I thought the same thing. I was rather stunned when it was as radio-friendly and Creedish as it was.
I kind of felt the same way about the hype of the Weathered album. They all kept saying there were extreme highs and lows - well the only extremes were Bullets and Lullaby. Tracks 5-10 all sounded about the same (of the same breed as Higher and WAWO). And then there's WGMB.
I just hope that on the Alter Bridge album there is harder stuff that's different from Creed.
Edited to note that I
do like the song though.
