when I first got The Great Divide a couple of years ago, I could not get into this especially as Alter Bridge was getting plenty of spins and think they"re great!, well I've been giving this some solid play lately I love it, it has really grown on me.

Its definitely more "Creed" than Alter Bridge, so if that is where you are going musically, then yes, it is a great disc. I like it for what it is, but I also didn't loath Creed the way a lot of people did/do.

I like it quite a bit I just wish he could get his personal life together.

I bought it for my wife because she is a Creed fan. I don't mind it when she plays it, but I never play it on my own.

Creed had some great songs. I couldn't get into Stapp's solo work quite as much but it was good. He might have been off his rocker through a lot of that but Scott wrote some thought provoking and emotional lyrics.

Creed 10/10
Alter Bridge 8/10
Scott Stapp 7/10

ALTAR BRIDGE destroys CREED in every way.

I have no problems with Creed but Alter Bridge is easily my favorite non-Metal/hard music band right now. They simply know how to write great songs and pull them off with umph!

Creed forever rocks. Long live Creed. Stapp is way better of a singer then Myles. Just wait, it may be years down the road but AB will go the road of Van halen and decide that they need Stapp like VH needed Roth. Even though I prefer Hagar to Roth. It will happen.

Scott Stapp...is the biggest jerk of a celebrity I've ever met in my life. He came in my store a couple of times and was very perturbed that we didn't fawn all over him. I didn't care for him prior to that incident (thought he was a jerk based on news stories and his persona) and that night just furthered my dislike.

My Own Prison was a great tune, but it was a long way downhill from there, musically and in terms of personality.

Reading that interview with in Rollingstone mag makes me think that he may have been humbled a bit in recent times............possiibly!

I love Creed, have not heard either of the spin offs though.

'Watch Over You' is originally done solo by Myles on the Blackbird CD.

I hope for nothing but the best for Stapp. So what if he made mistakes...we all have. Sure, he has been a jerk, but it doesn't mean he can't change. Even if we don't like Creed or Stapp's solo work, we should still hope he can straighten himself out.
