Its funny you say this. I kind of felt the same way but kept my mouth shut since everyone else seemed to love it so much. Its cool in the verses but the slow snare build in the prechorus kind of seems just a touch lazy. Could definitely do something cooler there without having it sound too flashy a la Luzier. He has some good intuition on when to rest in this song though. I'll admit this is me nitpicking though. I really like the song overall.
How is this not already a breaking Benjamin or creed song?

The first time I listened to it I thought it sounded a bit like the kinda songs that were on the last Art of Anarchy album with Stapp. Not his voice. Just that kinda generic cookie cutter rock sound. Again as I’ve stated, nothing terrible but nothing great. I’m not sure why people are getting flamed so hard for not liking the song? The thread is surely to discuss people’s opinions on the song wether that’s positive or negative? We all dig different things. Honestly though, if this song wasn’t by STP I wouldn’t be listening to it at all because it doesn’t do anything for me personally. ‘Meadow’ I liked, this one I don’t. If I think the album sucks I’ll probably say so on here too lol but I’ll be giving it a fair shot and I’m hoping for some good tunes. I’m not gonna write it off before I’ve heard it.

Cause if I heard this song on the radio I would immediately being searching the lyrics to find out who was singing, I enjoy it that much, and am indifferent on most rock bands of today.Its just a really solid rocker...nothing meant to be a super hit or added staple...and for those who have been yearning for some heavier stuff from the boys...for me...this satisfies.

The part of the song when he first starts singing, up until the first chorus, I like less than the rest of the song. Not sure why. Just that one piece. The rest of it I love.
I was really excited when I saw this song was released. I went to my car and put it on on repeat and blasted it three times in a row. But my excitement was dulled after the first listen. I loved Meadow and was so happy they were back. I like Gutt. But I'm really worried that this will be what the rest of the album sounds like. This was the first time I've ever been that underwhelmed by an STP or STP-related release. I'll give the full album a listen, but my hopes are not high.
I'm digging this song more than Meadow which I also like
