Query: The Boring Line

I've never understood the reverie in which the Starting Line is held by some people. I remember a few years ago a friend of mine telling me "Hey man, have you heard the Starting Line yet? They are absolutely amazing." So I went and checked them out. I just couldn't see what all the fuss was about. Their music wasn't terrible or anything. It was just bland, cookie-cutter poppy punky emoish stuff that sounded like a million other bands.Regardless of my previous views of the band, I picked up 'Direction' on a whim a few weeks back and I am still just bored to death by these guys. The music isn't bad or annoying or anything but it is unbelievably boring. There's not a single hook on this record that sticks in my mind. Maybe there is just something I'm not getting because a lot of people really dig these guys, but for the life of me I just can't figure out what it is.
