Editorial Review:
If Nirvana's Nevermind heralded alternative's ascendancy into the mainstream, Creed's mega-successful 1997 debut showed just how quickly--and craftily--alt.rock's musical hallmarks could be utterly co-opted by it. Fueled by vocalist Scott Stapp's Weiland-inspired growl, Creed rode the Seattle pop-suffused string of hits included here to become one of the 90's most successful rock acts--if one whose level of critical revile nearly matched its multi-million sales. This CD/DVD combo features 13 of the band's signature performances (including all eight of its number one singles), songs that often turn on a Christianity-inspired message that could be as opaque (the anthemic "Higher") as it was overt ("My Own Prison," "What's This Life For"). The accompanying DVD completes the career retrospective, anthologizing nine of the band's videos along with previously unreleased live performances of "Torn," "Higher" and "Weathered." --Jerry McCulley
Greatest Hits (w/ Bonus DVD) Reviews:
Creed's Greatest 
2009-10-15 - If you're a Creed fan, this CD is definitely for you. Not only does the contain their greatest hits, there is a DVD with videos for many of their hits. After seeing Creed in concert, this was a must-have for me. I would recommend this for anyone who likes Creed. Having the CD and the DVD for such a low price fulfills my need for Creed.
Awesome Greatest Hits Album
2009-08-16 - I thought this was a great album. I listened to this album again last night on my way to see them at Jones Beach last night. WOW do they sound incredible live as well!!! If you like Creed YOU will like the album. PERIOD!!!!
It Doesn't Matter What You Think Of Them
2009-06-21 - Regardless of your opinion of Creed, they wrote some excellent music. There was controversy about whether or not they were a Christian band. They aren't officially a Christian band, yet they have some religious elements in their music. Scott Stapp and Mark Tremonti were extremely talented as songwriters and as musicians, and it very clearly shows in this album. It's the collection of their best songs. There is not one song on this album that I don't like. They are all excellent. Even the order that they were placed in is perfect. It begins with "Torn," one of their lesser known songs. After about 6 minutes, (it really is that long) it moves into one of their most classic songs, "My Own Prison." This was the title track of their first album, and one of the best. Moving on through a few tracks, we reach "Higher," one of the singles from their second album, "Human Clay." "Higher" was an instant classic when "Human Clay" was released. Later in the album, we hear "One Last Breath," the second single from their third album, "Weathered," the title track of which closes the "Greatest Hits" CD.
The bottom line? This is one of those few albums where every single song is one you're bound to like. This is a great buy, whether it is for yourself, or a for a gift. I bought one for myself, and one for one of my best friends.
Incredible CD!
2009-03-06 - This is one incredible CD! The voice of Scott Stapp is phenomenal. For someone to come up with the lyrics that he has and put them to the hard rock music is a gift in itself. I am a rocker and not a religious person, but this CD is absolutely incredible! When I purchased this CD I was actually looking for a specific song which I thought Creed sang. Guess what, they didn't, but I listened to this CD over and over again, and have become a total Scott Stapp/Creed fan! I am now collecting all of the CD's put out by Creed. So far they are great!! I have also purchased Scott Stapp's "The Great Divide". He is fantastic on his own!!
Creed rocks.. but.... 
2009-03-02 - Censorship sucks and completely ruins what would have been a classic collection of Creed jams. Bought the digital download from Amazon and nowhere did it state that this was the `edited' version. What a shame. Nothing ruins a tune more than `missing pieces' of the lyrics. If had wanted to protect myself, I would have turned the radio on....
