Creed's "Full Circle" Album - Underrated?
I like "Full Circle", its a good album. How did it do sales wise over in the US? I had it on pre-order for weeks and got it on release day. With alot of albums they take a while to grow on me, but "Full Circle" didn't, I liked it immediately.
"Weathered" by Creed is the album that got me into the band, I still class that album as one of my all time favourites, and while to me there is nothing on "Full Circle" that matches the greatness of "My Sacrifice", "Signs" or "One Last Breath" from "Weathered", there is still alot to enjoy on the album.
"Overcome" is an awesome way to start the album, I believe that was the lead single from the record unless I am mistaken? Great, heavy song with Stapp's vocals as good as ever. That man can sing. There is nothing revolutionary about "Full Circle". If you were a fan of Creed you will enjoy it, if you weren't there is nothing that will make you change your mind.
I am a big fan of "Suddenly", "On My Sleeve", "Rain"- which is a bit softer than most Creed songs and quite good to sing along to, while "Fear" is a gem hidden away mid-record. They would sit well on Creed's other releases and not look out of place.
I definitely recommend that people give this album a listen, it's far better than most other music out there at the moment. Scott Stapp still has a great voice, Mark Tremonti is a fucking awesome guitarist and there are quite a number of really good songs on "Full Circle". Just avoid "Bread Of Shame" though, that song is pretty crap.
Overall a 7.5-8/10 for me, compared to the 9.25 I would give to "Weathered".
