Sorry if I'm ranting, it just makes me sick that creed can stay so absurdly popular by humping the same dead horse. They haven't really shown any artistic development or creativity since album one (which was a good disc). Virtually every great artist, from Mozart, to the Beatles, to Salvidor Dali, has shown an evolution in their work from the beginning, or at the very least some ability to play more than variations on the same theme. I suppose it's just another thrilling example of the manufactured nature of pop.
recipe for pop star:
preheat oven to 350.
combine the following in a large mixing bowl:
[generic power ballad] + [sexy lead singer with questionable character] + [mass media publicity] + [cookie-cutter lyrics about depression or love]
place on baking sheet and cook for 9-11minutes.
should produce several million records and shitloads of profit.
