And I don't mean that as an excuse like "well, at least they're doing something".
I mean it like when John Lennon was asked "I used to love your music, what happened?" and he answered "I grew up" (or something to that effect).
I think their music still has creativity (unless we find out that Tedder wrote the whole album), but if what I value from a band is how groundbreaking and creative they are, I would have a hard time trying to find that in a band of 50+ year olds.
