My Sacrifice (2 Track) Reviews:
A great song, with a point... 
2003-06-08 - The first single from Creed's hit album, "Weathered", is My Sacrifice. The song itself is fantastic, with a powerful sound and great vocals.
But the part of this song that stands is the story it tells. It talks of two friends meeting after years of not seeing each other, and when listened to closely makes you think quite deeply.
A winner both in airplay and in getting the message across! For fans of Creed this is a must have single, and includes the video clip to the song, which only adds to the stort being expressed in the music.
Good Song, Good Single Edition.
2002-07-07 - "My Sacrifice" was the first single released from Creed's latest and third album, "Weathered," but of course you all know that considering whatever this band releases is routinely heard on the radio. It's an enjoyable tune, not as enrapturing or exhilarating as some of their earlier singles like "Higher" and "What If," but it is uplifting and features some symphonic electric riffs by Mark Tremonti and spirited vocals by Scott Stapp. "My Sacrifice" is a song just about anyone who just likes a nice rock song would enjoy and indeed, it proves rock music doesn't always have to be prone to violent images and gothic undertones to work. Yet, the darker song in the CD is the masterpiece here. "Riders On The Storm" is one of the great Doors covers, and there are plenty. It was first featured on The Doors tribute album, "Stoned Immaculate" and here appears as a bonus with the single. It is an epic hybrid of the Doors spirit and Creed sound. Doors guitarist Robby Krieger plays the solos with the band and does a masterful job. It is a fitting tribute to Jim Morrison and the song in the way it crystalizes the Doors sound and what it influenced in the rock sphere. Tremonti creates a gritty wall of sound and Stapp doesn't really try to imitate Morrison, he actually sounds pretty fresh and the lyrics never grow old ("there's a killer on the road, his brain is squirming like a toad"). Overall, it's a cool CD. But I recommend you go buy "Weathered," an epic showing of metal virtuosity and "Stoned Immaculate," a great tribute to the greatest American rock band ever.
