100% Agreed on that. I think it's one of their best songs, hands down. Probably in their top 10 for me.

The choice for me is between Lover and Burn It Down. Went with Lover, though again this could change on any particular day depending on my mood.

It's just never done anything for me, musically or lyrically.

For me it's that I simply don't agree that Brand New Start is a great song. It's an alright song with an amazing guitar solo, but if it wasn't for that guitar solo I'd almost certainly skip the song almost every time I listen to the album.

Bleed It Dry
Ghost of Days Gone By
In The Deep
Open Your Eyes
The Other Side
Brand New Start

This is another difficult one, as it could vary between all of them except for Writing on the Wall depending on my mood. Went with One Day Remains though, it's always been one of my favorites from their debut and is highly underrated.

Voted for COA, but damn it sucks to vote against Ties that Bind.

My order:
Cry Of Achilles
Ties That Bind
Slip To The Void
Show Me A Leader
One Life
Find The Real (great song, but not good as an "opener", IMO)

I may agree that none of the solos in this album are as good as OYE (still too early to tell how I feel long term), but I honestly don't really find the Open Your Eyes solo to be really all that great overall either. Probably my least favorite solo from the ODR album.

Yeah. I liked this song a lot from the start, but it may actually be taking over Forever Falling as my favorite on the album. Just a lot of really cool things going on in this song.

Thanks for the new interpretations, I'll update the original post later. I'm not entirely sure about this, but wasn't there an interview where Brian said Myles had written a song about his substance abuse problems, and at the time, he was not aware the song was about him? I do remember reading some...

Yeah is a favorite of mine.

Hmm...maybe I should check out some Periphery

Listen to Satellites by Periphery. It’s fucking amazing. Or Lune.

Noted. I will definitely do this.

On a related note, there's some talks from Mark about wanting to do a tour with AB, Tremonti, Sevendust, Projected, Slash, etc. Promoters are not behind the idea of that kind of tour since the fanbase would mainly be the same. Not really a big crossover that can attract bigger audiences like this c...

I don't think Scott would be ok with a Creed + AB tour, honestly. This is just me going off of the things Scott had to say about the "other band" in his book a few years ago. I'm sure this could have changed, but I just don't see that happening.

One thing's for sure, for however awkward this picture looks...I'm sure the actual moment was 100x more awkward.

Tear Us Apart is the most Creed-y song they've done. I keep hearing My Sacrifice in it (and not just literally in that second verse). Am I wrong? I hear "Sister" in some of the riffs, personally, but agree on the Creed-y nature of the song. I like it a lot though. Oh, yeah, I should have ...

I've been having trouble getting into Clear Horizon as well. Something about that chorus sounds all Slash and The Conspirators The chorus is what puts the song over the top for me! Though I also love the dotted 8th note delay stuff at the beginning, as well as the pre-chorus and bridge. Just a grea...

I think I'm finally ready to give grades. Heads up: I can be a little harsh - I was a Tomatometer-approved film critic for the past 7 years! Overall I quite like the album. One Life: 3.5 / 5 Wouldn't You Rather: 4 / 5 In The Deep: 3 / 5 Godspeed: 3.5 / 5 Native Son: 3.5 / 5 Take The Crown: 4 / 5 In...
