Customer Reviews

Scott Stapp is Back!!
I have just heard 3 songs from this album and I am really impressed. If you like Creed you will love this, and even if you don't like Creed you will also like what you hear!

Be sure to visit the Scott Stapp music page on www.ScottStapp.com and take a listen to the new tracks "Surround Me" and "Fight Song"! The site also includes the full song and video for his debut song which is also titled the "Great Divide".

Roll on the 22nd November when I can finally get hold of this album! I have waited for this since the break up of Creed!!

Good. Like Creed but with rather inferior guitar.
Creed was one of those bands that was very strong in both the guitar and the singing departments, Tremonti's avalanche guitar sound combining with Stapp's testosterone-drenched vocal to produce a formidably powerful sound.
Seems to me that Stapp without Tremonti is very much like Axl without Slash, so your feelings about the former duo will probably match your feelings for the latter. Personally I think that guitar virtuosity and originality, though of course sorely missed if absent, are of secondary importance to the vocals and the songwriting, and it certainly seems that Stapp was the main songwriting force in Creed from what's on display in this new solo album.
And as such the album is basically Creed, but with inferior guitar. Interestingly, Stapp has employed two guitarists to replace Tremonti, but they have less combined punch than he had on his own! Just shows you how amazing he is. Conversely, his new band Alter Bridge features fantastic guitar work but lacks in songwriting skill.
So basically the album's pretty good. Heavy-ish, with powerful and emotive lyrics - enough to give the odd wave of goosebumps. Last track, "Broken", is excellent.
I don't think it's a 4-star album, but 3 seems a bit harsh, so consider it a 7/10.

Watch this one, it's not what you think!!
Great single, but for some reason, Amazon have listed the full 10 tracks on the album, instead of the two tracks it actually contains (The Great divide with video, & You Will Soar). I bought it thinking I had the album. So please, buy it if you want to see what Scott Stapp's been doing since leaving Creed, but if you want the album, as I did, look elsewhere.
