wheatland's graduation song.......2000-11-09

At my old school, all my friends were seniors and at graduation they played the song "Arms Wide Open" and it was one of the saddest days of my life. Now everytime i hear that song it makes me cry because of all the sentimetal value it had on me. When i listen to songs i licten yo more then the beat i listen to the words and the heart and soal of the song. And i know that that song is about a kid being dorn but i has the same effect. I love creed and i think they are the best band i have heard of in a while.

Creed's Sophmore Album is No Flop.......2000-11-06

For all those die-hard Creed fans, Human Clay was no dissapointment. And for those new to Creed's Christian Alternative sound, they got what they paid for. With songs like "Higher" and "With Arms Wide Open", Creed has made a powerful come back. This new CD single of 3 different versions of "With Arms Wide Open" gives the Creed lover a taste of 3 different ways to listen to the same song. The acoustic version offers a tear-jerking melody that expresses not only Scott Strapp's love for music, but for the love of his son. Any Creed fan should definetly add this to their collection.

~CREED~ ROCKS!.......2000-11-04

When I heard they made 3 different versions of this wondderful song, I knew I had to have it! It's the BEST song on the album. Scott Stapp has a voice that makes you drift off into your own little world! The whole band is so AWESOME! They really ARE FANTASTIC! Better yet Scott is donating proceeds from the sale of this 3 version song to help families and parents, how wonderful is that!? This song is indeed one that touches you, especially if you are a parent. The lyrics are so deep, as well as the other lyrics/songs on their album. I can't say enough about this song and their album...JUST GET IT! You wont regret it!

Creed is the Best!.......2000-10-26

Ever since I saw the first Creed CD on the shelf and I picked it up I've loved their music. You should really listen to the lyrics not just the music. "Higher" is a powerful song. I love all their music. Especially "higher" and " Arms wide open". Enjoy!

Arms Wide Open-CD Single.......2000-10-26

Creed is the best.......2001-05-03

With Arms Wide Open is an incredable song, and this CD just enhances it... 4 times, that is. Scott Stapp is an amazing vocalist and lyricist and Mark Tremonti is probably the best modern day guitarist in rock music. This CD would be an excellent addition to anyone's CD collection. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome. Totally worth it........2003-02-16

I am one of the biggest Creed fanatics around. I bought this cd mainly because of the acoustics and I must say they are awesome. I don't see why anyone would not like them. I do not think these are the same exact vocals as the regular versions. These are newly recorded acoustics. Creed wouldn't be that cheap. This cd is a must have for any Creed fan. But if you're new to Creed, please buy Weathered, Human Clay, or My Own Prison first.

A disappointment...way below Creed standards.......2003-01-09

First off, I am a HUGE Creed fan. I own all three of their albums and listen to them on a daily basis. That's why when I found out that there were acoustic versions of both "Don't Stop Dancing" and "With Arms Wide Open", I jumped at the chance to get it. I was very disappointed. The acoustic verson of "D.S.D" is decent, but somehow empty. It features Tremonti "raking" away on a guitar and Stapp's vocals, but it's missing any kind of "feel" or "passion" to it...not to mention the fact that there is something wrong with the sound quality of Amie Stapp's vocals...she sounds very different and almost "removed" from the recording. But the biggest let down, I am sad to say, was the "acoustic" version of "W.A.W.O." It starts off promising enough, but then it becomes no different than the radio version, with Tremonti "raking" on an acoustic guitar in the background. In fact, it's safe to say he probably just played over the original recording. To make a long story short, if you have Creed's albums, be satisfied with those and go ahead and pass this one up.

I love Creed, but they are getting cheap!.......2003-01-03

I bought this CD for two reasons:
1. Enhance my Creed collection
2. Get cool never-before-released acoustic versions.

And they did both of these things, but not so well. For these reasons:
- The CD cover is made of cheap cardboard. Not even a jewel case.
- The acoustic versions are just the normal versions with re-done acoustic guitar tracks. Voice and drums the same. These are NOT real acoustic versions.

It is good, however, that it benefits the With Arms Wide Open Foundation.

Get It For The Acoustics.......2002-10-24

OK, first the negative:

For anyone planning on purchasing this for the 'Don't Stop Dancing' video, DON'T. Once again, Wind-Up screws up a U.S. release of a Creed single by including a sub-par format quality video of the title track. With the 'With Arms Wide Open' single released 2 years ago, it was a [very bad] Quicktime format video for WAWO; with this, it's even worse ....

Brace yourself ......

It's REAL MEDIA!! HOW COULD THEY BE SO FRIGGIN' STUPID!?!?!?! Even a blind man can see how horrible ANYTHING encoded to RealMedia is, but of course Wind-Up goes with the most useless and worst possible quality format.

OK, on to the positive:

The acoustic version of 'Don't Stop Dancing' is amazing. Creed never ceases to amaze me with their acousitcs. I'm looking forward to a future all-acoustic release from these guys. My only negative about the music is that Amie Stapp's (lead singer Scott's little sister) voice seemed to be turned down a few notches in the acoustic DSD. Not a huge problem, but still a tad bothersome, especially since she has such a beautiful voice.

All in all, I'd recommend this to anyone, as long as you're not getting it for the video.
