Re: Stapp Confesses

Quote: (Originally Posted by Robin101) After listening to ODR and TGD I happen to think there is more Creed in Stapp's music and I do believe that Stapp was the lyrical force behind Creed. However, some people dislike Stapp to the extent that they don't want him to have much credit. I've always been slightly curious when Tremonti insists that the split was a positive thing because Stapp always got the last say with Creed in the creative department - perhaps Stapp had a bigger input with the music then what we are led to believe. Just a thought!!

Take Care
I'll agree with that in regard to Weathered. That album was so much softer than the previous two records and, after having listened to the Great Divide, that was a direction Mark and Flip didn't want to pursue, IMO. I think Mark was getting frustrated musically with the direction Scott, and probably Wind Up, wanted Creed to go. It's funny, but Weathered had the least staying power of the Creed albums for me.
