Query: Poor follow up to two excellent albums

I was not impressed at all with this new release. In my opinion, Human Clay is Creed's best work by far and I was expecting this album to at least equal or better Human Clay. Unfortunately, this album is a disappointment. The songwriting is very generic and not very creative and Mark Tremonti's guitar playing is very boring. Nothing creative like on Human Clay and My Own Prison. It seems like the band ran out of good ideas and just threw something together just to put an album out which is what I feared would happen from a band which has set the bar so high for itself.
