My Own Prison Tracklist
My Own Prison is post-grunge band Creed’s debut album and introduction into the rock scene. With classics such as “Torn”, “My Own Prison”, and “What’s This Life For”, Creed gained a following that would later increase with their next two studio albums, Human Clay and Weathered.
This debut album mainly holds the theme of mental imprisonment and being overlooked, shown with the lies and control exposed in “Torn”, lack of freedom in “In America”, and neglect in “Sister”. The big highlight about the album’s theme however is “What’s This Life For”, a song that talks on the sensitive topic of teenage suicide and the reasoning behind it.
Commercially, My Own Prison has done pretty swell. The album has sold six million copies within the United States, giving it a 6 time platinum in 2002. Four singles were also released off of My Own Prison, making them big reasons for why the album became such a hit. These singles include “My Own Prison”, “Torn”, “What’s This Life For”, and “One”.
My Own Prison still holds up as one of Creed’s best albums.
