Live is trying to clear up previous obligations. They want more artistic freedom. I believe that they owe them one more now. Creed does an every two years or more thing. They propelled the label. Their artistic freedom is not obligated to the label as strongly. >> The song "Deep Enough" to me is a sad attempt to fit into the music > scene today. > Here you have Ed trying to join in the whole "rock/rap" genre but > failing miserably. I admit that it is a miserable failure. But it does honor the spirit of getting the heck to a more liberal label. 7M3's attempt with Hold On, for their Orange Ave is a great example of not being able to downgrade to a pop market sucessfully. But they were honorable enough to give the song away for free. to > calm the spirit of those that may have become dimmed spiritually > because of it. > > The song "Overcome" is probably one of the ONLY songs on that album > that is not mediocre or just plain out horrible.

If it takes a release to meet with their approval. I suppose it is a cultural thing that I do not understand. I know newer Creed fans. They know Higher and WAWO. But not much other Creed songs. HC well outsold MOP. So it is my assumption that the bulk of the new listers are Higher and WAWO fans. > I thought that WAWO was a dull and boring > > song. But it was their claim to fame. within the pop listener crowd. > May I ask why "WAWO" is dull and boring to you? It is "la te da te da" to me. Nothing about the song excites me.
