Twenty-five years after Creed’s Weathered debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and began an extraordinary eight-week run atop the chart, Craft Recordings celebrates the landmark album with a newly remastered and expanded Deluxe Edition, arriving November 20th—exactly 25 years to the day after its original 2001 release—on 2-LP, CD and digital formats. Featuring the enduring hits My Sacrifice and One Last Breath, alongside the title track Weathered and live staple Bullets. Weathered has been certified six times Platinum by the RIAA and remains a defining rock album of the early 2000s.
The anniversary edition pairs the newly remastered original album with four bonus tracks from the era, led by Creed’s cover of The Doors’ Riders on the Storm, featuring legendary Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. Also included are edits of My Sacrifice and Weathered along with an acoustic version of Don’t Stop Dancing. The 2-LP edition marks Weathered’s first-ever release on vinyl and is presented in a gatefold jacket.
Alongside the wide release, the 2-LP set will be available in a range of limited-edition color pressings through the Official Creed Store (Sunspot Swirl), Craft Recordings (Ember Swirl), Revolver (Tiger’s Eye), Barnes & Noble (Moss Swirl), Urban Outfitters(Translucent Forest Green), Books-A-Million (Golden Yellow), and Indie Record Stores/Vinyl Voice (Burnt Red Swirl). All formats are available to pre-order/pre-save now.
Available to stream today is My Sacrifice (Radio Edit / Remastered 2026), a newly remastered version of the album’s lead single and one of Creed’s signature songs. Released in the fall of 2001, My Sacrifice became a major crossover hit, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and helping usher in one of the most successful chapters of the band’s career.
By the time Creed began work on Weathered, the Florida rock band had already reached a level few of their contemporaries could match. Their 1997 debut, My Own Prison, established the band nationally, while 1999’s Human Clay propelled them into the mainstream with Higher and the GRAMMY®-winning number one single With Arms Wide Open. When Weathered arrived on November 20, 2001, Creed were at the height of a remarkable run that had made them one of the biggest rock bands in the world.
Recorded in Florida with longtime producer John Kurzweg and co-producer Kirk Kelsey, Weathered found the band working as a trio: vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti and drummer Scott Phillips, with Tremonti also handling bass throughout the album. Musically, the record pushed toward both ends of Creed’s sound.
The opening one-two punch of Bullets and Freedom Fighter ranks among the band’s heaviest recorded work, with Bullets becoming a lasting fixture of their live show, while My Sacrifice and One Last Breath leaned into the sweeping melodies and arena-sized dynamics that had become central to their appeal. Elsewhere, the title track Weathered paired a blues-inflected guitar riff with lyrics reflecting the pressures and scrutiny that accompanied the band’s rapid ascent, while Don’t Stop Dancing expanded the album’s palette with contributions from the Tallahassee Boys’ Choir. The brief Lullaby brought the record to an understated finish.
