I don't know if you're religious or not. But when you're in trouble, people claim to God desperately. But when things are doing fine, they will tell everybody and cheer before they remember to thank God.

It's part of human nature...


You know Marcos, despite the religion thing (and not Im not much religious... ) I still think its related to the TALENT...or you have it or ...

it's down to talent, but talent is nothing without inspiration or motivation.

Stapp proved he has talent back in the day. But as Mark said, maybe music isn't his priority anymore...

Yeah, that may be true... Flip also said that Stapp always would go like: "Being a singer was my second choise. I always wanted to be an athlet", etc.

And for all of those who are gonna misunderstand this; Mark did say maybe music isn't his priority anymore.

Can't write as well when not depressed? I find that a laughable jump to conclusions...

Oh, My God...I didnt say Stapp has no talent to(good!!) write songs, even though I CANT understand why his latest songs are SO poor concerning to the lyrics and they were so good in Creed... By the way, I'm listening to My Own Prison and what a difference!!!!

And I'm not a lyricist, dont have the TALENT, but I also think that you CAN write good songs if you are in a GREAT MOOD...well, I dont know...maybe Im wrong...

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.

It surprises me that most people who like MOP still question who wrote the lyrics - most Creed fans know the origins of songs like Torn and MOP.

As for TGD and Surround Me - I love them both. His voice sounds fine to me. I thought SM was a great performance - with the exception of the opening line 'They say no maAAAAn's an island....'

Alter Bridge done a fine job with ODR and I'm predicting Stapp to do well too.
It doesn't really matter, but I think he will sell more albums. That's only my opinion.

Take Care

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...

You have seen lyrics from three songs, one of which will probably not even be on the Great Divide. Why don't you wait until the CD comes out, and you have the opportunity to read all the lyrics, to make your prediction.

Agree. I dont see how his lyrical style has changed so much since Creed, even Weathered lyrics were 10x better this this tripe (only my opinion before anyone whinges). Theres no imagery, no thinking bout meanings of songs. Its just handed to you on a plate. The lyrics mean nothing to me, but I suppose I can see some people relating to it. If the album follows the same approach as the 2 songs ive heard then I cant see myself enjoying it
