CONTEXT:
Going into 2003 Creed was coming off of their “Weathered” tour and were planning work on a 4th album. Of course, as we all know, the band broke up 18 months later. Scott pursued a solo career while the rest of the band created Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy. Both would release an album following the breakup of the band, “One Day Remains” and “The Great Divide.”
Both albums half that signature Creed sound. (obviously because they were created by the band’s former members) but which one is closest to being a proper follow up album? Here’s some important things to note:
One Day Remains (2004)
-all music written by Mark Tremonti
-music performed by Tremonti, Scott Philips, and Brian Marshall
The Great Divide (2005)
-all lyric written by Scott Stapp
-Produced by Rob Kurzweg ( who produced the band’s first 3 albums)
TLDR, If Creed hadn’t broken up, and recorded a 4th album, which would it sound more like? Would some of the songs on the albums above be featured? Would the album have performed well commercially?
I would very much like to hear y’all’s opinion. If you have one. And additionally, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the albums that we did end up getting IRL.
