Hell yeah!!!! . . . **** yeah!!!! It's about time somebody besides me mentioned them around here. Their new album, Animosity, is great and really shows how they've grown as musicians. I love their style, the layering of instruments, tones, and rhythms. They're definitely one of the best bands around nowadays, and it's a shame they don't get more airtime on the crap-ridden radio stations.

Christoph, I couldn't agree with you more! I have all three of Sevendust albums and they have progressed more than any band and found true sound. They deserve just as much radio and air time as any other band. They are original, which I guess is why they aren't that popular. They should be headlining tours not Creed.

Yeah, Creed's stuff is basically tiddlywinks compared to the complexity and depth of Sevendust. For those of you who've never heard of them, do yourself a favor and go out and buy Animosity and Home.

Unfortunately the band that's been around the longest usually gets to headline. How long has Creed been around?

Sevendust has been around longer. Have you listened to their first album? I think it is self-titled. Check it out man. Actually they probally came out around the same time, its just because Creed is the sellouts who are on the radio.

Nope, I haven't heard their first album yet. I tried to listen to it at their site, but something's screwed up and it wouldn't download.
