To my surprise, the song was mixed by Chris Baseford, who also mixed the previous album.
Just a reminder from page 116: Joel Wanasek said this last month.
I mixed 4 songs off Scott’s upcoming album. Baseford mixed the rest.
For those who won't watch the whole interview, he talks about Creed at 6:14 and says this: That was something I think managers were talking about for a long time before the artists were approached. And so then we were approached and everyone signed on. [We] thought it would be a good way to kind of ...
@nagpo : good point. It sounds like we've already heard that kind of lyrics since 2013. It's weird, because I remember back during the 2019 promo cycle that he wanted to move on from the gossip stuff. He wanted fans to actually focus primarily on his music, and 4 years later, he's the one singing ab...
Here are my thoughts after one listen. It's sounding really modern. It's a bit too fast and upbeat for my taste: for me, Stapp has always been at his best when he was telling a story in a slow pace, with his baritone voice, and this is not the case here at all. The breakdown riff is pretty cool. I d...
If that teaser is any indication, he's going for a downtuned hard rock style.
Which is not what Creed fans want to hear from him.
I'm sometimes wondering why he's doing going back to the sound of songs like What's This Life For, Torn or My Own Prison, which made him stand out back in the day.
It's not perfect, but still WAY better than any performance by Creed from 2009 to 2012. They're at least trying to be faithful to the original material, which is always commendable. I hope Creed steps it up next year. Bringing back his clean old tone would be a nice step in the right direction, but ...
Look at the current success of Limp Bizkit and Blink-182, who were at their creative peak during the same time as Creed (1999-2001). The latter are bigger than ever and making a fortune in 2023. Just like Creed, it looked like they had major internal issues and that a reunion was impossible. Yet, th...
Great news: Stapp's got a new solo album coming. https://youtu.be/DEd0eV2sjiQ Music producer Joel Wanasek reacts to "Purpose For Pain" by Scott Stapp, originally mixed by Chris Baseford on the album “The Space Between The Shadows.” And in the comments, he says this: Yes I mixed 4 songs off...
It's a good idea for a part 2, but man, it's such a bummer that he didn't record those songs which would have suited his voice like a glove:
- I'll Be Home For Christmas
- The Christmas Waltz
- It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
- Silent Night
AB and all the other projects are all poorly managed, and their PR and videos are not at the level where they should be. Creed used to properly managed and promoted: say what you want about Wind-up Records, but they knew how do to their job, and they were one of the reasons the band became so big ba...
If they do it for the right reasons, why not? If they want it to work this time, they'll have to do the exact opposite of what they did from 2009 to 2012 though. And by that, I mean : - work on their inner band relationships first and foremost: if they put the drama under the rug as they did in 2008...
Who knows?
Maybe he works behind the scenes in the Nashville music industry and does a couple of concerts from time to time in the week-end, like many artists these days.
It just costs too much to tour extensively if you're not that big.
I'm wondering what Stapp has been doing with his time during the last 3 years. Everybody's back on the road or releasing albums. As far as I know, he's played a handful of public shows during the last year, as well as some private ones. Is music still his main thing, or does he do something else wit...
I believe there is also another interview where he mentions have watching documentaries on cults having been inspiration for this song. You're thinking about Indoctrination: 7. Indoctrination Direct Quote from Myles: "It is about a really bad cult leader. Where it came from was actually a Netf...
