Oh, really :lol:...well, I love them B). Their last album wasn't nearly as good as their debut though.

I tried to give them an honest listen (i.e. not one tainted by my opinion of Creed), and the music still came off as forced, which was one of the problems (albeit not the biggest) problem with Creed.

I was hesitant to like them at first 'cause they're descendants of Creed, but my mom's listening to their album in the kitchen forced me to hear them and eventually I admitted to myself that I loved that album ("One Day Remains"). My favorite song of theirs is 'Burn It Down'. I don't know of anyone who doesn't like that song. Same for 'In Loving Memory'--such a beautiful song.

That particular song seems bland to me, plus it doesn't help that their singer is even more Eddie Vedder-esque than Scott Stapp.

(Note: I mean no disrespect to Eddie, as he is one if not the finest frontman of the nineties, however, he is so good that so many people have tried to copy his style, although they don't do it with half the craft Eddie does)

Really? :huh: I don't hear that at all. I never liked Vedder's singing. Stapp attempting to be like Vedder I can hear, but not Kennedy. Not in the least. Which song, by the way? I mentioned two.
