in the depth department compared to the others.
Also, having Bret writing/performing bass (hopefully!) will provide some better-sounding low-freq vibes. Tremonti did it all in Weathered, and, while he's an incredible guitarist, the base just was not up to par in Weathered.
I also hope Brett's run with Virgos influences Creed just a little bit. Weathered crept a little too much into the "pop" category with a few tracks. I'd like to see something with the harder edge of MOP combined with the lyrical substance of MOP and HC.
AND... MORE AND LONGER TREMONTI SOLOS!!! GOOD GREIF! SHOWCASE HIS TALENTS A LITTLE MORE! 8^)
