If you're looking for bland, middle of the road, radio friendly rock devoid of any personality, Creed has at least half a dozen songs better than those.
Amongst the Waves and Infallible are cute little ditties that probably could have both benefited immensely from a different production path, but I will defend Force of Nature to the end.
p.s. All three of those songs are several universes above anything by Creed. Come on, now. Creed.

Infallible reminds me of the attitude of some Manchester United, Chelsea and Millwall fans towards the Hillsbrough disaster.

The last 15 seconds or so of Foo Fighters’ “Learn To Fly” sound like something that could have been on No Code or Yield.

The intro here has always reminded me of either a Ten demo or maybe just the heavier TB2k instrumental

Gideon by MMJ sounds A LOT like one of the instrumentals from TB 2000.

The verses in Kayla Divenere's song "Psychopath" sound like 'Spin the Black Circle" crossed with Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy"

A couple years probably. But the descending power chords reminded me of it

how many songs have descending power chords?

But both riffs slide down 4 chords chromatically (a half-step down with each chord) and then slide a full step down for the end of the riff. They're not the same, obviously, but it's also not a super common progression, so it reminded me of it. Which is sort of what this thread is about.

I always thought "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica was an attempt at a Pearl Jam song like "Release"

but they don't "sound" the same, even if they have similar musical movements. is the rhythm the same? the tone is completely different. why would this even remind you of a song you haven't listened to in years?

Well, clearly I hear a similarity that prompted me to post it here. I've explained to you in musical terms where I hear the similarity. We can just disagree and that's cool

Have you ever heard the major-scale version of "Nothing Else Matters"?

The riff that starts at 2:35 is very similar to "Evenflow"
