My Own Prison by Creed (1~Post-Grunge)

Pros: The lyrics, heavy, rocking guitar riffs
Cons: None as of yet

I got into Creed with this album, 'My Own Prison', back in 1997 with there hit single, ’My Own Prison’. This was of course their debut album. This original group of four came along from the state I'm originally from, Florida. They, along like many other ...

Pros: Raw, pure, angsty hard rock music.
Cons: A bit heavy on the message, a little too bleak at times.

It’s an album that created an overabundance of breathing room in the music industry for bands like Nickelback and Hinder. It hardened the melting pot of North American listeners and spread them into two distinct categories: those obsessed with the ...

Pros: Hard n' raw! Tremonti's masterful playing, the lyrics, and all the music!!!!!!!
Cons: Too short and the use of G**d*** on What's this Life For?

This album was my second exposure to Creed. I wasn't familiar with them until the release of their sophomore album, "Human Clay." This album is rawer and more stripped down than it's successors. It has less pop-flavored songs like "Arms Wide Open" and "My ...

Pros: 7 or 8 great rock songs, good guitar work and lyric writing
Cons: a couple of songs don't match the power of the better songs, 10 songs is short for an album, some songs can seem repetitive

It's hard to believe that it's already been three years since Florida hard rockers Creed broke through into the mainstream. Oddly enough, I now am not half the Creed fan I was only two years ago. Personally, I think they and their act have...

Pros: Good rock sound, powerful vocals, most of the lyrics.
Cons: The songs may seem to sound the same. Also “Illusion” and “Unforgiven”

General

I was hiking in the mountains with my family, straying behind a little. i was struggling to recognize the amazing song that was stuck in my head. After a while, the realization came: "What's This Life For?" by Creed. I...

Pros: Excellent guitar work by Tremonti; Monumental lyrics by Stapp
Cons: None

"My Own Prison" is Creed's first album that was released three years ago, and just recently in 2000 the RCIA certified it as 5x platinum (5 million copies sold). MOP set the bar for Creed, this is a phenomenal recording that was responsible...

Pros: Read review
Cons: Read review

Despite the rock music climate of the present and not-so-far-behind past (where it's more hip to 'rap' to metal riffs about your self-hatred than it is to sing about love and social concerns or to question the validity of organized religion), Creed...

Pros: cool rock sound, good lyrics, great messages, these guys have it all...
Cons: Umm, I don't really know any at the moment, except that some say this album has a lot of reference to Christianity and god, and it does seem somewhat true, but it sort of depends on how much you interpret it into that, it can mean various things

When a little known band from Florida called, Creed, started getting play on radio stations back a couple years ago, no one really knew who they were. But, this band seemed to grow overnight and soon began attracting slightly harder rock fans...

Pros: Meaningful lyrics, awesome instrumentation
Cons: hmmmmmm well my CD is scratched

Creed is by far my favorite band of all time. My Own Prison is their debut album and in my opinon it slightly beats out their newer Human Clay. I would recommend getting both the albums. I just like this one better. From this album came four number...

Pros: intense, keeps you listening
Cons: none

I heard one of Creed's songs and really loved it. I enjoy their sound and the intensity of their lyrics. So I had to go get the CD and they are awesome. Every song is full of energy and so intense it keeps you listening.
If you are a fan of Pearl...

Pros: meaningful lyrics, great vocals and everything else
Cons: NONE!!!!!!! ARGH!!!

The first time I listened to this album was in the wherehouse at one of the listening stations. I never even heard one mention about the band before this but once I heard the song "MY OWN PRISON" I knew I had to have this album. I listened to...

Pros: One great CD!!!!
Cons: Not enough songs!!!

Creed's debut album My Own Prison is a hit!! This is the only CD that I own that I can listen to over and over. The CD still remains in my CD player and remains a all time favorite. Creed's songs have meaning and are about experiences in life....

Pros: Great guitar playing, indepth lyrics, vocals fit the bill
Cons: can't think of any

Creed's debut album "My Own Prison" is one of the best debut albums I've ever heard by a band. It has very in depth lyrics, and the instrument playing is excellent all around. One is left to wonder why these guys still have yet to earn...

Pros: Good solid grunge
Cons: not much variety in the sound

Creed has a good sound. A post-grunge sound. A good feel. They have good potential. This album has good songs. The two signature songs are-One and What's This Life For. "One" is a popular cover song for many amateur bands. On this record the...

Pros: Some of rock's great songs are on this CD
Cons: May sound a little Holier Than Thou

I was told repeatedly by a good friend to buy this album, not to mention a few other friends, and yet I was hesitant. After I finally did buy this album, I could have kicked myself in the rear end for not listening to them. This album did not leave my...
