I agree and disagree... I liked MOP the most, and I thought HC was excellent (sadly WAWO and Higher were the only singles people remember from it). As most people know, Weathered was only average imo.
I'm crushed that Creed won't be together for a long time (at least), but somewhere in the back of my head I have to say I think it's for the best. Mark/Flip can go on and fully explore different sounds and styles. Stapp can get his life on track and hopefully become a bit less Axle Rose-ish.
If Creed's appeal is strong enough, these guys will come back together and will have incredible music for us. If not, well, Creed just wouldn't have worked out if they forced themselves to stay together.
Either way, I'm really sad about what happened to Creed. I've connected with this band like no other.
