Many that I've talked to (not just on this list) feel that Weathered was written more to conform to musical standards than to get a message across, like with MOP and HC. Something like the songs being written more to please the fans and to get the radio play more than just to write the song. Have you noticed this at all, as a musician? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Chaffin" To: Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 10:34 PM Subject: stale cookie > good question.......and scott, sure, I'll give ya my opinions on Creed's > musical evolutions..... > The first Album, "my own prison," was more exploration and experimentation by > the band, especially Stapp, as he found his voice.....you hear all the long > notes, like in "torn," showing off his vocal longevity more than range. > Meanwhile, Tremonti's guitars on that album were fairly simplistic, and on > songs like "unforgiven," you hear the influence bands like Metallica had on > his musical molding.....on Human Clay, you hear their individual talents > growing: Scott extends his range and his vocal melodies away from predictable > patterns, more dynamics on drums and guitar solos show off Mark's > ever-growing comfort on being the only chord instrument.....and now, on > Weathered, they're all comfortable with their sound, they have a huge > worldwide fanbase, and I see them only growing from here.....Scott has never > ceased to write about his life, his spirituality, and he always ends his > albums with a song about world peace and God (excluding the hidden track on > Human Clay). > Whew, there ya go Scott, feel free to email me anytime about music, bro! > Joe > > To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: > http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
