They had their moments
I liked One, My Sacrifice, My Own Prison, and What’s This Life For.
Some of their songs did have a very uplifting energy rather than an aggressive one like a lot of music I listened to at the time. I hated Creed in their heyday but some
Of their stuff grew on me more after the dust settled and I cared less of what was considered pop(especially when I realized that a lot of the bands I listened to that considered themselves pop killers were in the pop scene)
One of those bands that was more successful than they probably had any business being but got shit on more than they deserved to the point of becoming underrated.
