Review title: A hideous trend in contemporary music continues...
Product review: Creed are the ultimate statement on the watering down of the "grunge" aesthetic that swept the world roughly 10 years back. Nirvana actually had some "cred" and were a breath of fresh air for those in the mainstream (and perhaps a different matter for those in the independent scene), but then came Pearl Jam...then Bush... then Live... then along comes Creed. And to make matters worse, now there's a whole slew of "post-Creed" bands like Nickelback and Default. Someone get me a gun!An intelligent fellow remarked that Creed are today's answer to '70s Journey. Whilst you're at it, you might as well add in the likes of Foreigner, Boston, Kansas and all that other turgid pap that ruled the airwaves back in the day. Creed and their ilk are safe, cliched, formulaic, humourless drivel that sap the life out of music as we know it. If you seriously think this is what rock'n'roll is all about, then you just ain't looking hard enough.
