you boviously draw your conclusions from just the overplayed radio songs which puts you right along with the iron maiden fans. turn off the stereo and burn a CD or go buy it. "all the right reasons" kicks some serious arse. Linkin park's first CD pretty much had the same sort of music on every track...if it aint broke...DONT FIX IT...shoot
Neil stupid diamond made a living out of the SAM SLOW CRAP SONGS for like what ???20 years??? if you are good at a sound ...dont change it
Think of the greats


AC/DC same sound..awesome crap!!

metallica ...musically the WORST band in history..but they had that sound down pat...

incubus....same thing, awesome songs

green day is a prime example of the same crap on a different CD..but i love em!!

Rage against the machine...but each song had crazy different riffs in it and a few different power chords for a few different songs...but they alll were in the same tone.

i think you just need to get off the radio and stop reguritating other peoples opinions because it sounds all right. Turn off the radio, check them out online and dont let other radio fruit cakes influence your opinion. i turn on the radio like once a week. Always listening to different bands. i tend to steer more towards rock..nickelback, rage, audioslave ( favorite band), soundgarden, velvet revolver, HIM, korn, AC/DC, stepphenwolf, poison, van halen NOT VAN HAGGAR.

that music video kicks butt by the way. its called ORIGINAL...
