Re: The Great Divide vs. Alter Bridge

As a whole, ODR is better than TGD: it's solid and more versatile. The lyrics are metaphorical, which make them harder to understand and apply to ourselves when we don't know what inspired them to do it. But they can be improved.

Stapp's lyrics are "catchier" and more radio friendly, yet I don't think it's a reason to make it better or worse. The music is quite simple, but it's good Stapp did some "experimental" tracks like on Justify, which is like he's telling a story and talking on the 1st person instead of singing.
