Anybody who likes this album, or Creed for that matter, needs to jump in the wayback machinge and visit Seattle of the early 90's. It's quite appropriate that Jerry Cantrell is opening for Creed and 12 Stones this time around because without bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Grunttruck, etc. neither one of these bands, as well as Bush, would have any idea of what to sound like. To even refer to them as 'Alternative' is about as far fetched as you can get. I must be getting old, because every 'new' band coming out these days sounds exactly the same and horrible at that.
