Partially because it's not clear what they're trying to achieve with this song. And partially because whatever it is, it simply doesn't work for me for pretty much the same reasons you mention below, Tara. But hey, it's their music. If they start playing stuff I don't like, I stop listening. Easy enough.

The thing is, there are songs by Beastie Boys and Rage that I don't mind, though I wouldn't consider myself a fan of either group - my ex-husband listened to them, so I got used to the songs he played the most. The thing is, it's THEIR style, so it doesn't sound odd for me to hear the "yelling and screaming" from them... it's pretty much expected. I was just really surprised (and yes, disappointed) to hear it coming from Creed... as previously stated, I don't think much of that type of music, and I expected better from them. To me, them saying that this album is going to be harder and different from the others meant more of a "What If" sound. I'm the type of person who doesn't really care for change much, which is probably why I didn't care for the new style. It seems like they made some pretty major changes away from their norm. I've seen others on the list ranting and raving about how this will open up new doors for them, help them get a new fanbase... what about losing the old fans? The original ones weren't good enough? (No, not trying to pick a fight, just rhetorical questions there). I suppose that the opinion of three fans (me, Scott, and my sister Megan) don't really matter a whole lot in the overall scheme of things, but at least having two others agree with me lets me know that I'm not completely daft in not liking the song that much. Oh well... maybe it'll grow on me. The thing is, I LIKE some bands that others consider harder or darker... Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Godsmack, Linkin Park, Type-O Negative, Tool, Rob Zombie... (I don't really know which other bands I like would be considered hard or not). I guess the point is that I just don't like that style coming from Creed.
