That's just a copout from salty fans on the most part IMO, But then if you don't change it up you get bands like Nickleback who get hated anywayQuote:

I would say people (at least, in my circle of friends) hate Nickelback for a lot of reasons, like their style, their songs, their attitude, their crap picture frame clip, their look, the singer and his poodle haircut, being best friends with Pantera but not being heavy, haha the list goes on and on..
People wouldn't necessarily hate on them for sounding the same on every album cause the Foo Fighters are damn successful and pretty widely loved..
Foo Fighters change it up though. Maybe not dramatically but enough to make each album fresh IMOQuote:

They have continued to polarise their older fanbases but keep finding new fans every album.
Whereas bands like Foo Fighters stayed exactly where they started and honed that sound for a few decades. (Although they did just record a Bowie style dance rock album, lmao, so even they got bored of it eventually.)
Both are huge, but took different approaches. I'd say whatever keeps you getting paid is the best way to keep you making music if that's what you want to do.

Is this the worst song ever created? It must at absolute least be close to the top (bottom) of the pile.
