"The Imposter" is the second full-length album by American singer-songwriter Kevin Max and was released on October 18, 2005 on Northern Records. The title and overall themes of the album draw inspiration from the writings of controversial theologian (and friend of Max's) Brennan Manning, particularly Manning's books "Ragamuffin Gospel" and "Abba's Child". The title track, according to Max, concerns "the fight between the flesh and the spirit." [cite web

"The Imposter"'s musical textures are different from those found on "Stereotype Be". Gone are the Middle Eastern musical influences in favor of a mixture of ballads and faster rock songs with more pronounced classic rock and blues influences.
