ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Is Creed nu-metal? Probably not. But it didn't stop them from putting out what is either a post-grunge album three years too late or a buttrock album about five years too early. Yes, this album somehow came out in 1997 (a fact so improbable Bryan says it came out in the 2000s multiple times during the episode), and it somehow sold six million American copies! That despite being largely devoid of hooks and hits, Scott Stapp doing a poor man's Eddie Vedder for 60 straight minutes, and the production sounding like garbage. But hey, at least Creed were awesome dudes everyone loved! Just kidding. The Spin profile we read in this episode has to be heard to be believed. In the immortal words of Arizona Cardinals' head coach Dennis Green, "they are who we thought they were".
