| Editorial Reviews:
Any sports fan worth his tray of nachos will tell you that a winning team should never mess much with its lineup. So you'll forgive Avalon fans if they approach The Creed with a little trepidation. After all, half of the award-winning group has left for other ventures and new arrivals Greg Long and Melissa Greene now join Jody McBrayer and Janna Long as the new Avalon. But like the Patriots and Yankees who change faces with the same successful results, Avalon has yet another winner with The Creed. Vocal chemistry, always critical to ensemble groups like Avalon, appears as stable as ever with Long adding his powerful vocals and soprano Greene capping the high end with style. In fact, Long is showcased on "I Wanna Be With You," a definite radio-hit-in-the-making with an irresistible sing-along chorus, as well as the title track, a powerful statement of faith forged by the group's vocal tour-de-force. And like a true winning organization, Avalon called upon the best resources with producers Brown Bannister, Charlie Peacock, and Tedd T., and the best songwriting by approaching 20 different writers in search of material. The end result will no doubt be more awards, more radio hits, and more lives touched by this group's smooth but soulful delivery. --Michael Lyttle

 One of the best albums out there July 21, 2009
FlowerPower (CA, USA)
I'll admit that I only liked a few songs on this album, but the songs that I did like were incredible, so that is why I'm giving it five stars. My favorite song was "I Bring it to you," but there were a few others that I thought were good as well.
 Not their Best. December 16, 2007
James A. Nichols (Midwest City, OK)
I like some of their songs but nothing really stood out on this for me musically. I just couldnt get into it at all. I even think the cover is a little funny with the whole "Matrix" look. Wouldnt recommend it but if you are an Avalon fan it maybe worth checking out.

Avalon is my favorite group ever, and I love every CD they release. THE CREED is no different, but without founding member Michael Passons, it just isn't the same. "All" is my favorite song on the album--a song about surrendering ourselves to God. "The Creed" is the first song that newest addition Greg Long gets the spotlight in. His voice isn't really bad, it's just not the best I've ever heard. Still, it works for Avalon. "Abundantly" gives Janna credit for another great vocal. She just does it again and again and again! Great lyrics, definitely a favorite. "I Wanna Be With You" is Greg's solo song--I would have to admit that this one is REALLY catchy! I loved it the minute I heard it. "You Were There" is Jody's solo song and is simply AMAZING!!! Tied for 1st on this CD! "Far Away From Here" is slower at first but then gets going on the chorus. The beat is catchy and definitely another highlight. "Overjoyed", a song taken from Janna Long's solo album, makes me wonder how anyone could hit the high notes that Janna does. It sounds like something that would be on 2001's "Oxygen". Melissa Greene's solo song, "I Bring It To You" is a worship song that is another one of my favorites, as is "The Good Way". "Renew Me" closes things out on a slower note with specactular vocal performance.
So, even without Michael Passons, this CD still deserves 5 stars and should be purchased by anyone who likes Christian music. GREAT JOB, AVALON!!!

I have most of avalon's CD's, and i hate to say this one was by far the worst! The only songs i liked were All, I Wanna Be With You, I bring it To You, The Good Way, and Far Away From Here. The rest are boring, especially The Creed. Don't even know why they put that on there! I don't like Greg Long! I wish the blonde guy had never quitt. He was good. Greg Long just doesn't fit in with Avalon.
Stand, Oxygen, and In A Different Light are the best Avalon CD's.
