Stapp good reviews from billboard

Heres the great divide review from billboard:It has arrived late in the year, but Scott Stapp's solo debut is the surprise of 2005. The title track set expectations that "The Great Divide" would be another Creed album, but guess again. Stapp sheds that template for a rawer sound featuring catchy, driving guitar licks (the fierce "Reach Out," "The Hard Way") and experiments like the Johnny Cash-inflected "Justify." "Sublime" and "Soar" have sweet sentiments but are also strong on inspiration. For all the rock blaze, the set is meant to uplift, focusing on survival, redemption, forgiveness and thankfulness. Stapp is so confident that it's easy to call his messages smug and preachy. But gospel rouser "Broken," a praise-and-worship tearjerker, proves otherwise. As he joyfully sings, "I'm broken," you know his gratitude is sincere and that the man has truly become whole. —Christa L. Titus

It took some time


But I know one thing
It took me away from
All the things love gave me
So I have to let things go...

I can go another round
Despite you.....

I'm still healing...
No I'm not real and
Yes I'm feeling...
This is my fight song

Reach Out is "fierce?" LOL I don't know about that.

He will never make it on his own. It's just a matter of time until he is banging down Tremonti's door, begging for a Creed reunion. I hope Tremonti tells him to shove it.

Definitely nice to see a lot of reviews out for TGD so soon-and practically all of them are praising the album! I have a good feeling about TGD being successful-a very good feeling.

Don't turn this into a debate. You want facts? Alter Bridge has been subjected to being an opening band at times because of their inability to become well known. Some people know who they are, but most people still think Creed is together. Their talent and their popularity are two completely different things. If you think that Stapp won't last... that's fine. But it won't take much for him to become more successful than Alter Bridge in terms of record sells and concert sell outs. Alter Bridge is an amazing band... but the true blame lies with Wind-Up for not really promoting Alter Bridge as well as they should be.

I'm not saying TGD is neccessarily good or not, but I think he'll be MUCH more successful than AB in album sales and concert attendance. I think it would be good for both of them to make amends and get back together.
