The multiplatinum kings of MOR nu metal have gotten a bit more aggressive and intense--to fine effect--on some of Weathered's 11 stellar, radio-friendly tracks. For those who prefer the soft side of singer/stud Scott Stapp and his cohorts, there are the melodic and soaring "Hide" and "Don't Stop Dancing." But more interesting is "Bullets," which finds Stapp raging before a surprisingly heavy and intense musical backdrop. Other highlights include the Seattle-sound throwback "Freedom Fighter," the Zeppelinesque "Who's Got My Back," and the disc's first single, "My Sacrifice." The effects-laden, passionate "Signs" contrasts nicely with the laid-back, world-weary title track and "Lullaby." Ultimately, Weathered gently expands the seemingly fail-proof formula. --Katherine Turman

Great.......2006-11-14

This is just a great cd. Love them or hate them, Creed made a stellar cd here. The absolutely perfect "Stand here with me", "My Sacrifice", "Weathered", "Signs", "Freedom Fighter" are all as infectious as they are quality! Just great stuff. Sure, there are a couple slow points, but that is to be expected.
This is just an excellently (if not overly) produced and executed cd. Thats all there is too it.

Weathered Creed.......2006-07-01

When the rock group Creed stepped out of the studio for the third time, there were doubts about the band's third album. But once the record's first single: "My Sacrafice" hit the airwaves, it was clear that WEATHERED was going to be an amazing piece of work. And it was, ALL of the record's tracks stand out in their sound, lyrics, and originality. This time around, Stapp delved further into his Native American herritage for new sounds. This is quite apparent for the track "Who's Got My Back?". Amie Stapp along with the Tallahassee Boys' Choir joins her husband in peforming beautiful vocals for the song "Don't Stop Dancing". Stapp also brings forth his political lyrics again as he had for Creed's debut record. These words took on new meaning after the tragedy that struck our country just two months before WEATHERED's release. These words are really "in your ears" for the tracks "Freedom Fighter" and "Signs". Drummer Scott Phillips takes on a bigger role as well, for he produces more melodies and harmonies for he also performs keyboards. Mark Tremonti also performs bass as well as the guitar for this album, giving even more musical sounds than the group had ever produced. He backs off the distortion and dismisses it entirely for the beautiful accoustic performance on the track "Lullaby". When distortion is used, Tremonti balances it out with a clean guitar tone and this is apparent for most of the tracks. WEATHERED is Creed's most musical and best work. This record is a must have.

Creed releases their best effort.......2006-06-13

By the time 2001 had come around, Creed had established themselves as one of the top Rock bands in the world. Their 1997 debut album, "My Own Prison" showed the great potential that this band had. "My Own Prison" was an album with a very raw sound that was dominated by guitars. While "My Own Prison" demonstrated a very strong Rock sound, one problem was that the guitars of Mark Tremonti often overpowered Scott Stapp's vocals. As a result, we never really saw the full potential of Stapp's vocals on "My Own Prison". A unique thing about "My Own Prison" is that the band demonstrated a strong Christian influence. On the band's sophomore effort - "Human Clay" they moved away from the Christian influence and polished up their sound. However despite the fact that the Christian influence wasn't nearly as prevalent, there still was high quality in the music. Most importantly, Stapp's vocals and Tremonti's guitars stuck an equilibrium allowing each of them to showcase their amazing talents. As a result I had "Human Clay" as the Best Album of the year 2000. Now Creed faced the difficult task of following up an amazing album. This follow-up was 2001's "Weathered" - and despite being criticized by many, this album surpasses "Human Clay" in terms of quality. The only thing that prevents this from being the Best Album of 2001 is that U2 released their own masterpiece - "All That You Can't Leave Behind" (my pick for Best Album of 2001).

There are two major changes that happen on this album. First up, Bassist Brian Marshall is no longer with the band - leaving Creed as a trio (Stapp, Tremonti, and Scott Phillips). Bass duties are now picked up flawlessly by Mark Tremonti. The second big change is that Creed mixes things up more on this album. Creed isn't afraid to improvise and experiment on this effort. They move away from the classic guitar formula they used on the first two albums and even make significant use of keyboards (in which the duties are picked up by Drummer Scott Phillips).

Here is a review of each of the tracks:

"Bullets": I admit, when I first heard this track - it did not impress me. It still doesn't impress me. I found this song to be a raw, guitar sound that seemed a cross between heavy metal and punk rock. I think this is the weakest track of the album. However, I still have to give Creed some credit for trying something different. Overall, this song is going to showcase Tremonti.

"Freedom Fighter": This song still also has a raw, hard-rocking grunge-like sound that Creed fans are accustomed to. This song gives Stapp more of a chance to showcase his vocals. This song didn't impress me much each.

"Who's Got My Back?": After a slow start to the album, it is on the third track where things really pick up. Creed assembles a 8 minute 25 second masterpiece. One of the highlights of the song is the use of a Cherokee Indian Prayer at the beginning and the end. The use of keyboards is very prevalent in this song. While this isn't necessarily a song about the American Indian, the lyrics can relate to the plight they went through ("There's Still Time; All that has been devastated; Can be recreated"). This song is a masterpiece and really demonstrates why Creed became on of the elite bands in music.

"Signs": This song goes back more toward Creed's trademark grunge-like sound. Here is another example where Tremonti's guitars and Stapp's vocals are in great balance. Many criticized this song, but I really enjoyed. Listen to how Stapp digs deep on the chorus by singing "Come with me...". This song discusses "Signs" that effect society today - age, spirituality, sex, and racism.

"One Last Breath": Creed "tones it down" for this song. Stapp's vocals are incredible and contain real emotion as Stapp reflects on the things that happened to him in his life as he thinks his life is over (as he knows it). This song contains some spirtitual references to God - particulary "Somewhere in His grace; I cried out heaven save me". There even is almost an orchestral quality to the melody at parts of this song. Perhaps the only thing this song is guilty of is that this song was overplayed too much on the radio.

"My Sacrifice": "One Last Breath" has gentle segue into this song. Like "One Last Breath", this song was overplayed a lot on conventional radio. However, musically this is one of the better tracks on this collection. Stapp's vocals shine on this track as well. The orchestral quality to the music also exists on this track. Phillips has some great drumming.

"Stand Here With Me": Another solid song. Tremonti delivers some of the best guitar riffs on any Creed album. Unlike in the early days, Tremonti delivers the guitar work without sacrificing Stapp's vocals.

"Weathered": This song deals with how the hardships of life eventually wears down someone. This is a song in which Stapp delivers another amazing performance - making this song worthy of a title track. Creed mixes up the tempo on this song - and it works.

"Hide": Creed continues to tone it down. This song demonstrates a typical post-grunge radio-friendly sound, but once again Stapp delivers a flawless performance.

"Don't Stop Dancing": This song also demonstrates the post-grunge radio-friendly sound. Not a bad song. Unfortunately it demonstrates much of the cookie-cutter sound that was soon to infiltrate conventional radio. This features a guest vocal from Stapp's sister Amy.

"Lullaby": While the album starts with a very raw and hard sound - things are "weathered" down by the end to this very soft and gentle sound. As indicated by the title, this is a lullaby.

Creed demonstrated a lot on this collection. It is too bad that this would be their last album before splitting. This collection is highly recommended.

Weathered is a classic album .......2006-05-30

Creed are one of the best bands to come out of America in the last ten years there was just something about the four of them they all just clicked and never made one bad song that's what made them so great which brings me to this album.

So how the hell do you follow up on an album that just sold 11 million copies and is creeds best album human clay, well you write tracks like bullets, my sacrifice, who's got my back and freedom fighter this album is amazing I really cant find the words to explain how great this band was this cd weathered is has strong has human clay the lyrics are amazing the guitar riffs are great from start to finish there is not one bad song on this album which is very rare to find these days from bands.
Its been five years since this album was released and still sounds fresh to me I wish I had heard of creed earlier than I did but they were never that big in England but I caught My Sacrifice on a music channel and I just thought that song is amazing and I was hooked on creed from that moment and got all there albums thery are really an inspiring band and I will always love creed until the day I die so id like to thank the great Mark Tremonti, Scoot Stapp, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall For giving us great music to listen to Thank You.

Weathered is one last breath...as it ends up Creeds Swan Song........2006-02-10

Creed's third studio release "Weathered" marked two landmarks for the band: It all but solidified their status as a band that would consistently release great rock albums, and later be hailed with the likes of Led Zeppelin and Van Halen. It also marked the end of the band, for it was thier last studio release. Creed's magic would be cut short before it could ever be fully realized...but at the same time, perhaps we got the core of the band's potential. With that, the album "Weathered" was a nice way to go out!

With Weathered me move into a sharper metal sound that isn't to harsh but does not cuddle the listener. The first three tracks take us into a whole new world with "Bullets" "Freedom Fighter" and the haunting, moody track that explodes with emotion in the chorus "Who's got my back?". It wouldn't be Creed without a little power ballad, so "My Sacrifice" has become a radio friendly staple that's a fun listen. "Don't Stop Dancing" is an excellent soft tune that gives the album some balance. 11 Tracks in all, it's never enough, it's what we got, so we'll cherish these final songs from what was one of the greatest bands to emerge from the 90's.

Part of history, but I hate this band........2006-08-03

Before the "unhelpful" ratings rain, I will say for the record that the first two TSOL albums are "decent" if anything but landmark punk albums. They have a place in the OC "history" of punk.

I also hate this band.

They are grossly overrated... a band that was in the right place at the right time, knew the right people, did the right things with the right people and got a slot in the "golden age" of Cali punk... all before devolving into a masscara mess of a hairspray band that makes Poison look tough. Was it ever REALLY about the music Jack?

Oh yeah, kids: Jack is a deceptive shell of a person. I've seen him play to small turnouts at clubs that insulted his ego and let's just say he doesn't care as much as you'd want to believe. He says the right thing in the zines and hangs out with the cool punk bands, but this guy is a LOSER. Just an ex-junkie looking for a quote in any publication that will print his name.

Download the "classic" TSOL songs. Avoid "the Joykiller" albums like the plague. Appearances are deceiving.

Buy a D.I. album instead.

Old school classic tunes.......2004-09-14

If you dig old school this is a must have. This was made when punk wasn't cool.

The Gods of Goth Punk's Best!.......2003-06-17

When it comes to True Sounds of Liberty (TSOL), their unbeatable in the scene of Gothic punk. Influencing bands like Offspring, AFI, and Adolescents, they gave a new spin on punk rock that would last a long time. Mixing creepy riffs and lyrics with fast and angry vocals and gutairs, these guys sounded like a late Black Sabbath doing a duet with The Clash.

Nitro has re-released two of their classic EPs: their undeniably excellant self-titled debut, and the incredible Weathered Statues EP, which were originally released on Posh Boy, a label that also included the surf punk band Agent Orange, who were equals in the influental circle with TSOL!

These guys are definatly for any punk taste. Mixing punk with hints of pop, surf, goth, and even at times pychedelica, these guys broke the many punk boundrys that no one dared break before. When people say that Sex Pistols and the early punk bands influenced everyone in punk, look into TSOL. You'll understand how they can be included on a list with Descendents, Minor Threat and even Black Flag, of underrated bands that intensly influenced punk as it is today (washed-up trash). Despite what some call "punk" today, it doesn't compare to the intensity and unforgiven ruthlessness of these two classic EPs. Deffinatly not for fans of Blink 182 or Good Charollote (the washed-up of the washed-up trash) and not for new fans to punk, this definatly one of the greatest punk albums known to man and should be heard by any true punk fan.

TEST YOUR LIMITS!!!

Awesome!.......2001-11-30

It's hard to decide which TSOL album is the best. They all seem to be equally as great, even though they are all very different from each other. This, their debut ep together with the great Weathered Statues ep, showcases their early hardcore efforts together with their softer, more melodic later stage. The first part is among the best hardcore you will ever hear, especially the great tracks Superficial Love and Abolish Government. You may not enjoy the second part quite as much the first time you hear it, but just as the first part tends to get old the more you listen to it, the second part just gets better and better. Eventually you will enjoy the second part much more than the first, especially what is arguably TSOL's best song, Thoughts of Yesterday. It is advisable to listen to their great debut album Dance With Me in between the two eps, just to get a better taste of their musical growth. Then listen to their last studio album Beneath the Shadows to hear their new wave masterpiece. You should purchase this cd, Dance With Me, Beneath the Shadows, the Suburbia soundtrack, which contains two unbeleivably awesome live tracks, one of which, Darker My Love, can't be found anywhere else, and Live '91, a great reunion show, and your great TSOL collection will be complete. Ignore the new album Disappear, it seems even TSOL cannot escape the evil force that makes it impossible for there to be any good punk rock material these days.

Nice to see it re-issued........2000-06-14

This re-issue of both out of print "Black EP", and "Weathered Statues EP", is a real treat! When you listen to the Weathered Statues side, you can really hear how much they strayed away from the "Black EP" sound. The "Black EP" contains five tracks, but the first six tracks of this album you get the pure old school punk sound. Yet the last three tracks ( the Weathered Statues tracks ) are an evolved, darker sound, and that sound is called *Deathrock*. TSOL stepped away from their political, hardcore punk material and started writing much darker music and gloomy poetic lyrics, thus DEATHROCK.

If you find yourself mostly listening to the tracks Weathered Statues, Thoughts of Yesterday, and Word Is, you should really pick up Dance With Me ( Their deathrock debut album ), and Beneath The Shadows ( Really artsy, with the use of synths!).

TSOL remain one of my favorite bands of the Deathrock genre, infact they are one of my favorite bands of all time.
