I like it. I'm glad to hear that Scott doesn't sound like he is singing with marbles in his mouth anymore or like he's trying to swallow his tongue. Big improvement I think, as long as he does this right and doesn't try to get his new band to play Creed songs then he will have a decent shot at establishing a new identity for himself and have some new found success

Damn this is much better than his second solo record in some respects. His voice does not seem as over produced. I wonder who is producing the record?

It's definitely Stapp writing the lyrics on this record. I could tell from the parts in the song where he's talking about being lead by an angel on a highway. He's spoken about this in the past. When he was having his mental breakdown and driving across country giving away stuff, he was having illusions of a giant angry angel beating its own hand telling him to do things.

When does the record come out?

Thanks a bunch. The video was pretty good. Turns out Dan Catullo directed it. He also did the Creed dvd.

Music Video is up on YouTube now too



Stapp's voice is definitely sounding good here - clearly not Howard Benson's work. Looking forward to hearing more from this album.

Catullo is making money so he can replace my coffee-table-book........................................

[Mr. Slash]

The song is pretty cool. Not "Alter Bridge cool" but far far away from the typical Stapp cheesyness. The vocals are pretty good aswell.

[chtimixeur]

It's different for him, and that's a good thing.
I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but I hope this is a new beginning for his career.

On a side note, am i the only one finding it odd that :
- he's releasing this new single on the Last hero's release date
- he keeps singing about the Other Side. How uncanny is that ?!!

Hmm maybe just coincidence?

[chtimixeur]

I know, it's just odd.

[AB23]

that is quite a coincidence actually.

If it was anyone else, ya sure. But it's a guy with a repeated reputation of being an attention whore and a dick. So I mean, that alone adds fuel.

[riemslag1]

Amen

[Seeker_1306]

Sounding good so far. Looking forward to the entire album. Does anyone else think it's a bit early to put out a single though? If they're not releasing the album until spring.

[Them Bones]

I hope they grow and gel as a band. For me its nothing special. It sounds generic. Stapp's vocals seem to have a lotta effects on them, and these power screams are something that he can't pull of live. His old approach to big melodies as a vocalist worked wonders, but hey, that time is never coming back right? For stapp's sake, I hope he takes this opportunity and turns it into something great with these guys. Hoping the album has better songs than this one. His solo band has been ever disappointing. Why stapp? why?

[Timotheus]

Just heard the song for the first time. I really wanted to like it, mostly because of Bumblefoot, but I thought it was super generic. Stapp's voice sounds super processed and I think he looks out of place up there. I can't take anything he does seriously anymore. I really feel bad for Bumblefoot that he has to deal with him. First Axl and Weiland, and now this..

[Them Bones]

feeling bad for Bumblefoot? he had to deal with axl, weiland and now stapp? Bumblefoot is being part of some of the greatest rock n roll history by being in a band with these guys, no matter how bad their personal lives have been, Axl, Weiland and Stapp are legends. I will still maintain, no matter what he has become now, Stapp's vocals back in the day were phenomenal, his lyric writing was epic and melody work was beyond great. Weiland and Axl are irreplaceable in their respective bands too. Please do not discredit how brilliant musicians these individuals were, everyone goes through different times in their life, as much as I dislike what Stapp does these days, I almost equally dislike Mark's pseudo pre teen metal that he has gotten into. Am shocked with how commercial the latest AB offering sounds and how this album is being put on pedestal by the same people who wanted the band to be less commercial.
