To me,it seems that alot of people(not everybody) bash Riot! because it was mainstream ,and bashing mainstream stuff is the "cool" thing to do.I heard some say the lyrics weren't as deep as AWKIF.....I mean,realy? Riot! had great songs like Hallelujah,We are Broken ,and more with great lyrics.Another thing I've heard is that they changed their sound to much ,and they're not as "rockish" sounding as they used to be....If they didn't change they're sound every body would say "this sounds the exact same as they're other album:mad:" and Riot! had great "rockish" songs anyway like LTFB and Miz Biz.I'm sure everyone doesn't think that way ,but it seems like alot do.
