This album, the 1st solo album by Mr Stapp, is a stunning achievement! The songs dramatize the life of Jesus. Starting with song#4, Justify--this is the temptation of Jesus by the devil after Jesus is baptized and goes into the Wilderness. Stapp gives it a modern re-telling. Let Me Go, song#5, is Jesus rebuking the devil and telling the devil that evil is worthless. Surround Me, song#7, is after Christ resists the temptations of the devil, Jesus realizes that he needs support from the Father, in Heaven. Jesus is tired from the devil and from being alone in the Wilderness. He asks for His Heavenly Father to "surround him" with Power, and this also is a metaphor for Jesus selecting His disciples who will "surround him" until He is put to death by the Sanhedrin and the Romans. The Great Divide, song#8, the title track, is Jesus again singing his Praises Of the Heavenly Father -- that although Jesus is on Earth, and His Father is in Heaven, together they will survive "the Great Divide," the separation between them until Jesus & the Father are re-united when Jesus ascends to Heaven in all His Glory. Jesus sees who He really IS --the Great I Am who became flesh and dwelt among us. Sublime, song #9, Jesus sees what his Kingdom will be: Sublime! As Stapp sings, "trying to sing a song about Heaven on Earth." This is an allusion to Christ's return to Earth, one day, to set-up His Kingdom. Broken, song #10, and the final song on the CD, describes the trials of Jesus' Crucifixion on the Cross -- "Do you know /what it feels like/ to be broken and used?/ Scared and confused?... This album took on a profound meaning when I lined it up with the narrative of the Life Of Jesus Christ told in the Gospels in the New Testament of the Bible!!! Thank you Mr Stapp for a great piece of art in music.Read full review
I have always listened to Creed and loved all their music, so I thought maybe I would would like Stapp's solo project. This is the first time I really listened to this cd and cannot get over how under appreciated this cd has been. It is awesome! Stapp is so gifted with a unique voice and his songwriting speaks right to my heart and is so relatable to life. I don't want to shut it off when I park in the driveway and sometimes sit there listening for 20 minutes before going in the house. I am glad he is back with Creed!
Great album, creates more questions than it answers. The former lead singer of Creed still has the voice and lyrics that catapulted the band into "super band" status during its brief stint together. Creed fans are left scratching their collective heads wonder why the boys can't get back together when both bands (Scott Stapp and Alter Bridge) both have released successful albums. Enjoy, I believe there will not be another album coming from Scott. At least he went out with a bang, instead of a whimper. Creed fans will love it.
I love this album..Scott's lyrics are amazing..He is a wonderful Soulfully Songwriter and performer.I am hoping that he comes out with another New album.. His songs can be interperted many ways..Depending on what You seek.. This has amazing Rythym..Wonderful..a must have for Creed fans that miss their music..
