Why has this album stayed at number 1 for so many weeks you ask? Because it's by far the best album to come out of 2001. Creed created a great album in Human Clay and with Weathered, they've mastered the formula that got them to the top. From start to finish, this album has excellent song. Cuts like "Bullets" and "Signs" rock incredibly hard and are filled with so much emotion. The more radio friendly tracks like "One Last Breath" and "My Sacrifice" are done well, showing that not everything meant for mainstream consumption has to be awful. The 8 plus minute "Who's Got my Back" stimulates lots of interest with a 70s style rock track that doesn't really get going until 4 minutes into the song. An appropriately acoustic finish "Lullaby", leaves you calm at the end of the cd after all the great hard rock that comes before it. Creed is on top of their game and even if certain other reviewers can't see that, this is as great as mainstream rock will get.
