There is no comparison to Nirvana or AIC those guys pioneered this type of music they're better artists. Compared to current rock (Creed post "My Own Prison", Nickelback, etc.) this album probably stands a bit above average. Well, I listened to the album, and here's my reaction. So the current 3 star rating probably isn't completely accurate. Reviews like "These guys suck cos they copy Nirvana" have no merit cos these people hear the radio songs (I'll get to that later) and make their judgement based on that. Remember people, it says "was this review helpful", not "do you agree with this review". I can read those reviews and, even though I don't agree with them, I can click the helpful bubble because that review helped me make my decision. I read most of these one star reviews, and out of the 62, there were only about 20 that, to me, represented a person who actually listened to the album and didn't like it at all. To start off, there are (so far) 234 reviews of this album, and 62 of them gave this album one star. Recommended album for just about anyone, especially fans of Staind, Nirvana, STP, Pearl Jam, etc. And to answer my question in my title, these guys are more than Creed-lite, possibly even better than the supergroup themselves. Overall very good album, much better than anything Durst could put out and they are on his label. "Said" is more uptempo with cool bass and drum lines and heavy sections that give the track a little more force. "Said" and "P*** It All Away" slow down the album, both are good, but not as good as the earlier acoustic tracks. "Never Change" and "Basement" are two heavier songs before the album becomes acoustic again to finish up. "Bring Me Down" is another good, upbeat song, with a lot of guitar, similar to Nirvana. On "She Hates Me" they take a lesson from STP and put a poppy song in the album, the lyrics are funny, though. "Out of My Head" is another of the highlights on the album. The third and fourth tracks, "Out of My Head" and "Nobody Told Me" are heavier, with good vocals and lyrics.
The next song "Drift and Die" starts acoustic but starts to hit harder towards the end, the fifth song "Blurry" is similar, these two are probably my favorites on the album.
The first song on the album is "Control", which is a good song musically and vocally, but the lyrics seem to contradict themselves. But I was totally surprised and have to give these guys credit, they have put out a very eclectic album that will appeal to just about anyone. They sounded similar to Creed or Pearl Jam on their single, both musically and vocally, that may not be a bad thing, just a lack of originality. After hearing the catchy single "Control" several times on the radio and on MTV, I decided to give these guys a chance.
