The new M5 isn't bad. They did go all pop in this album, if "Moves Like Jagger" is your cup of tea, then this up your alley. Interested to hear the Raid OST soundtrack. Fort Minor need to release another album.
Certainly it'll appeal to some people. But I definitely liked their earlier stuff. Moves Like Jagger was pretty good, but I feared it was a sign of where they were moving as a band. And that's not a direction that appeals to me at all.
I just don't understand you people. The majority of this board hates on Creed, but the consensus in this thread is that Linkin Park is good. WTF Creed has quite a bit more musical talent and makes catchy, memorable, listenable rock without the need to rely on synthesizers and assorted studio distortion techniques. Additionally, Creed actually has a lead singer with a good singing voice. Linkin Park does not. You guys have horrible taste in rock music. It is indeed true that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
The posters on this board believe music is only good if no one has heard of the artists. They refuse to believe bands especially rock bands that are popular are any good.
I've thoroughly enjoyed Creed; I have many of their albums. The band that I do understand the hate though is Nickelback. It's hard to really appreciate a generic sound with repetitive lyrics and catchy sound. What I DO appreciate is music that requires you to "dig deep" and not have it memorized on one listen. Substance and quality is what makes good music and unfortunately many mainstream music lacks it.
