Pretty big Creed fan back in the day. I like Alter Bridge but never got into them like I did Creed.Wasn't expecting too much from Scott Stapp, I didn't think he would do too well away from Tremontti. But when I heard the last 60 seconds of the single "The Great Divide" on the radio, I was intrigued. It sure sounded good.So I went ahead and bought it and man was I shocked. What a solid debut album. The lyrics are incredible - the lyrics are what is missing from Alter Bridge's stuff. Tracks 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and my favorites. Track 5 is probably the only one I could do without, and probably why I won't give the album a 5. Great vocals - Stapp still has it. Great music, I am stunned how good the band is.Stapp stands on his own and I hope this band can stick together for at least a couple more albums.
