Quote:

Eight years have passed since My Own Prison. I think most peoples lives have changed in that time so it comes as no suprise that the lyrics Stapp has written for The Great Divide are different.

His priorities, inspiration and religious state have all changed since then. I can still hear the 'essence of Creed' in his music. One thing that stood out for me in Creeds music was the intimacy compared to most rock bands - it was as if they were singing 'to you' as opposed to 'for you' - that is evident in Stapps lyrics concerning TGD and Surround Me.

Well, I admmit that his lyrics changed, of course; but the real problem is that NOW they are no more synonym of great lyrics, not even good ones (as they were in Creed) and its easy to everyone notice it; MOP, for instance has great songs with awesome lyrics. Still an amazing album.

And despite all the religion present in Stapps latest songs (RL,TGD and SM) I still think they are bad (especially lyrics) and I CANT see (until now) any vestige of the Creed essence in his music...
