Creed – Full Circle (CD + DVD)
DVD consists of "Making Of Full Circle" And "Behind The Scenes Tour Footage"
‘Full Circle‘ is their sixth so far, allowing them to be quite fairly removed from the realms of “the one-hit-wonder” that many of their contemporaries now inhabit and that they seem to have come back from the brink in quite some style. All the good things about the band are there – if the album’s fifth track and second single ‘Rain‘ had been released ten years ago we’d be looking at another radio-hogging monster – and a lot of the bad things are gone. The band themselves look healthy and seem to be having fun again, and even if things seem to have become more than a little self-referential – the album’s title, the fact that the opening track is called ‘Overcome‘ and that seventh track ‘Fear‘ features the refrain “leave the past behind, forget everything you know, make a change, let go”- then that can only be a good thing when you consider what they could have been like.
Yes, it can be a little same-y in places, and chances are they’re never going to be the most fashionable band on the block, but to give them their credit this is a far better album than we ever expected. Give it a listen yourself – you might just be surprised.
