Take away the vocal style and the timing (90s), Nickelback and Creed are just solid Hard Rock bands...no different than AC/DC or Def Leppard...fact.
People are hung up on the stigma that was created for the post grunge bands. Midwest housewife rock.
"Midwest housewife rock", you mean like all the 80s Hair Bands are now? Having the airwaves full of 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Creed, Shinedown, etc is absolutely no different than when they were full of Poison, Firehouse, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, etc...it's the commercialized, mass-marketed Rock of it's time...

Glad to see Tremonti get some love here. Probably the biggest influence on my guitar playing. Again, I cant wait for this release. The new single indicates Tremonti is being allowed to showcase the guitar hero he really is. These guys not only write quality music they are amazing musicians as well.

Creed is leaps and bounds light years ahead of Nickelback if you ask me. The only similarity is there both labeled Hard Rock. Nickelback to me is pop music. Chad Kroger writes some of the worst lyrics I have ever heard.

I agree, Chad Kroeger writes juvenile 14 year old, I've never been laid lyrics!
His lyric writing is a joke!
I got to say though my wife loves them minus their teenage lyrics!

In the past i'm sure Stapp wanted the solo's toned down so he wouldn't be outshined by Tremonti. And their first album came out when solos were considered a no no.

Mark has always stated he wanted to bring the guitar solo back to Hard Rock. I like Marks quote "Kurt Cobain may have killed the guitar solo, but I'm going to try my best to bring it back." The man has always had the potential. In the past few years he is really getting to showcase what he can do.
My Own Prison had some amazing guitar work on that release. You can tell Tremonti is heavily influenced by metal. It is all over his playing.
Not a better guitarist in rock out there IMO.

oh yes, I played the crap out of those old Firehouse cassettes.....oh the memories...."Don't Treat Me Bad"!
This album is stunning to me. Its a pretty heavy album and once again Mark Tremonti proves to me why he is my biggest influence on guitar and his songwriting is amazing as well. This cd might actually grab some new fans as it doesn't have that radio friendly sound that most people thought Creed had. This album is just a guitar driven hard rock ride that doesnt let up..
Upon first listen this might be a top 3 album of the year maybe even number 1..
