My Own Prison is the debut album by Creed, released on June 18, 1997. It has been certified
6x platinum and is one of the top 200 selling albums of all time in the United States. The person
kneeling on the album's cover is Justin Brown, a friend of the band. The picture was taken by
Mark Tremonti's brother, Daniel, for a photography class.
Wind-up Records intends to reissue the album in a 10th Anniversary Special package. This was
slated for a release of November 13, 2007 but has been delayed.
Over the course of Creed's career, the album has gone on to sell 6 million copies. The album
has sold very well considering it was not originally released with any major media coverage, as
Creed was an unknown band at the time. However, radio station DJs said that when they played
"My Own Prison", they instantly got swamped with calls from people wanting to know whose
song it was.
