Weathered
Weathered is the third studio album by American rock band Creed, released on November 20, 2001. Some versions are enhanced CDs and include videos. It has been certified 6× platinum by the RIAA. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number one, selling 887,000 copies in its first week of release, and remained in the top spot for eight consecutive weeks, a record which Creed shares with The Beatles compilation album 1. The album has sold more than 6 million copies in the U.S alone. The album had four music videos created for it: "My Sacrifice" in 2001, followed by "Bullets," "One Last Breath," and "Don't Stop Dancing" in 2002.
Weathered was the last Creed album to be released until Full Circle came out in October 2009, with Creed disbanding in June 2004. It is the only Creed album not to include bassist Brian Marshall, who departed from the band in August 2000. Guitarist Mark Tremonti played bass guitar on the album in his absence. The album received mixed reviews from critics.
