That's right Scott Stapp is back and ready to take on the world by himself. The former lead singer of Creed recently, with in the last week or so, released a solo CD named The Great Divide. Besides the fact that the album has a very "Creed-like" name don't be fooled. It sucks. I really have no idea who decided to give this thing the green light to go production. Quite ridiculous.The one redeeming factor of the CD may be the song "Surround Me" which has some Christian undertones. I'm going to post the lyrics to it so you can give me your thoughts. But first...
Remember Scott's first band? You know Creed? What happened in the late 90's? I mean they were big and everyone liked them. But then all of a sudden everyone started denying that they ever listened to them. What's up with that? I'm not going to lie, I liked Creed and every once in a while I still listen to their old albums. My Own Prison was definitely their best album. Anyway, even if you were on the Creed bandwagon at one time or another, I wouldn't recommend buying this album. Unless you get it free for Christmas or some other way...still I wouldn't waste a present or bandwidth on this!
As promised here are those lyrics that some Christians would love to use to point out that Scott may be following the Lord. (Man I don't like that when it happens) None the-less good lyrics.
They say no man i’s an island but I tend to disagree
I guess they'’ve never seen my island,
And where it lies at sea
I'’m lost inside my memory.
I'’m still in disbelief.
If I could paint a picture for you this is what you'’d see
I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don'’t let me run
Surround me…Surround me…
A wounded man sounds desperate when he'’s lost all his belief
Can you look into my eyes and say you won't betray me
We'’re running out of time
How precious time can be
I'’m counting all the moments of the times you could have helped me
I'’m down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don'’t let me run
Surround me…Surround me?
I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me…Surround me?
Surround me now
Surround me now.

well I happen to like the new stuff. I'm not saying that everyone should like it but Scott has his own voice and style and of course it would sound a bit "Creed like"
I happen to like the song broken, it kind of discribes where I am right now :) And I really love the song Surround me I happen to play it over and over in the span of a day :)
One thing I will say..whats up with this bar fight between Scott and his former band mates?
Dawn. D Out
i loved creed and i listened to them constantly. i liked my own prison a ton, before anyone knew who creed was, and i listened to them even after people knew who creed was and hated them. but alas, they grew stale to me, and now i can't listen to them for a minute because i find it mind-numbingly boring.
i also read an interview with stapp recently and he seemed to make it pretty clear that he was a christian...but i guess that's the battle he's always been fighting with the media.
