Thank you, Steve. I knew I read that somewhere, but I couldn't think of where. If Michael Tremonti himself has said that Stapp wrote 90% of the lyrics on MOP....then why do so many people still dispute that? After all, Michael is a trusted source...so why not trust what he has said?

I do agree with IAmFilthy: the lyrics on ODR, as far as I'm concerned, are subpar when compared to the first two Creed albums. The lyrics are a bit too generic and simplistic for my liking. Not everyone will agree with this, and I understand that, but this is the way that I, as an AB fan, feel about it. I really hope that Myles writes most of the lyrics on the next album because, based on ODR, Mark's lyrics do nothing for me. And this coming from a huge Mark fan. I think he's a great guitarist, but an average lyricist. Which is why I'll always prefer Myles or Scott Stapp's lyrics above Mark's. Just personal preference, I guess.
