reception
The band's debut was largely positively received in the media. In Rock Hard magazine, for example, 9 out of 10 points were awarded.
- “The Florida Quartet is not about Bible fanatics inspired by mission, but rather more spiritually inclined contemporaries. First and foremost, front man Scott Stapp with his lyrical outpourings full of desperation, pain, conflict and melancholy, but also fervor, pathos, faith and hope. That Scott's haunted, melancholy singing reminds one time and again of Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots) and Layne Staley (Alice In Chains) and also in terms of songwriting parallels to the aforementioned grunge greats People like to forgive such a young band that creates nostalgic music that gets under your skin. And because CREED brings back memories of Pearl Jam's perhaps best track Black , the pleasing rocker One and the chains-like grooving 'Ode with songs like the deeply sad ballad What's This Life For , the no less oppressive first hit single My Own Prison 'have also written some superb hit songs, the boys' debut even deserves it, in the same breath as such fabulous originals as Pearl Jams Ten , the Pilots' core debut, Dirt by Alice In Chains and the Temple Of The Dog disc to become."
My Own Prison has also been awarded 6 times platinum by the RIAA and is one of the 100 best-selling albums in the US .
By the time the band broke up, the album had sold over six million copies, although it initially received little media attention, as Creed was a relatively unknown band at the time.
