I think that with the release of Just Breathe that Pearl Jam fans lost all moral high ground to make that type comparison to Creed.

pitchfork is to this review as pearl jam is to creed as Arms Wide Open is to Just Breathe.
Just Breathe isn't perfect but it's better than anything Creed ever wrote and is nothing like Creed.
Compare the two songs. I'd venture to say that Arms Wide Open is the much song in fact. Just Breathe is the epitomy of Mom&Dad rock.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

It's more an attempt at folk / acoustic / Americana. Arms Wide Open is a rock song.

Fuck Creed. Scott Stapp is a wad.
Fuck that "review". I need a google translation of that drivel.

Basically, everyone just needs to mind their manners.

It really bugs me that some of our titles under our avatars are capitalized and some are not.

'Dad rock' is just anything that I don't like because I'm way cooler than my parents. Like U2.

Given how excessive parts of Just Breathe are, doesn't that make it kind of metal?

If Dave A. could have been metal in a different band, surely it means that while he was in PJ, they were a little bit metal-influenced. I'm not sure why this is a concept people seem to find difficult.

Man, I'd kill to hear that song with a real healthy amount of Ronnie James Dio "ngyah" at the end of every line.
