Review Summary: The worst thing to happen to music since Insane Clown Posse got a record deal How low can bad music get? We may have our answer.
When i hear someone hating on Nickelback, i often hear the comeback of "Come on man, this isn't nearly as bad as that crap they play on the radio!" My outburst of laughter is always present, because this IS "that crap they play on the radio"! So what is it about this album that makes it so awful anyway? Well it could be the extreme lack of originality. Or it could be the lack of any real instrumental talent. Let me start by discussing the lyrics and song elements. The album starts with Something In Your Mouth, and in the event that you're missing something, that's a reference to oral sex. If you can't get enough of that, the album is full of it. In fact, there's even a song called S.E.X. Isn't that creative? Aside from the blatant sexual lyrics that show up in just about every song, there's also some pretty generic song subjects. For example, If Today Was Your Last Day, which is self explanatory.
Another counterargument someone could make would be "Well in the 80's, lots of the good music was about sex!" That's just another statement about the bands lack of originality. While we're on the subject of unoriginality, i think it's worth noting that Nickelback covers Metallica songs at some of their concerts. Is it because their own material sucks so much? Yeah. Now onto the riffs and solos. Riffs are recycled and generic, and solos are pretty much nonexistent. If Today Was Your Last Day is strangely reminiscent of one of their previous singles, Far Away.
If you really want to search all over this album to find a positive note, and you actually do, let me know. I think we may have a candidate for worst album of the decade. If you're looking for some better mainstream rock alternatives to Nickelback, i would suggest checking out the bands they're touring with, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, and Sick Puppies. In conclusion, this album is really nothing to write home about. Unless you're writing home to warn your family of how bad this is.

Review is not bad for a first, but still is pretty meh. Your review is as generic and unoriginal as this album. You didn't say anything that hasn't been said before about this band.
Also, capitalize the "I" when you are referring to yourself ("When I hear someone hating on Nickelback")
| | |
You don't really talk about the sound of the album at all except for the fact they talk about sex and there aren't any riffs/solos

not a bad review, especially for a first, but it ends abruptly and I agree with others that you should talk more about why this really does deserve the lowest score possible.
Or it could be the lack of any real instrumental talent. dunno man, I haven't heard this one in full (and am not really planning to either), but in the past, these guys definitely have had some pretty decent hard rock riffs in their songs. Also, the new drummer is pretty skillful.

Wow, it took me a genius to tell me that Nickelback sucked. Thank you for your intelligence my friend. Without you I may never have known that this album was really generic and awful, and that "I" is supposed to be lowercase. Where have I been?

@theacademy: What a ludicrous statement. I hope you're being sarcastic.

Solos are not nonexistent, they appear in 5 tracks here.
This is why I'm pretty sure half the people giving this 1's haven't listened.

It's how I do my sarcasm. It is quite misleading though. Unecessary apology accepted.
