Stockholm Syndrome Trailer from Derek Webb on Vimeo.
This just in: Derek Webb's new album, Stockholm Syndrome, will be released in September in two versions: a clean and explicit version.
The controversy surrounds the lyrics to one of the songs, "What Matters More," in which Webb says apparently the word "sh*t". In typical Derek Webb fashion, he's used a bit of shock value to make a point and in the process made his label a little nervous. (And used it all to promote the album.)
So the only way to get the entire album, in it's original sequence and in its entirety with the song "What Matters More" is to order it from Derek Webb directly.
While the album doesn't technically release until September, if you order it now you get a full and immediate download of the album. For more info on the album and how to order, visit Derek Webb's website.

Regarding the interview and "stockholm syndrome", I'd be curious whether Derek has or is considering many Christians to have "sold out" to the institutional church as it has taken them "hostage" by providing new laws instead of the freedom to be found in Christ.
You could probably find a better way to phrase that .... :-)
I am one of the biggest Derek Webb fans that I know but am a bit dissapointed in this album. Artistically and musically I think the album is very orignal and shows the talent and diversity of Derek. However, I feel that Derek has not balanced Grace, Sovereignty, and truth. He has alot of complaints but offers no redemption. If I had not heard any of Derek's other albums I would probablly not know that this was a Christian album. I do agree that there are a ton of flaws in the church and alot of law without grace. However telling people that they run their mouth too damn much and that people don't give a shit is not the way to edify build up or even criticize the church. I feel that this album wanting to push the envelope to see just how controversial he could be. I look forward to reading the interview and I am hoping that Derek explains his thoughts and ideas clearly because right now I am not sure how I feel about this album or Derek.
Good album, Derek!
I think you should ask him if he's researched 9/11. I think he's figured out it was an inside job the way Thrice and millions of others have. Truth will break through the lies!

WOW! Derek Webb, you never cease to amaze me with lyrics that cut right to the heart.
Don't let it go to your head, but your words in this album and your previous ones have spoken more into my life and faith then nearly any sermon I've heard in the last 10 years
